Its time to sell my 2007 Corvette C6. Its a very rare 6 Speed manual and has the Z06 wide body, wheels and brakes fitted.
Its also one of the best sounding cars I've ever owned.
I've been all over France in it and did the NC500 in it in April. Its a proper old school Vette.
It was serviced and MOT'd with no advisories in March.
Ready to enjoy this summer. 81k miles, £26,950

RIP Sir Ralph Robins (far right alongside Frank Shrontz of Boeing & Lord King) who, among other achievements, took R-R's share of global civil aviation from 7% to 30%

Shall we assume that Lancia is delighted at all the coverage the Luce is receiving today? (new Gamma is at least designed and made in Italy).

most GenZ thing a CEO has ever said:
“We had an HR team, and that HR team was creating problems that didn’t exist. Those problems disappeared when I let them go.”

JUST IN: Bolt CEO Ryan Breslow fired the company’s entire HR team because they were “creating problems that didn’t exist.”

Another MOT successfully passed. God knows how, because he has done 100 miles in the last 12 months. I am now off to bandage what remains of my fingers.

Now that’s how you run an airline.
Ryanair FY26 Results = €2.26BN profit after tax ( 40% vs FY25)
✈️ Traffic up 4% to record 208M
✈️ Rev. per pax up 7%
✈️ Earnings insulated; cost advantage reinforced with 80% of FY27 jet fuel hedged at $67/bbl.

As Boeing marks the 31st anniversary of the first 777 delivery, Alan Mulally, the leader of the original aircraft development project has teamed up with aviation author Dan Dornseif to produce a definitive and fascinating history of the jetliner’s story. schifferbooks.com/products/b…

Ok @SimonCarGuy, it's not an S8 but near enough (there's always an aviation angle) #AudiV8

That’s a shame. I was hoping for XJ.

As I predicted 18 months ago (not a hard guess!) the new all-electric Jaguar will be called the Jaguar Type 01. But I can’t look at the pic and not think it looks a bit crooked!

Serious question: what to do about Aston Martin? Sustained success has now eluded it for 113yrs. What would you do?
@tom550993 @ludenclassics @danpitt33 @gj_moss @LobAllan @OctaneMark @AdrianFClarke @TimOldland @SimonCarGuy @markchristie @ListerLawrence @GPOnyx
Ferrari beats its closest rivals by far. And not only in sales! The numbers speak for themselves.

Super-tax on private jets will, of course, alleviate a jet fuel shortage 🙄 PJs use just 2% of total jet fuel consumed.

Jet fuel. Don't panic. But of these options to conserve fuel for important holiday/family flights, which do you prefer:
Cancel many domestic flights within Great Britain, put people on trains instead.
Super-tax private jets.
Ground government planes. Make ministers fly commercial

What a shame…it’s basically a Chinese Lexus wannabe. I had high hopes for this. And it has the hideous front end that ruins the Ypsilon.

Ça pourrait être la Lancia Gamma selon le média italien alVolante.
Qu’en pensez vous ?

I recently talked to a wise friend of mine, who is annoyingly insightful on a number of topics, including struggling European sports and luxury manufactures.
The topic was - who will make it and who will die.

I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but that front end completely ruins actually a rather good car…especially the interior.

Yesterday in Milan, Lancia introduced the New Ypsilon Turbo 100, a petrol engine with manual transmission.
With CEO Roberta Zerbi, Sara Conti & Nicolò Macii, and Chiara Riva.
A new way to drive.
A story of control, precision and choice.
