It’s about time I introduced myself again. I’m James, an illustrator, designer and writer from the UK.

My obsessions are cars, my dog Winnie and sci-fi. I’m currently working on a new sci-fi IP.

You can see my nonsense at mrjalco.co.uk or www.youtube.com/@MostlyAboutDriving

Cheers!

Good news!
After yesterday's post about the struggles with the E12, I'm happy to say that I have now a date set to have it welded and it should be ready next weekend. Also, the windscreen company called me today to inform they found a glass for my car and are ready to fit it in a couple of weeks!

Just spent a fun couple of hours with my pal @breninstu.bsky.social

We fixed Ruby’s airbag light issue and then he took me out for a run in his caged, harnessed and very much ready for hill climbs NA MX-5.

It’s… rapid. Really quite rapid.

Not a wet belt, plenty of poke for what it is and loads of kit. Bit of a no brainer.

Apparently I have to pay nearly £100 for a Covid vaccine now, as they’ve removed entitlement for households of anyone immunocompromised.

So that’s nice.

New car has sailed through its MOT. Will be collecting it tomorrow.

Excited.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

That’s daft. You’d think they’d use whatever supplier has the stock.

Might be worth speaking to @upndown.bsky.social - I bet he’d take the bodywork on.
