You know the rules

Holidays! Travel Monkey is all set, so it's time to find out just how good a family car the @KiaUKPR EV9 is.

Spent a fascinating morning watching the new Ford Explorer (and something else) being put together at the refitted factory in Cologne. Typically, had to leave just before the first production car was due to roll off the line

Today I will mostly be Grumpy Motor Man with a Van. A very green van

Right, before I try to deal with the horror of Marketplace or Gumtree, does anyone I know want an old, cheap Japanese motor? I can do you a scruffy SUV or slightly less scruffy supermini. CR-V is Mot'd til Sept, Yaris til Dec.

Spent quite a lot of time in the @jaguar I-Pace this past week. Middling efficiency and relatively slow charging aside, it's surprising how fresh this 6-year-old design still feels. Proper words coming soon on @EVPowered

Well this feels naughty!

First look at the new Polestar Space in Glasgow, and the new Polestar 3. Then a quick visit to Bridge of Weir to hear about their sustainability efforts and Polestar leather. Oh, and some driving of the 2024 Polestar 2 Performance Pack, which is quite punchy

Out with @PolestarCars today. First stop the new Polestar Space in Glasgow. It's the brand's 7th dedicated space and its first in Scotland.

Dropped off the new toy for some fettling this morning. It's in some good company. (Terrible pic but I was enraptured by the M635)

Yup, they're all just shades of tumble dryer. No variety at all...

Rear legroom in the @BMW_UK i7 is sufficient.

It's Friday, it must be Fiat. Out testing the new @FIAT_UK 600e today. Driving impressions are embargoed but I can confirm it's a lot more compact than the pics make it look

I like this one better

Between acquiring new cars and some press car overlap, I'm currently very unpopular with our neighbours.

Yup, it me.
