@ajpbradley.bsky.social @crackedwindscreen.bsky.social As you two are the experts in driving far in a sub 200 mile range EV, I've got questions. I've got to make a trip to Aberdeen from Oxfordshire end of Nov. Tips? Should I get a subscription to something?

This BBC model-making video from 1990 popped up in my YouTube recommendations, and I figured some people I know on here might appreciate it youtu.be/ymYJ2VVRnWg?...

Not 1 but 2 extra slices of bacon in the pack today. Winning at life.

Happy Pythagorean Triple Date Day

“As soon as it gets into a woodland, it just completely takes over," Phil said. "We have a lot of existing forests that are progressing towards having the biodiversity of a car park." 🤣 they ran the quote! 🤣 bsky.app/profile/prot...

@gergely.pragmaticengineer.com first time watching your pod on YT (headphones are broken, watched on the TV) Really enjoying Wills thoughts, but something is distracting me… Why are the books behind Will the wrong way around?? The ones behind you are ok. Important questions this morning 😂

I was* a strange child. * I'm a strange adult, and would have one in a heartbeat.

Had a fantastic weekend doing the car for your classics short course from HSA. Highly recommend! www.heritageskillsacademy.co.uk/short-courses

Toys.

“Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Edward the Confessor’s dead?” “Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “What about Harald Hardrada?” “He’s dead, Dave. Everybody’s dead, Dave.” “Not King Harold?” “Yes, Dave. King Harold’s dead, Dave. Everybody is dead, Dave.”

New day. Another pretty view.

Also went on the London Eye. VERY HIGH.

Saw my first super yacht up close today, parked in London. OMG the size of the thing.

Boy2 has come back from college saying he's now on the student leadership team, representing students with the college leadership and teachers. I was a touched surprised he put himself forward for this. "Free fancy biscuits at the meeting Dad!" That's m'boy.

night y’all, let’s do some box flares and a turbocharger this evening www.iconicauctioneers.com/1986-ford-ca...

I get such a kick out of the fact my 16 year old loves taking pictures of shitboxes/oldcars/weirdcars and sending them to me. Latest from his wanderings in Banbury.

The 11 year old got a phone for his birthday. It is going well so far. (It's locked down harder than a locked down thing, I'm a tech savy dad of 3 and had 2 kids to practice on)

Whooo! Dates announced. Mum's held the holiday cottage in Laurencekirk for me. Scotland WRC 2027 lets gooooooo. rallyscotland.org

Watching Lewis Hamilton YT video of him picking up his newly refurbished F40. What I enjoy the most is him making Old Man Noises while squeezing into the driver's seat. Just like all 40+ year old men.

Just had to check to see if prices for LC's have crashed in the UK yet. No. Can we spread terrible rumours about how terrible they are, please?

On the bright side, our unplanned visit to the tire shop brought us by an incredible sight. Behold: at least a dozen Honda Z600s sitting by the side of the road in Rough and Ready, CA (yes, that’s a real place).

Just watched the last 10 seconds or so of the WRC title decider again, and it's just as dramatic as watching it live. Highly recommend watching it, the link should take you to 1 minute 28 seconds. 🤯 youtu.be/hzdpA_K-og8?...

One of the most insane WRC Championships I have ever had the pleasure of watching. A phenomenal way to start bringing WRC back to the UK. Well done to Evans and Martin. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇧

Crazy end to the WRC title showdown. Elfyn Evans wins the title after Oliver Solberg went off with two corners to go. He is Great Britain's first World Rally Champion in 25 years since Richard Burns in 2001. #WRC

Oh Oliver. I’m so sorry for him. #WRC

Let asylum seekers work: it'll fix a few problems in our labour market, save taxpayers some cash and mean we don't need giant asylum sites like MOD Bicester. Or we could keep being performatively awful to asylum seekers for no benefit.

I'll have whatever Oscar Piastri is having. #F1

Has Ferrari forgotten to tie a plastic bag around the distributor?

Most exciting formation lap EVER

Slept in this morning. Looked at the time: "Bugger missed the start of the race" Turned on computer. SMUG FACE.

Got to be a first for me. Hearing Montrose mentioned during a Scotland match and seeing a former Montrose player play for Scotland.

I don’t need a new watch. I don’t need a new watch. I don’t n…
