Went go-karting at Eddie Irvine’s track in Bangor the other day, and found this glorious ex-John Watson Brabham BT30 F2 car on display. What a thing.

I’ve been avoiding payments by stacking up the endless 737s, ATRs, and A320s that fly over my house. A weekend near Silverstone helped me to pick up some proper rarities including (shock!) a Swordfish! Mind you, there’s something of an insult to Fairey Aircraft in here…

The oldest photo of me on Al Gore’s internet and I am actually 21 in this pic. With an ill advised attempt at a beard that my sister is making me shave, hence the can of Gillette.

An unsolicited email suggests that I’d like to write a piece on what an AI thinks the perfect supercar would look like. Sweetheart, if I want to see what the perfect supercar looks like, I’ll just get my Marcello Gandini book down from the shelf…
