Wondering if I could some how rig up a pipe from my EV into the house and whack on the air con. That or I go and sit in the car in my drive. Maybe sleep it in.

I have just seen a picture of a 1st gen Nissan Leaf that’s been converted into a Hearse and I needed to share it with #WeirdCarBS. Glass side, B-Pillar and all passenger seats removed. What a way to go.

I'm wondering if I've discovered the reason for the power loss at higher revs and the mysterious backfire after seeing another TR7 Seems my TR7 is missing all the pipework for the air intake temperature control system All these symptoms are mentioned in that systems fault finding page #WeirdCarBS

Sadly I wasn’t able to park the TR7 next to it. I’m not ashamed to say it, I love a lambo. Just bloody bonkers. #CarBluesky

A fantastic #WeirdCarBs thread. Sooz, come back to cars. 90s shit boxes are cool again, all that knowledge would go down a storm at the local car meet.

Went to the local TR owners club monthly meet tonight for the first time with the TR7. Was too busy chatting cars to folks to take any pictures. Was excellent. Well I did take pictures of the other TR7 that was there as his engine had some extra pipes that mine doesn’t. So puzzle for the morning.

No YOU just wrote Javascript that replaces the word "walk" with "wank" because you're procrastinating again

Thanks to POLITICO Pro Morning Technology UK for asking me to respond their weekly Q&A for the Friday 13th(!) edition. As they put it in the newsletter intro, "AI academic Dan McQuillan has some… strong feelings about the U.K.’s AI strategy". danmcquillan.org/mtuk_q_and_a...
