Touch screens in cars should be legislated out of existence. They are more dangerous than phones.

Yep, ridiculous.

I was on the Cornish lanes this evening (cycling) and passed a few VW Ups. They are fantasticall small by today's standards, because a Polo is now the size of a Passat.
I had a strange fantasy about thrashing the shit out of a 1L engine like I did with my Metro, and maintaining speed around every turn because it was such a bastard to get that speed back.
How is it we ended up with 1.8 ton, 200 hp and a centre of mass around waist height being the baseline?

Thrashing it in a 1l isn’t all that tbh - I was that bloke testing the limits of the grip around corners to maintain speed like I’m in a go kart.
All that happens is you come up to the bumper of some nervous mum in some 250bhp SUV who does 40 down the slip road and then blasts it once they get in lane, leaving you well in the lurch.

Quite possibly, although if the current one is still running OK I may keep it for another few years after that.

Nice job. It'll look lovely when some Sahara-sand rain has christened it.

Must say that I like that.

Porsche 944 Turbo S2. Very expensive respray done by a company called Augment engineering (who I know and I may be buying one of their specialist cams off). It's a small world 944 ownership in the UK.
I drove a Turbo in Glasgow yesterday. Identical to the above except it is in Champagne colour and heavily modified (internally). Didn't have that 80's turbo lag with a more modern Turbo but it was a risk taking it for a drive because if it really grabbed me...

Nice colour, good to see one not in the usual bright red.

That's 'Guards red'. Nice on a 944.

Prefer the deeper red myself. But that is irrelevant to any owner.

Reminds me of my first proper road bike. Black cherry I think Kinesis called it. I still have a tiny bottle of the paint cos Dom Mason kindly sent me some when I ham-fistedly managed to chip the chainstay in the first week of ownership...
