Hi, I’m Alan.
In case you’ve missed my last 2 decades on social media, I’m a total car nerd, particularly about the Toyota Yaris, but I also cycle and enjoy hiking.
Trains, buses and public transport/transit are cool too and I think all those should be cleaner, more frequent and cheaper.

As is right and proper!

It’s true. If you get the bus from central Bern rather than the train you go straight past the stadium.

The “W” is pronounced “V”. It’s close enough that the Swiss “get it”.

Ah yes, signposted from all over the autobahn network.

Watching the newest Jet Lagged and one team just passed through (Bern) Wankdorf.
Coincidentally, it’s where Swiss Railways have some of their rather nice offices. 🙂

Plenty of stories to draw our ire and scorn this week. Equally, an enlightening item about others exploiting charger operators but also, how bad they are at meeting regulations.

Really fascinating and clever Dacia concept.

Points of Interest has a UK success story, to read about.

My favourite feature of Niels van Roij’s Corniche shooting brake is this electrically retractable cycle rack.

It slots into the centre section of a new, horseshoe-shaped fuel tank.

Tank capacity isn’t diminished – handy when you have a 6.75-litre V8 and three-speed auto ’box…

The sort of cartoon you'd expect to see from me

Cartoon showing a man reading from a dictionary to another. He says "So, it turns out confirmation bias means exactly what I expected it to mean|"

When the Legacy Turbo was new they were EVERYWHERE up here. In fact, that generation Legacy was an absolute staple across this part of Perthshire. Then IM decided to “be more premium” and consolidate dealerships, so the local garages disappeared and with it the Subaru population.

I’m glad I didn’t do what you said not to do. 😬

I’d like to make it clear that I clarified in the original post that I was talking about teabags.
Mostly because I have the same sense of humour. 😆

I’m not sure @hubnut.bsky.social would describe this as a sitcom, but the idea of one of Ian’s videos starting with, “HubNotes is filmed before a live studio audience!” makes me chuckle.
