Hey motoring journo friends, sorry if you thought you work hard, apparently it’s all expected to drop into your lap because you’re all posh. Fucks sake this has properly pissed me off this morning.

Clear as day that the Type-01 was designed to be a 2dr from the start and changed later on. Both front AND rear ingress horribly compromised. Look at where the b-pillar sits in relation to the drivers seat! I love the design but they’ve utterly fucked it making it a 4dr.

This is truly one of the most disgusting things I've read in my lifetime. But the replies to this have got me actually crying with laughter 😂

I have to act disgusted when I catch my son picking his nose, but my fess is that when I was his age I used to have a "secret recipe" where I'd pick my nose, then put my finger in my ear, then up my bum, and then I'd eat my specially seasoned bogey.

What - and I cannot stress this highly enough - THE FUCK.

QOTD: What's the perfect 4-car garage from one manufacturer the year you graduated high school? Actually a whopping 3 models when I did So 993 convertible for summer 993 GT2 for my funeral 928 GTS for long distance 968 Club Sport for daily duties

Saw quite a few of the new EV Escalade IQs in Florida, I was genuinely taken aback by the the size. See the second pic for the size comparison with the new XC60 I was driving. The Caddy blocked out the sun. Also, it weighs 4120kg 🫪

I hope other people get to have such deep joy and satisfaction as I do at work, designing a custom shoulder screw and having it fit absolutely perfectly. Pure pleasure 🥰🤓

I finally finished rebuilding MiL’s raised decking today. Can’t say I planned for all the 30+°C temp working (in a south facing place sheltered from wind 🥵), but very satisfied with how it’s turned out. Will add some in-build pics to the next posts. Total material costs: £4,228

In went a ridiculously over-specced C24 treated frame, posts either set in concrete 80cm deep, or bolted to the stone slabs with hefty brackets. Stringers were a bitch, never doing that again. Composite decking boards are an arse too, get ridiculously hot in the sun.

New car day is always a good day! Out with the Cupra Born, in with the VW ID.3 GTX. 321bhp, RWD, 79kWh battery and 369 mile WLTP range. Looking forward to getting to know this and seeing how different it is! (hint: probably not very 😂)

To all the people on here crowing about how it’s not in the social media ban - you do realise that this will just become a cesspit of all the worst TikTok, Snapchat, AI bilge and all the teenagers that come with it. It’ll be unusable, then they’ll introduce paid tiers just like X. Mark my words.

Men over 30 - READ THIS. 1. Eat more fibre. Like, a lot more. Add psyllium husks to porridge, easy peasy. 2. STOP taking your phone into the toilet when you have a dump. Seriously. Just do it, you might just avoid some utterly horrible stuff that I’ve been through and 70% of men over40 get.

Hi all, would be great if you could all share this post please, want as many visitors as possible on Sunday! Thanks! 😁👍

Coming to the Bicester Sunday Scramble this weekend? Pop by the new Trade Village (shown on the attached map) and say hello!

So after 28,000 miles in our old leased ForTwo EQ, my wife settled on wanting another as it’s the perfect car for her. Wanted the LED lights as the std ones are terrible, but not leather seats. So that only leaves the Brabus! And you know what, I think it looks bloody brilliant 😁👍 ‘71, 8k, £10.5k

Progress is being made. Being 50 next year means doing this is not just important, but a whole lot more difficult! Protein, creatine and hard work. Boring eh? 😂

Whelp, after working freelance for a company for 17yrs, and said company being bought out and systematically getting rid of anyone who had been there a long time, it was my turn today. Short sighted bellends really are going to fuck themselves. Oh well.
