We went on the full Hotwheels journey and nothing beat the joy (dad and son) of the four lane elimination track. Sadly discontinued (why??) but worth searching for. Which is your fastest Hotwheels? Let the elimination race brutally eject the slow coaches to find out

The Genesis Mint lives! Sort of.

Team LTTA (business only) because airport time is horrible. Overpriced shops, ditto chain restaurants and crowded. Used to be much better for shopping. Saw a Uniqlo the other day at an Asian airport and couldn’t remember the last time I saw a useful clothes shop in a European airport

After my bike was stolen, I reported it in vain, then I found it on Gumtree (a while ago), confronted the guy selling, only to find he bought it at a Met auction. They found it in a raid but didn’t bother to cross-ref their files and sold it. The Met did at least refund me!

Someone converted a Mk1 Micra to electric (h/t rare and on the road group on FB). Failed my test in one of these - the regular four banger.

Looks like she goes into the upside down at one point.

He’s going to Aston then? Hard grafting ahead!

Well done! I’m sure a popular shopping runabout in the 50s

Hard to proceed when Porsche kills your platform, but then Bentley had axed its “five in five” EV plan in 2024. The financial case for the high tech SSP61 platform started fraying from that date

Ha. Grumbling because he’s self sufficient but Barbara wanted limes

Gotta admire the dedication of driving to the supermarket in…whatever this ancient machine is

Shitty behaviour from the Independent.

Totally forgotten about this car! Electric Toyota IQ.

Told the designer when he asked at CES what I thought of the SUV that it looked like a shoe. I guess i realised that shoes aren’t a traditional automotive design vernacular,
so followed up with ‘but some shoes look cool’. He sensibly moved the conversation along. The saloon was very cool I thought

And it’s still dead. there was a metal key inside the fob so he spent ages looking for keyhole, trying to prise off plastic facia. Turns out they haven’t changed fob from old model so the metal key is just a blank (head explodes)

5.⁠ ⁠⁠connect 12v battery
6.⁠ ⁠⁠pull red rope with key nearby

Five for me too. Need to recalibrate my distances
