It’s Saturday - and that means video day!
In our latest deep dive, we’re exploring how the Triumph TR7 was blunted by its marketing.

BMW used to build cars that looked like this.
BMW has revealed the XM Label Red with 738bhp, 738lb ft and a £170,860 price tag 🔥 Thoughts on the design, though? 🤔

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, BMW replaces their best looking car with… this.
Clumsily proportioned, awfully detailed.
It makes the E60 look beautiful, and that’s some effort.

This cyclist has approached a van at an oblique angle. The van is already turning, and is clearly unaware the cyclist is there, yet the cyclist continues and forces a collision.
Incredible behaviour.

Best customer service experience from Tesla!
- App notified me to change air filter after two years
- I request service via app
- I receive quote next minute
- I approve the quote via app
- I book Tesla service for 31st Jan
- Engineer arrives home
- Done in 10 mins, only cost £77

The number of cyclists bending over backwards trying to defend the indefensible is shocking.
Righteousness will get you killed. As the law requires, get yourself a set of lights, and at least have a reflective band as well.

The Mk1 MG Metro is, objectively, the coolest hot hatch of all time.
This is a hill I will die on.

Possibly the most stylish hot hatch ever made, with one of the best engines of all time, and one of the best badges of all time.
But stir these things together, and we descend towards lunacy. What a spectacularly cool car.

When Rover launched the totally re-engineered Metro in May 1990, the public collectively shrugged. As far as they were concerned, this was just a facelift of the 1980-vintage and rapidly ageing supermini built by Britain’s newly privatised volume car maker. (1/9)

And absolutely no one was surprised.
The average, I repeat *average* premium offered to 17-year-olds is reported to be £3496.
Motoring will become the preserve of the ultra-wealthy if nothing is done.
More young people are driving without car insurance as their premiums reach a record high, with those living in London paying the most

Have to RT this again because I just do not understand those complaining about ‘blandness’.

The MG B GT is a terribly underrated shape. If they weren’t so common, I think the consensus would be that this is one of the prettiest sports cars ever made.
Been really using the GT quite a bit this week, the engine does feel reliable and strong, she's done almost 2k miles since rebuild. All glitches are ironed out.

Make cars small again.
This Peugeot 205 Rallye weighs just 794kg which meant that it can do with a 1.3 litre engine with 102hp/76kW.
The very few small hot hatches still on the market today weigh in excess of 1,200kg.
Will we never again produce regular cars this light?

Went to a Honda dealer to look at the new Civic today. It’s very cool. I really like it.
But my experience wasn’t improved by the salesperson trying to tell me that it “doesn’t have a gearbox” because it’s Hybrid.
I asked if it was a CVT, and she said no.
Reader, it’s a CVT 🤣

My car cost £1250, five years ago.
It’s covered 22k miles in that time, and is now worth about £2k.
Car Wow offer Model 3 leases from £435 p/m. Over the time I’ve had my car, that would total nearly £25k.
Having a Model 3 would therefore have put me £27k down before fuel.
How do owners afford to run ICE cars at this price 🤷🏻♂️
If I charge at home that £1.69 is the best part of 135 miles range 🤔

A small car that weighs over 1000kg is an engineering failure.
Make cars small again.
More than 30 cm in length and almost 300 kg in weight separate the first generation

In 2006, Top Gear drove three supercars to the south of France - a Ford GT, a Zonda F, and a Ferrari 430.
Many 6-yr-olds would have chosen the thunderous striped Ford or the simply bonkers Pagani, but I fell for the beauty of James’ blue Ferrari.
