I've now got a mental image (and ear worm) of a traction engine that goes "nsh nsh nsh whistle" all day.

As a Brit working for a US company constantly infuriated by that stupid date format, I fully endorse Cadillac F1's right to be 100% American.

I know a traffic cop who attended two fatals on the same shift earlier this week. One particularly grim. It definitely takes its mental toll.

Not quite sure how I kept the streak going there. Cycled through makes with a likely awd badge then somehow plucked one from the incomprehensible model line-up.

Pretty sure that's what Ross Noble said first time he saw it.

Hoping for scarring seems a bit wrong somehow, but in the circumstances... 🙏🤞

You're going to need a bigger bottle.

That is surely a line in a Thomas the Tank Engine episode, just before he does something unbelievably stupid.

Crashed or crushed?

It certainly should be crushed.

Imagine my surprise that a 'tech' journalist doesn't know how tech works.

I mean, that in itself would be good advice to an awful lot of people.

Completely lost with the first pic, wild guess on model and year for the second...

That's suboptimal. 🙃

Does this mean you might be invited to the new Jag launch, @sniffpetrol.com ? 😉

I know a few at Gaydon who will have had a spring in their step this morning. However, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a wider cull coming.

A brand new mk1 Subaru Impreza Sport. Bought because I couldn't afford (to insure) a Turbo. Waited three months for it, owned it two months before putting it on its roof. 🤦‍♂️

I think it should be preserved as a lesson that it is possible to create something uglier than a Ssangyong if you try hard enough.
