Anyone want a non running Panda 100HP? You’ll need a truck to collect and it’s in deepest western point of Cornwall. Roof box not included.

RIP Panda 100HP engine. It was nice knowing you for those short 4 weeks. Unexpected items in cylinder number 3….

So this spark plug came out of cylinder 3 on my Panda. I think that’s it gentleman. I no longer have a functioning car.

The 100HP broke down. Misfire on random cylinders…. Oh dear.

youtu.be/JSdEtQ9UK80?... Well this is a gem for car spotting. FOTU period. I was learning to drive that year and have vivid memories. Very dull video which magically becomes interesting more than 30 years later!

While abroad, I’d almost forgotten (although the Queen 🪦 reminded me) just how insane and disproportionate the news coverage of royal family antics is in the UK. This week’s nonsense is indeed of ZERO interest to me or pretty much everyone?!!

So, with all this stalker glasses talk (Meta) of unsolicited recording, is this ok? I really like watching these walking videos of various cities. It’s a great way to “travel” and oddly something I predicted during my masters thesis work 26 years ago. www.youtube.com/live/ttq9BUP...

@ajpbradley.bsky.social the Porsche strategy you mention in the latest podcast… could’ve been in place for years and only recently made public perhaps. You seemed to pick up on how fast it affected the business.

After an excellent podcast from Looking Out gang I should write about the Ferrari Luce on my old blog but Drew and Joe have said a lot that I was thinking about. There are some connections I can make with a bunch of thoughts, but my brain takes time to connect the dots!

So.... after essentially getting carried away and buying my Panda 100HP "blind".... I had a mechanic check it over. Not great news, in terms of hidden rust. But nothing that can't be fixed in time.

Excellent car show in Truro city centre today. Some amazing cars but this “every day” car of the 90s stole my heart. #alfaromeo

My Yeti sold to someone within 1 hour of listing. Catnip for Cornwall… so here’s a teaser of my next car which I went to see today. Hope to have it by the weekend or next week at the latest. Can you guess what it is? Should be pretty easy… for Cardle players.

Took photos for listing my car for sale and apart from being a diesel I struggle to think of a better Cornish car. 4WD, high driving position, not too wide, 1200kg, 5 adjustable/removable seats. 400l boot. Sadly rust is gradually killing it.

there isn't a problem with the game's industry. there's a problem with every industry and every publicly traded company. getting a "nice CEO who cares" or whatever won't fix anything until things are addressed at a more fundamental societal level. the system will always drive towards this behavior.

A reminder that a Chinese exchange student of mine way back in about 2019... DID NOT believe me that games were still available on discs. He had NEVER SEEN an actual game disc, and I sent him on a journey to the shops in to see one in the plastic!

Also just wanted to share this image here. Thanks to @sniffpetrol.com for the original collage - which I decided to analyse a little in terms of design basics...
Upper image shows Ferrari Luce side profile with measurements demonstrating 3 wheels between the wheel base in side view proportions, and over 2 wheels in height. Lower image shows Jaguar Type 001 showing it has 3.2 wheels between wheelbase, an the roof is below 2 wheels in height proportionally. Also a much longer rear overhang on the Jaguar.

Interesting car industry question on Richard Osman's House of Games (from 2024 I think)... which stated less than 1million cars were manufactured in the UK in 2023. What an absolute disaster.

The reaction here is so visceral. Nerves are raw, people seem vulnerable, emotions are high. It’s hard to remember we are talking about a 3D graphical rendering technique. When has that ever been so controversial? Strange times.

Look, Cornwall is a quaint English place to live but my home broadband internet is currently running at 2mbps. That’s not even funny. Living in Finland I got used to 300 literally all the time on my phone… and faster on home connections. What the hell UK??
