Looking at new tyres.

Hmm. Yes.

I’d like really good tyres please.

Hmm yes.

£600+ oh right. Ok.

Hmm. Maybe.

I know one of my “things” is really good tyres and I’d regret it as I slid off the road into a ditch but c’mon man. £650?

Yes, I know there’s more expensive tyres / cars etc.

I need to solve a mystery.

Someone anonymously sent me a hot wheels in the post.

I won’t post a pic of the car because I won’t be able to tell if someone is just taking credit.

If you sent me a toy car this week please identify yourself by telling me what make, model & colour it was.

Christopher Nolan Trojan Horse Movie Heist pitch.

Tech heist. Crack team played by your usual heavy hitters wiping out ÃÏ servers all over the world.

He only wants to do it practically. No cgi. In real server farms.

Twist. The actors do it for real & we rid ourselves of ÀÏ plus get a cool movie.

As a cultural advisor to the internet I strongly recommend watching or rewatching the television series Justified from the beginning.

Whichever case applies.

For me I think this will be the fourth or fifth time around.

It’s my familiar, comfortable armchair of a tv show. Or slippers maybe.

I have escaped London and have taken a day off tomorrow. A three day weekend which is costing me a days wages but I don’t care. I’m shattered and haven’t been home in two weeks.

The 850 sprang into action after lying dormant all that time and dominated the motorways in order to get me home. 🫡

You simply have another 007 clone get birthed from a pod filled with goop.

Moneypenny, M & Q do a black magic resurrection spell.

Twin brother.

Parallel dimension.

Have none of the Amazon people ever seen movies before?

Rewatched The Guest (2014) again last night as my Halloween 🎃 themed movie.

Such a great little film. Loads of style, great score & soundtrack. Superb performances and just creepy & a little bonkers enough.

Dan Stevens is having such a good time. Charisma for days.

Alternator belt on the 940 decided to relocate itself on a whim recently. Not even sure how.

I could just replace the belt but as a preemptive bit of maintenance I got a new alternator as well.

Also a new “door keeper opener” for the 850 arrived so I guess this is what I’m doing this weekend.

Who schedules a 18:00-03:00 shoot in central London on Halloween?

This production.

You do your lates at the start of the week and then claw back to return to normal times for Friday so people aren’t wiped out or driving home knackered.

Should’ve booked today off but my colleagues would miss me.

I missed the bacon rolls at Greggs by a second as the clock clicked to 11:01.

The bacon is right there man. It didn’t cease to exist.

Just keep selling it until it’s gone. This arbitrary time you’ve decided to deny people bacon is absurd.

Yes I’m working splits. Yes. This is my breakfast time.

Shout out to this piece of art I saw at a coffee shop in Soho today.

I get it Burning Horse. I’m picking up what you’re laying down.

OK, so this is embarrassing. Having earlier slandered Guillermo del Toro by saying he'd never made a film with an exploding helicopter, I've been reminded that he did blow one up in Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

One exploding helicopter though, that's pathetic.

Off to see the new Frankenstein tonight.

I hope they do “Putting on the Ritz”. 🤞🏻

Looks like that car I was enquiring after has been sold.

History has never known despair like this.

I have fallen off the wagon and messaged a seller about a car for sale on the internet.

I haven’t bought a car since 11th May 2003.

The rush is exhilarating.

Just a reminder that in Enemy of the State (1998) the cars in the tunnel chase scene had to be chopped into several sections, taken three levels below in a lift, reassembled and painted.

Once filming was complete they were disassembled once again and removed from the duct.

You’re welcome.

Shitty long day at work but the guy at the kebab shop called me “Boss Man” so that helped.

Spotted this little nugget outside the local Halfords.

Lowered. Aftermarket wheels with track looking tyres. Stripped out. Roll cage.

Bet it’s a giggle to drive.
