Could this be a metaphor for something?

Perhaps even a portent?

Or maybe it's just a completely knackered Niva decomposing on someone's drive, somewhere in North Wales.

If you emailed me regarding the Super Silhouette print, you should have a reply in your inbox confirming everything and maybe asking for a delivery address.

For everyone else, they’re about 50% sold out now, so if you want one email himself(at)mrjalco(dot)co(dot)uk.

They won’t be reprinted!

Actually thought I knew the make for once! Was lucky with model as there is a strong family resemblance as you say.

How much are used EVs going for these days? I join my good friend, Jonathan Porterfield, for his weekly auction video to chat bargains, Buzzes, beavers, big batteries and much more. ⚡️

Prints are in production. If you’re interested in one of these, get your name down this weekend.

It’s a strict run of 25 individually signed prints and I’ve already had a few orders. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Govt publishes England water companies' league of sewage dumping and pollution .

Worst since 2011. 9 companies collectively received 19 out of possible 36 stars.

Thames Water the lowest rating of 1. Seven firms score only 2.

No fines on execs. No exec prosecuted. Dividends paid. Customers fleeced

There's some really interesting discussion in this. FSD now has the (supervised) on the end in the USA. I'd call it Fake Self Driving as that is far more accurate.

Who could have guessed that continuing to burn stuff in combustion engines doesn’t reduce emissions?
Using just 3% of biofuels land for solar would provide the equivalent amount of energy.
But I guess getting massive subsidies is more important than the end goal.
Biofuels were meant to reduce emissions — but recent evidence shows they’re doing the opposite.

New data suggest that crop-based biofuels are worsening CO₂ emissions globally. 🧵1/3
You don't want to start from here...😀

Gasoline cars are basically 50-liter rolling bombs we’ve all agreed to sit on. 🔥 Meanwhile, EVs are out here catching fewer fires than politicians telling the truth. 1,530 fires per 100k gas cars vs just 25 for EVs, almost zero for #LFP. The only thing burning are the myths. ⚡🚗 #EV #Safety #Firesafe

Beats me why they're allowed in places with mains gas at all. If you are out in the sticks then fair enough.

Chery’s 600 Wh/kg solid-state battery enters pilot production in 2026, full scale in 2027 — promising up to 1,300 km range. A 360 kg LFP pack (60 kWh) would hold 216 kWh with this chemistry — 3.6× the energy, same weight. Range anxiety? Extinct. Pace of evolution is why PHEVs & ICEs have no future.

Dreadful. Can't wear them. Flat reading glasses seem better for me and if they're the right strength you have closer up and reasonable distance vision without needing to switch. They do just get in the way with some viewfinders. Still can't read the excessively tiny writing some like to use 🙄

Kit car conversions to breathe new life into rusty BL Minis were once big business in the UK. One of the odder offerings in the 1990s was the open-air Alto Boxer, which hailed from a Preston company. Its most unusual feature was an extended fibreglass nose. #weirdcarbs

Musk says that people already do a lot of texting in their car. This is basically his entire defense against the safety criticisms of Autopilot and FSD: people aren't paying attention anyway, and these systems make it marginally safer (totally ignoring the fact that they wildly induce this behavior)

Denmark’s EV revolution is almost complete. In Sept 2025, 90.4 % of new private cars were BEVs, just 1.4 % PHEVs, 8.2 % ICE.
Trailing 12 months: 81.4 % BEV.
The S-curve shows Denmark will hit ~99 % BEV by 2028 — a Norway-level transition in under a decade. #BEV #EV #Disruption @leraffl.bsky.social
