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

Shabbat Shalom, especially to the Jews of Manchester

Yom Kippur reading material ready. Shunsaku Tamiya’s autobiography

Ruin a book with a car: The Daewoo of the Jackal

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)

“Success has a lot to do with being in the right place at the right time and the secret to that is to find the right place and to wait” youtube.com/shorts/i4zrh...

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

Bought a couple of these postcard prints by Guillaume Lopez when I was at Le Mans. Really wanted his larger and very beautiful cutaways of the Alfa Giulia GT and Lotus 49 but they were too big to take home. These postcards will frame together nicely though. When you know, you know

Putting people who tell jokes and people who don't understand jokes on the same internet was a genius move.

Now that I’m no longer there I can say that I was at Le Mans over the weekend. Can’t get home because the Israeli skies are closed and it’s very difficult being away from most of my family while they’re sheltering from Iranian missiles but this is our lives now. Le Mans was great though…

I saw Brian Wilson play near Tel Aviv, 9yrs ago almost to the day. It was one of the most moving, poignant shows I’ve ever been to as he performed the whole of Pet Sounds after all that he had struggled with since first recording it. He was a true musical genius. We’ll miss him. Good Vibrations

With SandCats rolling out across London (according to the BBC, I couldn’t possibly comment), the question of the relevance of aesthetics on vehicles like this has come up again. You can read what I think about this at the link: www.linkedin.com/pulse/looks-...

It’s going to be a hot and dry Le Mans this year

La Source hairpin, Roman style, at Caesarea

Classic car show at the old port of Caesarea. Great setting for it

Bit unfair using a non-standard car and expecting us to get the year in one #Cardle

Mercedes strategy at Monaco today: “we have nothing to lose so let’s take a massive gamble by not going into the casino at all and maybe the money will just fly out of the door at us while everyone inside drowns in a freak vodka accident”.

“Lawson pitting again for the first time in this race”. And the spirit of Murray Walker lives

WTAF? A musician openly supports a viciously antisemitic, well-armed, and internationally proscribed terror group, and the day after two Jews are murdered on the streets of Washington @SkyNews runs a story about how scary it is right now to be… a musician

You chanted “globalize the intifada” so an American murdered this young couple on the streets of Washington DC to free Palestine. There is another way. There’s a better way for all of us. May their memory be a blessing for peace

FFS. Give cars proper memorable names!!

Took me a while to realise that this strange artefact on the café wall is the hand-carved wooden buck that a mould would have been taken off to cast metal signs. No idea what they’re for though

More French car content. Le 4-Team van. Petit le fool.

Peugeot showroom. Maybe Stellantis are missing a trick by not platform-sharing the grinders and offering versions branded as Opel, Alfa Romeo, Jeep etc. I mean you’d pay a bit more for a Maserati pepper grinder, right? Brits would prefer a Vauxhall one, no?

I have discovered the French equivalent of Celica Lady. Meet Fuego Woman @sniffpetrol.com @carpervert.bsky.social

Second Grand Prix running that I’ve had to watch on the move. Very glad for F1TV

Sainz! Both Williams outqualifying both Ferraris. Incredible

Nasty looking crash from Yuki. Glad he got out so quickly to show us he’s ok. I still got that horrible feeling with this being Imola

If you boo this woman on the Eurovision stage then you’re a ghoul. You have no moral compass. You’re not on the right side of history. Watch Yuval describe what she went through at the Nova music festival on October 7th when Hamas invaded Israel on their murderous killing spree youtu.be/ve0T0qzWLrM

Terrible news from Bicester. For those who don’t know this is now a site of classic car workshops and facilities. My thoughts with the entire British car community and all affected news.sky.com/story/two-fi...

@crackedwindscreen.bsky.social @ajpbradley.bsky.social Thanks for the shout out on the @motoringpodcast.com show this week

Making small cars fun again carbuzz.com/you-can-make...

Managed to save my Monaco ePrix photos from the corrupted SD card. So relieved, I’d resigned myself to losing them

I was interviewed by George East for EV Powered magazine about my approach to designing lightweight EVs. You can read the article here. evpowered.co.uk/interview/ni...

Gutted. Just tried to get the Nikon photos from the Monaco ePrix onto the iPad and the card is blank. Will try to retrieve the data at home but I’m not hopeful, looks like I’ve lost all the decent photos that I took over the weekend. Only have what I got on my phone

I have been interviewed for this podcast. Talking about how EVs can be lighter, have smaller batteries, and be more fun to drive podcasts.apple.com/il/podcast/e...

Spent the afternoon in the pits at Monaco for the ePrix thanks to my friends at Lola
