Hi, I’m Alan.
In case you’ve missed my last 2 decades on social media, I’m a total car nerd, particularly about the Toyota Yaris, but I also cycle and enjoy hiking.
Trains, buses and public transport/transit are cool too and I think all those should be cleaner, more frequent and cheaper.

The inconsiderates who never get mentioned are those who leave their basket at the self service tills with the handles crossed over. Worse than shoplifters.

This is what I see in responsible enterprises.
It’s not the same vision that’s being touted by solution vendors and AI-vangelists, or that’s being reported by the tech press. It’s far more nuanced, and involves much more control over who and what.
PwC somehow more lucid on AI and education than most university leaders these days

It’s a fire hose of stupidity, isn’t it? 🤦‍♂️
Trump: "If you look at some of these cars, they didn't even work. They had computers all over the place trying to save half an ounce of fuel. We have fuel for the next 500 to 1,000 years under our feet."

Ummm…
This just appeared as part of an eBay ad on Instagram.
I’m scared to click, so can any of you tell me what it is?

C4 should commission a programme where three geeks reprogram the computers that run modern cars to do all sorts of weird driving madness. Obviously, only drive those cars on tracks, not public roads. It would inspire a million kids to code.

Enjoyed this weeks @motoringpodcast.com particularly what seemed to be a plea by @ajpbradley.bsky.social to see that new Ferrari in person, preferably in Italy, perhaps Tuscany in the Spring.

This. Totally this. 😁

A nasty man who doesn't take "no" for an answer.
Look at the Grenadier for his definition of "British". Engineered by Austrians, powered by Germans, built by the French and badged by the British. If he really cared about the UK, it would have been engineered and built here. We have the skills.

Oh, this is challenging fun (via @desmonts.net )

Well, that was an enjoyable evening. Lovely to finally meet and chat to @sniffpetrol.com too. 👍
I know I’m in the right place for @smithandsniff.bsky.social . I followed an Avantime into the car park car btaining an NSX and many Abarth, and amongst the Superdry hoodies is a smattering of @takona.co.uk and other “car stuff” sweet, sweet merch.
