And then at the same time they reveal the Speedtop, an utterly gorgeous 3dr Shooting Brake based on the M8 Comp. And you’ll be able to buy it.

I really can’t understand how so many are gushing over this. It’s utterly bland, generic front end, awful rear end and phoned-in Zagato roof humps. A rival to the Conti GT?! In their dreams! Sure they’ll sell a few to BMW collectors, but it’s a huge miss for me.

You’d have to REALLY want the ugly BMW wouldn’t you? PTS, Clubsport, Ceramics, PDK Cayman GT4 with 269 miles for the same money (and probably less monthly).

Okay, official stats - 523bhp. That’s A LOT. That’s M3 power! For the first time they aren’t holding it back - also 30kg lighter than the std M2. That’s going to be an animal. DCT only though, which is a shame.

In Lakeside shopping centre and there’s an actual human turd on the floor. Someone has walked through, next to Starbucks and just dropped a fruity log on the floor. What, and I can’t stress this highly enough, the actual fuck.

Love this new green on the Defender, looks bloody lovely with the white not-steelies and tan interior 😁 The new optional 22” alloys are bloody awful though 😂

This week is Proper Engineering week 😁 Assembling three machines I designed that have been 2yrs in development, using awesomely precise CNC’d parts. (First one worked first time, btw 😇)

Anyone else just.. meh? It’s a one-off, display car for things like Goodwood. Utterly meaningless. Give us an F80/W1 rival already!

If you’ve considered watching Murderbot on Apple+ - don’t. Not because it’s crap, but because it’s brilliant and the episodes are only 25mins long and are on weekly drop. So you’ll watch the first four like me, then get a little 25min fix and have to wait a whole week. Just wait
