C'était un rendez-vous. Mika Mino in Paris

Good race. Shame for LeClerc at the end. But Kimi, first 3 poles all consecutive and converted to victories - that’s a really impressive start to what is going to be a long and successful career. Just when you think that there’s no way the top F1 driver stats & records will ever be beaten

Suddenly noticed I wasn’t getting proper stereo sound out of my old Technics amp. General clean and copious amounts of contact cleaner sprayed into the balance potentiometer and the good clean sound came back. Should be good for another 40 years now.

Alex Zanardi is perhaps the most inspirational sportsperson ever. Total commitment to simply never giving up. Successful motor racing career cut short by a horrific life-changing accident and then an even more successful career in handcycling with multiple Paralympic Gold medals. A tragic end

Nice day for it. The Jeep is a ‘57

1st May 1994. I’ll never forget that day. Smashed the illusion that motor racing wasn’t really dangerous anymore. We glorify the way F1 was but I don’t want to go back to a time when we lost drivers like this

Never stops being special. Never take anything for granted.

Going old school until the new coffee machine arrives

Attempted repair on my coffee machine that's not pumping water properly. Nothing obviously wrong or blocked and can't be bothered randomly replacing pumps and valves until it works so I ordered a new one. At least I tried

For no particular reason, my mum's Fiat 850 Coupé. Wish we'd still had this when I learned to drive but there wasn't much left of it by then. Would have loved to have had this as my first car

It's 8 years since Yagu was unveiled. At the time it drew attention for its sci-fi aesthetic - was it appropriate for a real military vehicle to look like a Batmobile? I wrote back then about the difference between the aesthetics of The Republic, The Empire & Mad Max www.linkedin.com/pulse/looks-...

I was enjoying watching the live Monaco Historic feed on YouTube but it’s too nice a day to stay indoors

Coming to the Bicester Sunday Scramble this weekend? Pop by the new Trade Village (shown on the attached map) and say hello!

I’m not sure that my car had ever been so desperate for a wash. Months of war and then sandstorms had left it getting filthier and filthier. Glad for a quiet afternoon with the Karcher, snow-foam, and chamois. Still needs a polish though

Lots of interest in the Mika Mino today. Thanks for the supportive feedback. You can read more about the origins of this urban runabout concept and how my old X1/9 and Mini inspired it here: evpowered.co.uk/interview/ni...

Lana Del Rey just dropped a fantastic Bond song. What a shame that it’s only for a game! youtu.be/fA82c4YkAZ4

Happy Pesach!

I may have gone to a small amount of effort to make a shirt sticker to go with the great Lego Senna helmet that I bought from GPPins

Have we started entertaining the possibility that Kimi Antonelli could be the World Champion this year? The first Italian F1 champion since Ascari?!

The Mika Mino, bringing fun and safety to the half-tonne L7 microcar class. A car that I’ve been working on with Robin Hall featured in EV powered today evpowered.co.uk/features/mik...

Magnum’s 308 is up for auction. Shame that he threw the targa away into the verge, they’re hard to source now and that will hurt the value robbreport.com/motors/cars/...

Don’t worry, I just saw Chuck Norris having a coffee here

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

Been in and out of the shelter since first thing this morning. Booms overhead. But when the brave Iranian people take their country back from the oppressive regime that murders them and sponsored global terror for nearly 50 years the entire world will be a much better, safer place

Public service announcement: You need to press play on Trading Places at 22:31 to hear Eddie Murphy say “Merry New Year!” at midnight. If you want to count down to midnight with When Harry Met Sally, press play at 22:34

Sad to hear that Chris Rea didn’t make it home for Xmas this year. He was a true car guy. Who else could have written a love song to a Ferrari? youtu.be/kLvtszlRLVs

@nirkahn.bsky.social It’s like that photo of someone loading luggage in the back of a 911.

In the shadow of the terrible massacre of Jews celebrating Chanukah in Sydney today it is more important than ever to stand proud and be the light. May the rest of the festival pass peacefully

AI generates so much rubbish. I miss the old days like this when an actual professional photographer would take a photo of someone looking at a Porsche’s engine while holding an expensive weekend bag

If you spin off where there are yellow flags and a car already in the barrier you deserve a penalty that affects your next race

They’re coming home! The wonderful news we’ve been waiting two years for. The end of this nightmare. This must be the start of a very different reality for the whole region. We all deserve better. L’chaim - to life

I’m not sure that this café, “Fournos”, put enough thought into how it looks when you submit your expense receipts. For the non-Hebrew readers suffice it to say that we don’t have different letters for F and P and first time this showed up on a credit card statement I was a little shocked

Has F1 considered developing a special “rain tyre”? They could bring maybe 3 sets to every race for every car so that when it rains the cars can still go out. Just a thought.

Spa is always affected by rain so why don’t they hold the race in the middle of summer?

Italian cycling champion Gino Bartali carried forged exit visas hidden in his handlebar and seat to Jews in hiding during WWII, & ultimately helped save an estimated 800 Jews from the Nazis. Happy #BicycleBirthday, Gino! July 18 (1914-2000)

What the hell kind of propaganda is this?! It’s not binary, you don’t have to choose…

“Nir's journey took him from a little boy with big dreams and playing with Lego to board rooms and making big decisions. It's a story of passion, determination, dreams and confidence, perhaps even naivety at times, as well as overcoming failures” www.talkwiththescot.com/podcast/i-fo...

Had a great conversation with my old friend Paul Gladstone for his management podcast, talking about my career, challenges, successes, and failures youtu.be/9d6E1dEVY6g

Saw the #F1 movie and really quite enjoyed it. If you accept the basic premise that a 60yr old driver who wasn’t even successful in the 90s could jump into a modern F1 backmarker and be competitive then all the other belief-suspending details are just that, details
