verses are famously hard to find. they should add numbers so it’s easier to find them

Daughter now has a horse... Unrelated: Race car for sale. Dammit. Clueless as to valuation though. 1976 Carrera 3.0

If you didn't manage to pick up the issue of @evo-magazine.bsky.social with my feature on the Mazda Museum in Hiroshima, you can now read it online www.evo.co.uk/features/208...

Selling, selling, sold. 12k, collected tomorrow. Happy days. RS Limited 👍

Spring cleaning. Carrera 3.0 getting new lights / indicator stalk and wiring, RS Ltd awaiting sale, 944 rally project being cleaned out.

The boy is cluttering up the drive. Strong approve

A week ago I wrote about how the US system might respond to a mentally unfit president - just hypothetically, obvs - and there’s plenty of options, it’s just that someone has to resolve to actually use them, and that’s the problem. Hypothetically. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Michael Portillo as Easter Eggs A thread 🧵

The offspring, demonstrating clearly that there wasn't a mix up at the hospital.

I've been sat upon. It was nice.

Neil's stuff is superb. Get some. Or I'll be having words...

I IMMEDIATELY thought Astra GTE

Anyone? Bueller?

Proper day for Brian

Just seen a Twitter screen grab of someone referring to Andrew Tate's 'desert trek' into Dubai as 'Lawrence of dry labia'

World class sandbagging from the Aston Martin F1 team. Can’t wait for everyone’s surprise tomorrow when Newey unleashes the secret feature and Alonso sets Pole

That time of year. RIP Dougie. ❤️

There's a new Smith and Sniff Q&A show out today in which we signally fail to mention our two upcoming live shows, one of which is in aid of a very good cause. Links here: smithandsniff.com/pages/live

18 minute timeline cleanser video, and Alyssa's fundraiser is still open, if you've a couple of quid to throw in. justgiving.com/page/j40-goo...

I’m back with another Reading Russia Weekend Extra. In this edition: what the Russian papers have been saying about the talks in Abu Dhabi and the Olympics in Milan-Cortina, plus memories of a Nato chief visiting Moscow 25 years ago. #ReadingRussia

meant to post it earlier, but this is so good and disturbing by @helenrumbelow.bsky.social on the collective mindset the Epstein files reveal www.thetimes.com/life-style/c...

Normal people, is who

An Arctic Mujahedeen, eh? What a time to be alive. Canada's Global & Mail: Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

#FOTU fans: anyone in vaguely the east midlands with a FOTU-suitable car able to spare a couple of hours at some point in the next couple of weeks (and don't mind potentially bringing it out while the weather's a bit crap)?

Imagine being Sen. Mark Kelly today. A former astronaut, who spent 54 days in space for his country, a retired Navy pilot and combat Vet who flew 39 high-risk missions in battle, and whose retirement benefits are now being taken by a drunken frat boy like Pete Hegseth. I stand with Mark Kelly.

Fortunately it’s had 3 coats of Lanoguard in my ownership so I’m trusting that it’s not dissolving quite yet. But yes, it looks outstanding when it’s filthy. Photo from 2 years ago when I was daily driving it to see mum in hospital.

Your occasional reminder that one of my road legal daily drives is a forward control converted Land Rover Discovery and I still love the thing #weirdcarbs

This dog definitely does care about fancy cars. Sat in the back of a Rolls Royce and still believes he has a hard life

Merry Christmas to all our readers. Everyone else can fu(the rest of this post has been deleted on the grounds of taste)ck off. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q68x...

Not usually one to brag about my presents, but thought this gorgeous pendant from Whitby's Ebor Jetworks was worth sharing. I love the way they combine the fossilised wood of jet with ultra modern, manmade materials - in this case Detroit agate.

It’s a long story so don’t ask but…Tank Museum wrapping paper, featuring festive tanks, actually exists and I feel the need to share this

There's something extra tragic about him putting it on himself

There’s an unedifying picture of US automotive. CEOs Farley and Filosa (not Barra though) meekly standing behind Trump while he spouts racist garbage after rolling back climate change regulations to allow them to carry on selling $80k 15mpg petrol pickups

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

45 years ago I made a pitch for the Director-General job. Didn’t get it – mind you, I was only 13. But I did get a reply from Ian Trethowan, who was DG at the time. All these years later I’m proud to work for the BBC.

We lived in a pub when I was growing up and when I was 3 (50 years ago!) we had someone in to draw the pub for a business card. I sat next to him and watched him draw every line. I was transfixed and it was a huge inspiration for me. I’ve dreamt about owning that drawing for years…

Caught this on the news last night - Traumatic Brain Injury is poorly understood - there is very much a cohort of concern www.itv.com/news/2025-11...

That columnist reminds me of my idea for doing list features like "10 cars you've never heard of!" and filling it with Porsche 911s and Fiestas and Golfs and writing as if the author has only just discovered them. Or "Did you know the French made cars?", that kind of thing.

Rallye continues to show up every other car I've owned by sailing through another MOT. Windscreen has slowly been collecting stone chips and the tester has finally noticed, but none have turned into cracks. Car's still for sale, if you know anyone interested...

I've got the best job in the world because it produces moments like this

Even I thought this was one of mine!

Craig's work is legendary. Hard not to hatch plans which involve the sale of a child. Or two.

So GSF parts have come good this year, they have sponsored the racePanda, given us a butt-load of spares and paid for a Mission Motorsport beneficiary to race in the (blatantly/biased) best car ever. What a machine!

Got myself one of these reserved. You should too, if you haven't already.
