I was just pondering what car I would actually like to own next. Finding it hard to think of one. I'd like big car comfort but not a big car. Competent, but not deadly dull Is there a modern equivalent of a Citroën GSA?

I've only ever seen one of these on the road once. In Daventry of all places. Tim Bishop if you know the name.

Jam Roly-Poly-flavoured Horlicks is as odd as you'd expect. It's like drinking a pudding/dessert. I'm still not sure if I like it.

Very soggy day! It rained so much that during the one ten minute spell where it wasn't, we had to film the intro and outro!

It should be illegal to play any form of Christmas music before about the 15th December. Playing Christmas music in November is even more wrong. Make it stop!

Back in 2019 in Auckland, I wondered if fixing the air con was a waste of money. Over 70,000kms later, I'd say not though now the air con is broken again...

I'm so sorry. I feel this is my fault for buying a convertible car. Which is currently filling up with water. Again.

Jeepers, the overwhelm is strong today. I genuinely feel like I'm thinking hard about 200 different things all at once. Which means nothing gets done.

One American, one Italian. Both actually Polish and built in the same factory. Fittingly in Tychy, though that's not how you actually pronounce it.

I think I need to be realistic and find the Saab a new home. Perfect winter beater? Hell no! It is interesting though. And leaky... £700ono.

This new 'charge per mile' scheme for EVs seems incredibly flawed. People have to guess how many miles they're going to do and pay in advance. What if you sell the car? Do you get a refund? Who is going to police the numbers or will they just rely on MOT history?
