Oh almost certainly. It's one for the dream museum.

Don't wish to cause too much alarm but the Rodius funds are on their way and I've just found a BLOODY TATA SAFARI for sale! I mean, is it destiny? Autocar once described it as 'Indian - take it away.'

I've only got eyes for the diesel...

Ian @hubnut.bsky.social · 9h

Yup. Asked to test it when he finishes it many years ago!

My first time in a six-cylinder Rover SD1! 2300S with Triumph's final engine. Great day at work! youtu.be/JjGoxo-zO7E

Triumph's final engine, in a Rover? SD1 2300S automatic is so HubNut!

The LDs were just too naive. Tories knew tuition fees would kill them and forced the issue. And people entirely fell for it, leaving the Tories to inflict their austerity nonsense on us all.

The next week is busier than ever and includes another working roadtrip. It'll be reet.

Lots of people telling me to take a break but that seems a bit unfair when Miss HubNut is working so hard. Also can't really take a break while parenting. You still have to parent.

Not quite what I was aiming for! Thanks YouTube. The video is now live on HubNotes.

Alan Bradley @ajpbradley.bsky.social · 1d

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.

One of them immediately became filthy again. I've now washed it twice in one day FFS. Rural life!

Kemi asked how her first year has gone, ignores the question and just spouts nonsense promises. No wonder people get sick of politicians.

In truth, we don't need such practicality that often. It's usually just one or two of us and not much stuff.

I can't get comfortable in it though. Not sure if it's just me. More than half an hour and I'm in agony! It's way too ponderous and big for Welsh roads too. Makes my AU feel like a Mini.

Cleaned and ready to go. Have enjoyed this one but we do not need anything this enormous really. Well, not until the end of the university year...

Yup. UK housing really was never developed with car charging in mind. I could charge at the unit but given my electricity is included, my landlord may not be amused!

There's a window in the tailgate itself which helps with visibility. Assuming you don't have too much in the boot...

I think that sadly, Amperas and Volts remain out of reach. Suspect the fact I can't home charge would render one quite annoying in all seriousness. Chevrolet were so far ahead of the game - a plug-in hybrid before the name had really been coined. Now they're all the rage.

That requires that planning stuff. I'm apparently not very good at it...

There isn't much I like in McDonalds, but the milkshakes have historically been one. Now they seem thicker than ever while the straws are flimsier than ever. I note the solution seems to be to give you four straws, which you will need, rather than soften the mixture. Hmm... Saving the planet?

Left a Hublet at Uni on a rather turbulent day for travel. Rewarded with a Previa spot on the way home. Weather was generally horrendous!

All comfortably way beyond my budget. (Thanks for the gift by the way!)
