Sad to hear that Chris Rea didn’t make it home for Xmas this year. He was a true car guy. Who else could have written a love song to a Ferrari?

In the shadow of the terrible massacre of Jews celebrating Chanukah in Sydney today it is more important than ever to stand proud and be the light.

AI generates so much rubbish. I miss the old days like this when an actual professional photographer would take a photo of someone looking at a Porsche’s engine while holding an expensive weekend bag

If you spin off where there are yellow flags and a car already in the barrier you deserve a penalty that affects your next race

I’m not sure that this café, “Fournos”, put enough thought into how it looks when you submit your expense receipts.
For the non-Hebrew readers suffice it to say that we don’t have different letters for F and P and first time this showed up on a credit card statement I was a little shocked

Has F1 considered developing a special “rain tyre”? They could bring maybe 3 sets to every race for every car so that when it rains the cars can still go out.
Just a thought.

Spa is always affected by rain so why don’t they hold the race in the middle of summer?

Saw the #F1 movie and really quite enjoyed it. If you accept the basic premise that a 60yr old driver who wasn’t even successful in the 90s could jump into a modern F1 backmarker and be competitive then all the other belief-suspending details are just that, details

Bought a couple of these postcard prints by Guillaume Lopez when I was at Le Mans. Really wanted his larger and very beautiful cutaways of the Alfa Giulia GT and Lotus 49 but they were too big to take home. These postcards will frame together nicely though. When you know, you know

Now that I’m no longer there I can say that I was at Le Mans over the weekend. Can’t get home because the Israeli skies are closed and it’s very difficult being away from most of my family while they’re sheltering from Iranian missiles but this is our lives now. Le Mans was great though…

I saw Brian Wilson play near Tel Aviv, 9yrs ago almost to the day. It was one of the most moving, poignant shows I’ve ever been to as he performed the whole of Pet Sounds after all that he had struggled with since first recording it. He was a true musical genius. We’ll miss him. Good Vibrations
