Alfa 166 rear seat. Came with an interior I bought for the front seats but it’s absolutely spotless…would make a lovely sofa I think, who agrees?
Those are some crusty brake lines for a 5 year old car…

Interesting post about a sealion pup…
This hurts to write (let’s call it tough love), but I believe that in full transparency, in advocating for EVs one must also acknowledge the downsides. My company leases a BYD Sealion (and other EV’s on the fleet) - on paper, it’s great value for money. A Chinese car @BYDCompany leased via @santanderuk But then we had an issue with a door harness - took the car to Hartwell Bracknell; they can’t fix the car - it’s been off the road 71 days chasing faults around the car. Santander don’t want to answer the phone (2.5hrs on hold today) and BYD are unhelpful with a car that has a seemly a catastrophic fault.
The cars a lemon (and frankly so are the leasing company and the dealer), the question really is, are all their cars lemons or is this a one-off?
Clearly BYD aren’t ready for scale in U.K. and don’t have the dealer back up you’d expect of a mass brand - so as much as I advocate for low cost EVs, my advice at least in the short term, is steer clear of the BYD! The same might be said of Santander leases and Hartwell dealers!
I will of course update you on any progress!
The dry sump V8 at its heart is very cool…
This is a bit tasty - a true 1of1 McLaren 650S Le Mans. The rest of the 50 cars were all Le Sarthe Grey apart from this one made for a very special customer.

I don’t get this… EV’s are supposed to stand on there own merits, indeed EV advocates often mock people who like ICE vehicles who are apparently obsessed with “Brrrmm brmm” noises…yet here we are….
