      @Giles:

      Recently changed cars.  We got a Diesel Hybrid Merc E class estate. Thing goes like shit of a shovel.

      Nice, I was looking at a very similar car this week, was a C class though. I'm yet to pull the trigger though as I would really like the equivalent Jag!

            Neither actual nor dream, but very cool. The first Subie sold in the states, rear-motorcycle-engined, and to my eye a charming cross between a Mini and a Beetle.

              Such a beautiful specimen I had to share.

                Talking about cardiologist…Damn that’s nice.  However, I show that to Laura and I’ll need a proctologist to remove her foot from me.  😃

                            The new Batmobile has been testing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

                            OK, it's the McMurtry Speirling, an electric car with additional downforce provided by a fan. It's just cut two seconds off the record for the hill climb at Goodwood.

                              Purchased one of my dream cars last week: 2022 4Runner 4wd. It's Army Green and absolutely spectacular.

                              Weird dream car I guess but a neighbor of mine had one when I was growing up and I always thought the rear window glass being retractable was so very cool. In fact, his was green as well. Kinda cool coincidence I suppose.

                                          I like the 4Runner! So you will keep it species-appropriate in all kinds of terrain. You plan on Overlanding?

                                            Thank you! Going to take it out this weekend to a dark sky park and the following week to some fire trails to kick it off. I will probably need some more aggressive tires fairly soon and more light. But she’s ready to go!

                                            We won’t talk about how I nearly put it in 4lo in the bank parking lot. Only 4wd I’ve driven before was a quadratrac Jeep.
