This is very much a bit of me - new Mercedes Vision V concept car showcases next-generation van tech and, look closely, an early look at the next V-Class MPV.

New Suzuki e-Vitara sounds properly compelling on paper – up to 267 miles of range, yet an estimated £33k price tag.

What's it like in practice, though? @whatcar.bsky.social has been for an early drive to find out. (link in replies)

So happy to see the God-tier internet switched on in my new flat today – 900mpbs down, 100mpbs up. That'll do!

Most car industry reaction seems to focus on more incentives for private buyers to choose an electric car. So, what are the priorities?

- Do we need more range from EVs?
- Do they need to be cheaper?
- Does the charging network need more work?
- Is it something else?

One of the things I'm excited about in GTA 6 is the SERA centre, the in-game version of NASA.

Surely, surely, a trip to the moon might be in order?

Big news today as the UK Government confirms some hybrid cars can be sold until 2035. Here are the headlines via @whatcar.bsky.social

- Toyota Prius and Nissan e-Power technology named directly – extrapolating out, that means most regular hybrids will remain on sale.

Dull being paired with Boring is absolutely peak.
Did a little exploring today in the car. Was very exciting despite the area. Who’d like to see some pics?

Discussing modern songs - especially APT - with my girlfriend and I think some songs must be engineered with the same precision as a Swiss watch. To be just the right beat, just the right melody, just the right amount of catchy, to attract the target audience.

Also, APT is an absolute vibe.

Slowly putting together a new bed in my flat and the ability to master simple instructions when putting stuff together makes me feel like a DIY god.

Every April 1st some car makers put out press releases in the spirit of the day. First up is @hondauk.bsky.social whose new Catnip Car Seats are sure to be the purr-fect (sorry) addition to any car.

As my first Bsky post, it seems only fitting to announce something massive, so here goes:

A couple of days ago, I bought a Honda Jazz.

And yes, I'm very happy.
