No hotel for me tonight. I’m staying in a tent whose lights, sockets etc are being powered by the Polestar 4SUV in which I drove here…
My tent…
My view… A wider view. My car.

Isn’t it odd how filmed and even televised podcasts have essentially taken us back to classic Monty Python ‘It’s The Arts’ television?
Good evening, Raymond Luxury-Yacht.

It all really started to go wrong when we just accepted the word 'banter' as an acceptable way to express bullying someone.

Also: proper journalism requires training, expertise, talent, editorial supervision, and money. Making stuff up on Facebook is free and there’s no standard to which you must adhere. Even spelling is optional.

Today would’ve been my friend Tom Matano’s 79th birthday. Tom designed cars like the NA Miata, NB Miata, and FD RX-7. If you love Miatas, you have him to thank for many things that make them special. It’s important to remember people. Thank you for remembering Tom with me today

Hamilton also coined the term "software engineering" and founded two successful software companies.

Sounds awesome. I’ve never had a chance to fly in anything classic (unless a Piper Cherokee counts?) so count me as extremely jealous.

Thanks man. For what it’s worth, I’ve driven the Polestar 4 with no rear screen, and it doesn’t make the rear claustrophobic as such — mostly because of the glass roof — but it is odd to look back from the driver’s seat and see a blank panel.
