@norramot Could not have put it better myself - one of the reasons becoming Chair of a model car museum has been one of the better things to happen to me in recent times…

Why do I collect diecast models so wholeheartedly? Well, it’s a tangible collection of road and race cars, which I can only ever dream to own in 1/64 form. More simply than that, it brings me joy. And we should all embrace the little things that do that.

Enjoyed watching #F1 this season, which a few years ago I couldn't imagine saying. Big part of it, the @SkySportsF1 coverage - so deeply embedded, across every aspect. For me who’s been on the inside of a significant series, it's like being part of it while watching it on TV...

Nothing is more stupid in F1 than the creeping out of the pit lane - ought to be a minimum speed as well as a max… #f1

Just to let any followers know with increasing concerns over this platform I’m now on Bluesky - just search for Shortaxle.

@ShortAxle @alexgrantuk Be careful, Mr Charman. Barely any room left between the floor and ceiling now due to my Hot Wheels habit!

In danger of falling for this trait that obsesses the likes of @norramot and @alexgrantuk - especially if it gets me an MX-5! Just add water?

Best wishes for a long and happy retirement to @DavidWilsonTRD – only dealt with him directly once, seven years ago now when I did the feature on the new Toyota Cup car for @RaceTechmag – like just about everyone I've encountered in @NASCAR he was hugely helpful.

Plenty of sensible cars to drive @SMMT North but sometimes you need some time in a proper one…

Yesterday Brooklands and today the other way for @SMMT Norrth. Good to see these here but sad that some big names aren’t, especially with all the current cars I still haven’t driven since taking on my new role…

@YTimesMotoring He’s right I’m afraid - far too many mags on the used market with little value. He could donate to his nearest heritage railway - the books especially might bring in some funds.
