Night drive in the PII Continental: always a treat.

Incredible news. Overnight the Chagossians have returned to their homeland on the Chagos Islands. They are now British passport holders on British territory. I wish them well.

The inventor of auto-correct has died. His funnel is tomato.

Chagossians deserve the same rights as Greenlanders @Keir_Starmer

Starmer says the UK will pursue the matter with the US administration and adds that the position of Greenland is "a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes" But yet he is selling off the Chagos Islands and selling out the Chagossians to Mauritius without giving them any say.

I just got off the Bridger Gondola. I need a shower and an exorcism. I loaded up solo. The liftie packs me into a cabin with seven strangers. It’s intimate. Too intimate. To my left: A family of five from Florida. Dad is wearing jeans. Mom is wearing a fur coat that costs more than my truck. The three kids are screaming and hitting each other with poles. To my right: A guy who looks like he’s been living in a snow cave since 1998. Duct tape on his jacket, beard full of ice, smells like a wet dog. We get about halfway up, hanging over the steeps. Suddenly, the gondola stops. Wind hold. We are swinging back and forth like a pendulum in a hurricane. The Florida Mom starts hyperventilating. "We're going to die! Robert, do something!" Robert, the dad, stands up, which rocks the cabin even more and starts banging on the glass. "I am a Platinum Pass holder! Get this thing moving!" Then, the caveman to my right decides this is the perfect time for lunch. He unzips his jacket. He pulls out a Tupperware container. It is Tuna Salad. Warm, backpack-temperature Tuna Salad. And hard-boiled eggs. He cracks the lid. The smell is rancid. In a sealed 6x6 glass box. While we are swinging. One of the Florida kids immediately throws up on his brother’s boots. The Mom starts screaming. The Dad is trying to call 911 but has no service. The Caveman is just happily shoveling tuna into his mouth with a plastic spoon, offering me a bite. "Protein, bro," he says. We were stuck there for 20 minutes. I didn't even take my skis out when we got to the top. I just ran to the lodge to breathe filtered air. I’m currently hiding in the bathroom. I can still smell the eggs.

Hi @ListerLawrence I thought that I’d let you know what great service I just got from Warrantywise: your chap Cameron was outstanding. (I took 3 year policy on wife’s C300e - being our first electric car I thought that I would for once cover myself.) Well done for great service.

Parked Hanibal and now a younger stablemate has arrived. Hopefully they might breed. @autopap, @Lease4wheels @ListerLawrence

Possibly my favourite Grauniad correction of all time!

Our challenge to @LabourOxon : bring forward proposals to February's county council meeting to scrap the traffic filters. There's now a majority of councillors against the scheme, and you can over-rule the current council leadership. Feel free to use this suggested wording.

🚨STOLEN!! PLEASE SHARE!!🚨 As you may have seen, @peter_grunert (who is one of the loveliest people you could hope to meet) has had his lovely LHD, non sunroof, 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 stolen from London on 20/11/24 It costs nothing to share one of the many posts about it. Let's get it found!

It was somehow a day for a tall car! 😬 @AutoPap @LUDENClassics @ListerLawrence @Lease4wheels @alastairfrance

Pegasus had a bit of a bath today! 😬 @AutoPap @LUDENClassics @ListerLawrence @alastairfrance

At last some decent weather - Pegasus came out to play! @AutoPap @ListerLawrence @Lease4wheels @alastairfrance

A brilliant week with the PII Continental in Cornwall: about 600 miles of driving in 3 days - not bad for a mere 93 years old car! @alastairfrance @AutoPap @ListerLawrence @Lease4wheels

Off for a fun day of adventure … and at last the weather is good! @AutoPap @LUDENClassics @ListerLawrence @alastairfrance

PII about again today. @ListerLawrence @Lease4wheels @alastairfrance

Took the PII Continental for a good run today, he was very glad for his albeit temporary break from hibernation!

Enjoying the last few days of mostly sensible weather before the PII hibernates for the winter. @AutoPap, @Lease4wheels, @ListerLawrence @alastairfrance

A fabulous day to cruise over the downs in the PII. However, global oil price will probably now gently rise! 😱 @AutoPap @LUDENClassics @Lease4wheels @ListerLawrence @alastairfrance
