New cars editor for CAR and Parkers.
Much excitement as I spotted a new Lancia Ypsilon today. Velour upholstery is yummy, but the leather plate sticking out of the dash is a bit odd. Bonus K11 Micra, too.

Very grateful to
@keith-adams.bsky.social
for chucking me the key to this today. The sound of it coming on cam at 6.5k is still in my head, and the chassis is even more engaging than I remember. Better secondary ride than the Continental GT, too.

You can easily fit a full Tesco meal deal in the door pocket of a Continental GT. Azure PHEV is fast enough to make the Speed feel pointless.

I spent a few hours in the RML GT Hypercar development prototype the other week. 907bhp really shouldn't feel this approachable. Review live on CAR now.

RS Watanabes wouldn't be my first choice for a Starlet, but they undoubtedly look good.

I saw two beige Vauxhall Cascadas within 30 seconds of each other this morning. Clearly a glitch in the Matrix.

I've got an Omoda 9 this week. If the suspension was as polished as the hybrid system, it'd be a real contender.

3am start to catch a 6am flight this morning. First time at Norwich airport and it's best described as normal for Norfolk; this is departures. All of it.

Does anyone have a Renault Extra/Express I could borrow for a

Caught sight of this Volvo 780 in a carpark I was driving past. I did an immediate u-turn for a closer look.

I'm not entirely sold on the new M5. Great when you're on it, but it feels like the porker it is when you're driving normally. On the plus side, my son now likes M5s.

Job alert! If you want to be a motoring journalist, make sure you stick your hat in the ring. I put off becoming one for years because I didn't have the qualifications. How you write, assess a car, and your body of work are what really matter.

Even after a decade of being a motoring journalist, this week has been one of excess. First mid-engined Lamborghini and also the most powerful car I've driven, then the heaviest. A shame both are footballer spec.
