Another gem in the Tuscan hills. Cosy (furnished!) house, pool, large garden with a fantastic view. And a big

Utterly charming little cottage, deep in the southern Swedish countryside, very close to a big lake.

I love how when you attempt to drill a hole in a wall in a British house, you never know what's going to be behind it. Brick? Wood? Air? 4" thick steel? It's anybody's guess. To add to the fun, it's guaranteed to be a different material than it was 12" to the right.

Okay, you've asked for it, and some of you have guessed it already. My new car is an E60 530i.
It's not the best picture, but with the weather forecast this week, I'm not going to get one.
So, why did I buy this car?

I saw a guy cleaning his street-parked Abarth 595 Competizione today, and when he stepped back to look at it, his face just lit up with pure joy and delight.

The secret to driving in Italy is to drive like an Italian. It is, perhaps oddly, far more relaxing to drive aggressively surrounded by people driving aggressively than it is to drive normally surrounded by such drivers.

I know it's just a car, but I'm sad. I genuinely loved this thing.
Alas, all good things must come to an end. It would have been nice if it ended closer to home, but if nothing else, I guess I’ve got a good breakdown story now.

Granted, I'm not a Land Rover man. But surely this wheel and tyre combination is rather at odds with the purpose of a Defender?

I cannot believe how many drivers make no effort to reach the speed limit by the end of the slip road. But this is just madness.
This is my worst hate of trucking !!!
Evo on the slip road no problem, I’ve seen him!
Get ye foot down a touch and hit the highway !
Why ye slowing down , I can’t pull over and I won’t !
Oh well missed ye chance ! But oh wait comes in front and plays Barry big bollocks 😡

This is the strangest car I have owned. Never really liked it. I've kept it because it's cost me almost nothing, and just keeps working. Sitting in the background, ready when I need it.
But every time I do something to it, it gets better. And now I think I may actually like it.

It's just a game to them, isn't it?

Needed a confidence boost with the E39, and this has done it. Look at how that's come up. Needs a bit more work to deal with some hazing and light scratches, but for a first go, wow.

Hot take: There are no best new cars for new drivers. A first car should be something used that the driver works hard and saves and pays for themselves, and learns to look after by themselves.
Just passed your test? Or looking to buy a first car for your loved one? We round up the best new cars for new drivers - that won't break the bank of mum and dad

We have had to lay Larry to rest in a small village just off the A6 between Lyon and Dijon.

- Open bonnet.
- Rain starts falling.
- Immediately lose tiny part.
- Find out it costs £12 to replace.
- Destroy knuckles attempting to find it.
- Slam bonnet and regret all life choices.

...a category that should never even be considered, because the primary function of an EV should be A-to-B transportation for people who treat cars as appliances and who therefore cannot be trusted to handle vehicles with sub-8 second 0-60 times.

Took a leap forward in home mechanic skills today. New battery for the E60 had to be registered in the ECU (and in this case coded – long story). Booted up my ancient Windows laptop, got INPA and NCS Expert running, and in ten minutes had it all sorted.
