If I was choosing a vehicle that could only be powered by one element, I’d choose a heavier element.

The company I work for has a big project with Qatar that has been beset with problems and delayed (and delayed and delayed), and while I feel bad that we are not getting stuff shipped to the customer (and I’m fed up of the space it’s taking up), I don’t feel bad about delays on something that has probably been built…

Aren’t some of these things also coupés?

Having watched a highlights show I can’t help think of it as an overly-gimmicky rallycross version of off-road truck racing. It is early days, it has a few kinks to work out, we have covid putting a spanner in the works, so I’m not going to condemn it already, but I don’t know if it is going to hold my attention.

Looks like someone didn’t check it against MSS-SP-55 (I hate myself for being able to recall that mouthful).

I get the feeling gender reveal parties are just a lot of pointless willy-waving, all the willy-waving that matter took place months before.

It would make some sort of sense to have Porsche start (or take over) an F1 team and then bring in another of the groups brands to run a junior (or sister) team to share development, but I can’t really see Audi wanting to be junior to Porsche on the track.

All that railway stuff always struck me as anti-train propaganda rather than any real fear, there are plenty of ways people could have travelled at that speed available before the railways were introduced, but no-one ever brought forward any evidence.

I don’t get hung up about it, but personally I’d rather reverse in and pull out of a space. The last place I worked even mandated a reverse in policy, although I’d rather alternate cars nose to tail so you can leave more space on the drivers side to open the door (my car has huge doors and I have a dodgy knee). Where…

I’m not sure how educating Hondas is going to solve this.

I think the problem with any scripted sports show is that in writing the drama it misses the entire reason people watch sports. There’s no point of cheering on your favourite team or competitor if you know they are going to win, even Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes get it wrong sometimes. There’s always going to be…

I saw one of these on the road a while back (not in the US, of course) and it look just like a car, which I think was VW’s point. Did you feel like you were just getting on with your day and not trying to make some sort of electronic gesture when driving it?

Alfa Romeo SV, it just doesn’t quite fit as a design and I love it.

I never liked it, but it was distinctive, I’m sure me and my brother described it as BMW-sort-of-horrible-metallic-mustard-kind-of-colour.  I’m pretty sure BMW dream up a new horrid colour every time they release an M car.

I didn’t think much of the design until I saw that, now I kind of like it.  I think they’ve just moved the rear axle further back than you’d expect.

Are you sure that it is not actually full size but Canadians are very, very small?

The thing that tells me what gear the car thinks I should put it in. I admit I’ve only suffered this in our works pool car, but please do not tell me I should be in 5th when I am travelling downhill approaching a roundabout, I’ve done this for far longer than you have, car.

I must say it has enough retro to turn my head and enough contemporary to keep it there.  But, yes, I’ll lay down money only when it is actually a thing.

It’s a lovely blend of timing, strategy and driver skill, always with the chance that something could go horribly wrong (or right).

Is this an attempt to charge more for TV coverage? I was going to say ticket sales, but, there’s this thing, see.
