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.
Five cars you've seen (includes at museums and shows)

1. “Mirage” Transformer Porsche 911 hero car.
2. FAB 1 (both, but the Rolls-Royce is more impressive).
3. The Lincoln in which JFK was shot.
4. The Peugeot 405 T16 Pike’s Peak that Ari Vatanen drove in Climb Dance
5. Peugeot Quasar

This! Totally this!
If literally the only thing you post about on social media is politics or work-related, I’m going to assume you’re a bot.

If, when being interviewed, politicians just spoke normally, not repeating the same scripted response over and over again, we'd hate them a little less. Not a lot, but a little bit.

Here is a mid-day #rarebutnobodycares pick-me-up. The Mercedes Vaneo. Attempting to capitalise on the success of the A-class, Mercedes made the larger and more spacious Vaneo. People hated it. That would explain why it was only produced for 3 years, with less than 55,000 being made.

Generally speaking, getting a driving licence makes you a better cyclist, and being a regular cyclist makes you a better driver.

This morning I discovered that you should reset the page with Cardle, otherwise it doesn’t update the blobs for the next day.

I got it on the first go. 🤷‍♂️

Impressions #52: “Champions!”

20 years on from his passing, it’s high time I celebrated Richard Burns, World Rally Champion. Not only rally champion though, a really good man who is sorely missed.

This piece is A5 and can be yours for £75+p&p.

For just $30 an hour I will watch streaming shows with your parents and tell them whether something is a flashback

At least they weren’t being controlled by the Chinese. 😆
I can’t even work out how you’d solve this either. 🫤
So this happened in Oslo yesterday. Four articulated buses got stuck in a roundabout.

Just seen a reel of an American eating a Chocolate Orange by just…..biting into it. Like an apple.

I need a lie down.

Don’t take instructions from an AI bot. But also don’t take instructions from a web site loaded with AI slop. But also don’t bother with the top hits in search because they’re all AI slop. But also don’t bother with books written in the last couple of years because they’re all AI slop.
To be fair, let's update what the other LLMs are doing. First ChatGPT
