"Selfish drivers doing 164mph must stop, police say"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqjvz79d079o
David Sonn, a road-traffic lawyer: "If there are no other aggravating features and a relatively clean driving licence and you are doing just over 100[mph], in my experience you may very well avoid disqualification."
It's wild how far behind North American, European, Japanese and Korean automakers are in the EV space. I submit it is *primarily* because fossil fuel interests are holding them back.
The new tech in China is stunning.
"The EVs were plugged in at 9% state of charge with 93 kilometers of range (57 miles). In 9 minutes and 51 seconds, they charged up to 97% with the range prediction in their gauge cluster displaying 1,008 kilometers (626 miles).
"The Commies” also seem to do capitalism better than "us”:
"The world’s largest EV maker saw its steepest sales plunge since the pandemic, with February sales falling 41% amid cut-throat competition in China's EV market. BYD is now hoping for a comeback by democratizing its cutting-edge new technology.”

Abandoned cars shot on 35mm and medium-format film - Part 1
Rusty old-timers lay forgotten, overgrown by the roadside and in the gardens of long-abandoned houses.

🚗🇱🇹 Rusting VAZ Lada, somewhere in Lithuania.
There were a couple of Lada 1200 (VAZ-2101) from the 1970s and 1980s, and also a lovely red Lada 1500 (VAZ-2103)!

Ugh, I'm in full-on car buying mode now, and I'd forgotten just what a bone crushingly frustrating experience it is.
Why do car manufacturers design their websites so badly? Is it so hard to tell me on a web page whether a car is a 5-door hatchback or a 4-door saloon? It's not always obvious from looking at the pictures.
And why in God's name do they not let you download a PDF brochure unless you share all your personal data with them?
Or even at all?

Hopping back to the Jaguar club lunch that kicked off my automotive Saturday: an MGA, an MG TF, and a Triumph TR3. I truly believe that MGAs are among the prettiest cars ever built.

Back to my automotive Saturday, I visited the Detroit Autorama show in the afternoon. A few things caught my eye, starting with this because every VW Bug needs a 572 cubic-inch big-block Chevy V8.

Detroit Autorama: I would trade my entire dubious automotive fleet for this Cadillac Eldorado. The offer would get me laughed out of the room.

I did not do this just to be a chaos goblin, I needed to move the #Fiat500 we use as one of our fleet #cars around the yard to check its brake drums hadn't seized again and get it ready in case a staff member needs it tomorrow, and there was already another slightly newer one parked in the yard for the repair garage next door..
We went for a wander around the vendors (there's also a bandstand) and found this amazing bus! Took the owner 1yr and 3 months to restore from nothing. Extraordinary project.
The first area was already packed so everyone was being redirected to the next area. And although rain was predicted, it was quite warm (26c) and humid. And it didn't put people off coming.
Took Harry and Haruki to a fundraiser car show on Sunday. We went to this last year, hundreds of cars turned up. The charity behind it says it's the last year as it's so big to manage, hopefully someone else takes over and continues the show and fundraising. Held in a huge park, we got there about 30 mins before official opening and it was already packed.
Everyone was intrigued with Harry and Haruki. It was also Haruki's first ever show!

The Jaguar club lunch was at Lee Jacobsen’s garage and collection in Livonia. Lee has a great collection of MGs, Jaguars, and Packards.
Here’s a Jaguar XK140 being repainted.

A pair of rare pre-WWII MGs, both with the Tickford drop top: a red MG SA and a slightly larger green MG VA to the right.
