After 27 years of driving, I got my first ever speeding fine last week. Did a speed awareness course today, and if you find yourself in that situation I’d highly recommend taking it - very informative and gives you lots to think about.

It would be nice if the electric mirrors unfolded every time I unlock it like they’re supposed to, rather than only doing it sometimes so I have to sit there repeatedly locking and unlocking it until it remembers. I really want to love this car, but it’s not making it easy.

There’s a lot to love about the Grande Panda, and on the whole I’m a big fan. But you can’t escape the fact that some elements of the interior are very cheap. Look, this button has come loose and lost itself inside the dash. This is a 26-plate car with 2000 miles on the clock.

My deep and emotional yearning for a Type 940 Giulietta has been further stoked today by my father-in-law giving me all the books and spec sheets from when he bought his. 🫶🏼 When funds allow for a Copacetic project car, it’ll be one of these.

The new Stones album has a cover of Amy Winehouse’s best song, You Know I’m No Good, and Mick pronounces ‘chips in pitta’ like ‘chips in Peter’. Which, given that the following line is ‘I’m not bitter’, kinda throws off the rhyme.
