🛣️ When a speed camera goes off on a motorway, how does it know which car was speeding? Our automotive journalism expert @AndrewNoakes answers this question and more on @BBCCWR - listen here from 1.18.47 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hlyt… 🚗

Trickle charging overnight from 13A supply. In a couple of days I'll be doing a 400-mile round trip over two days. WLTP range is 289 miles so it should cope fine, but any tips on how to tackle it from EV experts?

Sensible mix of touchscreen, rotary controller and physical buttons inside. Optional leather faces seats and dash. Rotary gearknob doesn't sink into the console when you switch off like Jag/Land Rover - instead it flips 180 degrees to reveal a crystal-like dome.

Genesis GV60 AWD Sport Plus here for a few days. Predictably filthy already. £67,505 plus Innovation Pack (LEDs/driver aids, £2810), comfort seats (£2790), Nappa leather (£2310), sunroof (£1120), B&O sound (£990), digital mirrors (? £1240) etc, total a shade under £82k.

That Lotus story has a little easter egg... Not quite on the scale of the legendary effort by @MrJamesMay back in the day but it'll amuse some Lotus nerds.

July issue of Classic Cars out at the moment has my cover story driving Lotus-fettled saloons and hatchbacks: Cortina, Sunbeam, Carlton and (surely first time for a classic mag cover) Proton. All terrific but the one that really stands out is... revealed on page 58.

Snow and ice are not the perfect surface for a rear wheel drive but the @AudiUKPress R8 is behaving very well and I have not as yet had to employ my advanced skid pan training. And the performance sport is so gorgeous looking. @MidlandMotoring @gomw_uk

Sad to hear that @gomw_uk stalwart Stuart Bladon has died. Hearing him talking about his days on Autocar in the ’60s and ’70s was always fascinating.

Replaced the company car with this, which was nearly 15 years old at the time and, predictably, fell to bits in 18 months. But it was a riot while it lasted. #AlfaRomeo
