In Ireland.... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1136885426470663&id=444741115685101

Yikes, I just noticed that my car has slipped out of my RAC Comprehensive Breakdown Cover - which I have through my bank account - their small print excludes European cover for vehicles over 11 years. It looks like I'll have to find some sort of classic cover for European trips. Any suggestions?

Yesterday I was plodding along the A11 from Nantes to Paris. Cruise control set at 130 kph. In the mirror I saw a Levante closing on me at serious speed. I was in lane 2 overtaking slower traffic in lane 1, he came up closely behind me before moving to 3 to sweep past me at speed. He rocketed...

And the beautiful QP passed with flying colours, no advisories, everything in top shape the man said. Always nice to know

I really enjoyed this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh8oj-w4vyU A car I've always hankered owning. Maybe one day.

If you haven't already received Adrian Newey's autobiography for Christmas, you should buy it now. https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Build-Car-Autobiography-Greatest-ebook/dp/B073TS2ZWN/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1518036255&sr=1-1&keywords=adrian+newey+how+to+build+a+car I couldn't put it down...

On my previous cars, whenever I was parking them on a car ferry, I was able to lock the car without activating the alarm simply by using the key in the door, rather than the remote fob. On the QP I see this doesn't work and I return to see the red LEDs on the doors blinking away - which I...

What's the easiest fix you've done? I mean, apart from ignoring some bizarre error message which subsequently went away? I had a brake light fail warning yesterday. I was dreading what dismantling of the boot lining and light cluster might be ahead of me but was pleasantly surprised so see...

I've just bought Mario Muth's new film, released last night, about the epic 1983 season between Senna and Brundle for the British Formula 3 championship. I've wanted to see a documentary on this season for years. Now I'm looking forward to some me time to savour it. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/svsb

From Harry Metcalfe today:- Does that really say EUR €441,040?

If anyone fancies a wee cycle ride. http://humanrace.co.uk/event/tour-de-yorkshire-ride/

I was doing a spot of clearing out today and stumbled across a folder full of clippings I'd kept about the SZ. I particularly liked the late Russell Bulgin's work and enjoyed this article, here's a scan for you SZ lovers:-...

My motorbike has just had its annual service and MoT. My mechanic, Alec, had to change the relatively new battery because several cells had run dry - my fault for not checking. Alec said he often sees this when customers use battery conditioners because they dry out the cells. So I immediately...

Apologies for linking a Daily Wail article. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3141423/What-happens-carry-tin-paint-Maserati-insurance-write-expensive-payout-90-000.html

First time for me but I see others have had plenty of parking sensor niggles. I picked the car up from McGraths on Friday after its annual - no faults, no advisories, just a nice simple service - when I hopped in to drive off I got the "parking sensor failure" error. No better place to be...

Enjoy the test driving on public roads. Man, look at those overtakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GZ31wny-Os&feature=youtu.be

My bella passed her MoT this week. There was nothing wrong, and no reason to suspect there might be a problem, but it was still a nice little pleasure when the tester told me everything was perfect. The only thing he did tell me to do was to drive the car more. Yes, sir :) I can't believe...
