Dear Santa - all I want for Christmas is for the screaming to stop - just leave us in silence with the science… youtu.be/8Sx96sDYI98

Wild camping on Dartmoor is legal, supreme court rules

Pretty sure I saw “Woke Marxist Pope” supporting Motörhead in Leeds in ‘89 🤔🤣

Ooof… 🤣

If Roy Batty was British. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Dropped toast landing butter-side-up, trains arriving on time, Arsenal beating Real Madrid 3-0. All those moments will be lost in time, like Boris Johnson's WhatsApps. Time to die."

Simple thing we can do in UK to tell the Big Orange to FO: don’t buy US wine. Wine from USA is the largest Agricultural export to UK, 15% of total. With roughly 25million UK wine drinkers, that’s ~ $10 each a year, so not much each. Tonight I’m on a nice Bordeaux instead. Small change, big impact.

Lovely sunset last night, Venus nice & bright

It's Not A Difference Of Opinion...

Could the argument over what type of hybrid should be allowed from 2030 (MHEV / HEV / PHEV), and the relative benefits of each, be overcome by simply linking the ICE emissions to required battery-only range - 100g/km = 100miles, 120g/km = 120miles, etc. Ignore whether it has a plug or not and… [1/2]

Seems I’m a bit behind the curve here (busy year…) but just caught up with the excellent lnk.to/GhostInTheMachine podcast about motor-doping in cycling. Really good investigative work from @chrissymbell.bsky.social If you are even slightly interested in sport cycling then well worth a listen! 🚴‍♂️

“EV’s are no good because the public charging just isn’t good enough, you can’t charge them if you don’t have a drive”… Sigh… 🙄

So as I’m likely to be more active on here regarding EVs I thought I’d share a bit of my background and EV story. I’ve been a Powertrain design & development Engineer for several decades, having worked on all sizes & types of ICE, from small passenger car up to huge marine engines (1/13)

First 3 followers on here - One family 👍🏻; One established unknown who is pro-EV 👍🏻; And one new unknown who when I check on TwiX was a Melon-Husk / Tango / Maga fanboy ❌ 🤦‍♂️ Off you trot…

Is it safe in here? Will the Melon Husk find us and throw a tantrum?
