Since streaming is the new cinema - I would consider including Netflix’s Midnight Mass. At first I thought it was slow, then I thought it was OK, then it got me, and by the end it was inhabiting my head.

I’m going to cheat and go with two prototypes.

Do upper-echelon F1 drivers like Ricciardo not get behind the wheel of their prospective vehicle before deciding whether to jump ship? It seems pretty risky to not know what a pile of trouble your car is before putting your career on the line.

Yep - you’re right

HOW LONG before the passive aggressive apology statement where she says, ‘This video does not reflect who I am. I have always believed in tolerance and equality.’

IS APPLE still working on a smart electric car? If so they’ve probably dreamt up some completely different recharging connector system they will stubbornly try to push ahead with. *yes I’m an Apple user who’s sick of their recharging connector bullshit*

RX-7 STORY: First job out of college, I was driving to work on the freeway. I looked down to adjust the radio like a stupid young driver, and ran up the back of a woman and her young daughter. My car made it to the shoulder and died. So to my shame, I had to catch a ride with the woman who’s car I just hit - she…

Also said that when they got down there they were completely lost. Couldn’t find the wreck and were just trawling around in the dark.

Just disguise yourself as her, and do yourself. Win/Win

Look, they were clearly unprofessional. But there could be some context around this, especially given the last two sentences of the article. China has been hammering Hong Kong since taking over, and making life oppressive and bleak for people who were told differently. On top of that, if mainland Chinese passengers…

I LIVE within a few kilometres of where this happened.
A couple of things to consider:
• This is a low socio-economic area with racial and other factors playing a part in problems that affect the community.
• There is a youth crime plague resulting from the above.
A lot of the crime involves car theft, subsequent police…

I was working in LA (I’m Australian) and came out of a restaurant late one night to hear ear-splitting screams and ranting coming from a shirtless, homeless guy slumped against a wall across the road.

AS SOMEONE from the outside looking in, it seems to me this all goes back to a schism from the Civil War. The South never forgave the Union for forcibly grafting them back onto the United States. They have self-radicalised conservatism, and increasingly rejected what they perceive as Democratic ideals - regardless of…

THIS REMINDS ME of the Gene Hackman film Heist, where they stole gold from an airport by emptying the gold container and just putting it in some other boxes nearby that they’d arranged to be transported in the same cargo shipment. Then they went back and collected their boxes under the noses of the investigating…

I was going to fly Virgin, but I heard they don’t go all the way.

MARVEL should use this as an opportunity and reboot Galactus as an arc villain, and do him right. Not that space tornado crap from the Fantastic Four film.

PS: should have said for anyone that’s interested, that it’s made by a French company and they can’t ship it outside the continent with the battery and motor - as I found out. But you can buy it as a standard bicycle, and have those fitted locally, because it’s set up to take industry standard kit.

I sold my last vehicle and decided I wouldn’t buy another combustion engine. Here in Australia the electric vehicles I’m interested in still cost a fortune, so in the meantime I bought an electric bike to cover some of my transport needs. Here’s some promo shots of it - might appeal to some other motorheads.

AUSTRALIA had a looney farmer called Leonard Casley who declared himself Prince Leonard of Hutt after a dispute with his state government over wheat taxes. He proclaimed his property a micronation (75 square kilometres), issued his own currency, and dubbed his wife ‘Her Royal Highness Princess Shirley of Hutt, Dame of…

In college I delivered pizzas in a remote area, often during the late night shift. I had an old car with a bench seat and three-on-the-tree that probably cost me more in petrol and repairs than I made in my pay packet. Sometimes, if I was thinking about the girl who didn’t love me, and how it was just me, the night,…
