One for you @PaulCowland_ - I saw this in Leadenham ( maps.app.goo.gl/h5mRcRyfkdEk… ) near Grantham last week: despite the poor interior this actually looks quite tidy. Not much obvious rust, but does need a bit of exterior trim work, and some new wipers.

Hi @MotoringPodcast team. Last week @TimHarford released an episode of Cautionary Tales on the Air France flight 447 accident. He talks about the difficulties experienced by the crew trying to pick-up control from the automated/assisted pilot in moments of stress at short notice.

Given your ongoing discussions about automony within road vehicles and the possible similarities between the two scenarios I thought this might be of interest.
If you are not aware of it, Cautionary Tales is highly recommended.

Lovely. Tricky question is: left or right?
Who am I kidding - Brat for every day, P1 for weekend. – at Coventry, England
Whilst @unityautomotive they asked of if I’d like to see some of their ‘Heritage fleet’
My, oh, my. Hello classic @subaruuk ‘s of a Brat & Impreza P1.
LOVE.

Reveal finally here - this is what my team have been working on for the past 12 months or so. We worked hard to add extra value for the customer despite inflationary cost pressures.
Really pleased with where 400 Sport landed.
The Jaguar I-Pace electric SUV has been updated for 2023 – including the launch of a new range-topping 400 Sport model. motoringresearch.com/car-new…
Having a quick browse in @Waterstones Coventry and spotted this lovely book by @AndrewNoakes.
So many great pics and stories including of the F-TYPE driveaway from the Ricoh which I was privileged to be part of.

Took a trip up the #Christmasmarket at @FargoVillage yesterday. Managed to bag some more @Popbangcolour JLR mugs for the collection.
Open again today for some last minute crafty Christmas pressies.
Beautiful morning for the 557th Coventry Park run (@coventryparkrun) in @warmemorialpk today. I've uploaded some photos I took to the Flickr site. Do you spot yourself or anyone you know?

@100Climbs When you were researching the Yorkshire climbs book. Did you have a look at Givendale Lane? Lovely little 1,100m climb that can be extended to 4km up to the A166 (Garrowby Hill):

@CraigHughes666 This is good, and brewed just over the Menai from you. Very tasty. – at Efailnewydd, Wales

@100Climbs Hi Simon. I know you've only just released the X-list, but here's a potential for the next list: Cowdale in the Peak District, between the A6 and the A515. Strava has the gradient peaking at almost 27% 😱 around a couple of tight hairpins.

@rightmove Hey guys. I'm trying to work out where the photo at the top of your homepage was taken. It looks like West Yorkshire/Lancashire, certainly Pennines, but I can't pin it down. Can you tell me?

Well tonight was cool. Live music for the first time in ages: @badwaitressband and @gustaf_nyc at Coventry central library. Great music - and books to read between sets. I think this should catch on.
@PaulWhitewick Loving the nod to Blazing Saddles in today’s video: going through a gate with no fence in the middle of a field. Nicely done.

@coventryparkrun Lots of photos added from today's Park Run. Available now on the Flikr stream:

Hi @InstaVoltUK I charged at Booth's Ripon on Sat morning. After 2 failed attempts I tried a different charger and was successful. However, the 2 £15 pre-auth for the failed charges are still sitting on my card. I'm £30 out of pocket. Why can't you credit as quickly as you debit?

Great turnout by some very hardy and colourfully dressed participants for @coventryparkrun this morning despite the freezing, but beautiful conditions.
Oh hello! I like the blue BRZ. 😉
The @NissanUK & @subaruuk #ContinuousCar poster collection selection - any favourites? 🚗+✍🏻

Well done to all the runners, but particularly the volunteers, who came out to support @coventryparkrun in freezing blizzard conditions this morning. My 50th (unofficial) @parkrunUK so far.
