Inspired by @guywalters.bsky.social latest book (Stealing Hitler’s Rocket), I rode to Blizna today - home to V2 testing from late 1943. Brilliant little museum featuring cursed SS crockery

My husband is obsessed with World War Two so his idea of sexting usually involves WW2 somehow- his most recent one; 'I can't wait to send my panzers through your Ardennes.' I love him but his flirting is terrible. IT'S A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

Turbocharged Nissan Juke with a diff. Remember the RS being surprisingly fun when I drove one 11 years ago… they're down to about £10k now. Would you do it?

The final part of my off-road wobble around Brittany (and the Loire) landed tonight if you want 40 minutes of scenery and pastry chat: youtu.be/zjc1No18HnY

Ludicrous!
Just watched @timrodie.bsky.social review of the Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 again.
With a £1,500 deposit they're £25 a month now on PCP.
Now, I'm not a fan of PCP - but £25 a month?!

Boo, this makes me a bit sad. The Touareg is such a lovely thing (and exceptionally depreciationy). ID.5 can go swivel though. www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new...

Mild customer service rant: Ordered a new washing machine from Currys. It's being delivered today. Since I ordered it last week it's dropped £200… but they can't refund the difference. So I have to reject the delivery, then re-order it. Seems a bit inefficient and mad?

@timrodie.bsky.social's rather good review has done nothing to quell my desire for a Husquvarna 801.
Just a shame that I STILL can't get hold of my local dealer: even the dealer principal doesn't return emails - and no one answers the phone or returns voicemails.
All v odd.

Your hot hatch is only cool if it has a water tank in the boot so it can spray a cooling salve into the intercooler when you’re ragging it. Updated GR Yaris really has GT3RS levels of competition specialness. #gryaris
