    What have you done to your Maserati today?

    Collected the Spyder after the full re-radiation from Matt’s new tidy gaff. After a wheel nut check a smooth drive down the Meon valley to home. Glad it’s back now. Reminded by the Wee Woman to get oven chips on the way back - which I did…

    Electric Cars Still Struggling.

    The steam record is held by a British car - Inspiration. Our ‘specialist’ welder worked on the car and some of the team went on to form Steamology Motion who are now aptly based in the old boiler house on the West Dean nuclear storage site.

    Electric Cars Still Struggling.

    Nothing wrong with alternatives: finally had a good go in the R5 today - Wee Woman to Bristol airport. M4 there and twisties back - like a go cart and impressive in R5e ’sport’ (maybe an oxymoron, or is that me?)We will do 10 k in that, maybe 3k in the Spyder and some in the DS. Fortunate to...

    Pic of the day

    Oh dear, I lost an hour of my life looking at Dodge Chargers for sale, but the Wee Woman said no. Hmmm. Always preferred it over the Mustang.

    Pic of the day

    Had the dash cam fitted to the R5 and finally got around to working out the functions and saving clips. Just in time to save this for the local constabulary: crazy overtake captured perfectly.

    E fuel

    H2 and fuel cells need very clean air or another bottled gas (O2). H2 used as a fuel for ICE then solubility of the gas in the lubricant has to be an issue.

    Any horologists?

    I would open it up and which what happens at 1 and 2 - maybe something is loose or slipping which allows 2 for 1 but 2 onwards is fine.

    June 6th

    Know the Normandy area well- wife/teacher school trips to the beaches. There last year with 6 brothers. All my maternal/paternal uncles and aunts served. Took Aunt Clare over withe kids in the mid 90’s and she recalled landing at Arromanches and establishing a hospital in Bayeux. None of them...

    Ha! Reminds me of my first car - Red Mini with sliding windows and much rust - 23 RTD. Not around any more - no surprise there but the DVLA seems to have dropped the T* usage ( https://www.newreg.co.uk/dvla-number-plate-identifiers/ ) anyone know why?
