@robhalloway @MBWorldUK @MercedesBenz @MercedesAMG @MercedesBenzUK @MB_Museum Bravo! Fantastic effort and one the team will not forget I'm sure ...

What a wild wonderful day at Mercedes-Benz World. We brought all our cars up from Goodwood to show hundreds of guests and customers some unexpected track action. I’m so very grateful to and proud of my whole team. We pitched the idea at around 11pm, and by 7am everything was in place. Everyone jumped in. We put on a great show, rustled up some fabulous hospitality, and our guests, VIPs and customers saw the very best of Mercedes-Benz. Seeing the Sauber-Mercedes C9 lapping our customers in C63s was brilliant. Seeing the team pull together was joyous. If you came along today to join in, or were surprised by what you saw, thank you. Back to Goodwood tonight and m’colleagues will be on track with these tomorrow.

@macguitar Believe like many things it indicates the toxicity to its predators, don't believe we have greys in UK ...

I’ve never seen a GRAY ladybug before!!??

@ScarbsTech Ah, a Midas, that'll be entertaining ...

I've also bought a project car. There was a @scarbstech reflection tempting me to buy it! Its not arriving at the ST Engineering Centre until tomorrow, will tweet more about then.

@Bookishcrick Best of luck!

Finally ready to welcome new customers and friends into Bookish Abergavenny tomorrow from 9am!

@Bookishcrick Excellent news ...

Last day on our Abergavenny crowdfunded. Times are tough and we're extremely grateful for the support we've received and all the messages of support for our 2nd branch. We hope to open Bookish 2 at the start of May! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/help-book-is…

@_DavidSmith Great insight and particularly gratifying to see this as a "clean" blog post, hope many others follow your lead and some return to RSS (maybe with ActivityPub notifiers) returns ...

Design Notes Diary #1 david-smith.org/blog/2022/11/2… I’m trying a new approach to sharing my development process in a way that takes more ownership of the content, lessens my dependence on Twitter and hopefully increases the depth of the insight. A daily design/development diary.

@nicholas_mee Paging Jonny @LateBrakeShow ...

Which would you take on your shooting break? 1966 Aston Martin DB5 Vantage Shooting Brake 2019 Aston Martin Vanquish Zagato Shooting Brake Both are available for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms now. Full details: nicholasmee.co.uk/aston-martin-c…

@Bookishcrick must be call for an Eco like library (youtube.com/watch?v=Czc_Kj…) somewhere in the Beacons ;)

OR!!! Imagine if one person wanted 23,000 books for a new library? If you're that millionaire, if you have an empty library......I AM YOUR BOOKSELLER! (But only if you promise to install a secret door and a reading nook with inbuilt gin tap)

I always daydream about what it would be like if all of our Twitter following bought an £8.99 paperback.

@arctictony and packaging, discard the contents, adore the cardboard boxes

@ptribble Ceph and IPFS probably fulfill some of the promise these days, but with different directions of development and foundations

@ptribble Yup, got swept up by other various developments, early paper at researchgate.net/publication/42…

I had forgotten about this from the OpenSolaris days, and given how little I can find I'm guessing it sank without trace sites.google.com/a/jdc.edu/luis…

@PookyD81 Love it … crack giving it a little less harsh ride to complement the handling and you'll have a joyous little thing

Buy a car and within 5 miles put it straight on a ramp to make a list of jobs. Needs two rear bump stops, passenger side gearbox seal and…a good tidy up inside and out. Oh and a rear bumper paint but I knew that anyway.

@sniffpetrol probably, all the old Leyland buses used some pre-selector/air form of change, lovely little gated change on a pedestal/column

We reckon it's a pre-selector system but invite the thoughts of busperts on this matter.

If you've listened to this week's Smith and Sniff you'll have heard @Carpervert and me mention a video of a coach driver with an amazing gear change technique. Here it is. youtu.be/5r4jchGivFk

@jackthurston The left of field response is a Skydio 2 drone, although I think its US/Australia only officially ATM. Its capable of a more autonomous operation than the DJI, ideal for cycling/motorbike tracking …

@SupercarOwner @harrismonkey agreed, @collectingcars_ need to add an RSS feed though to make discovering (and following) it much easier

This is quite entertaining and enlightening: collectingcars.com/stories/chris-… @harrismonkey

@b0rk re:sql-utils, for quickly massaging/wrangling datasets you might find visidata handy, it outputs to sqlite amongst others ...

@sogrady agreed, rock-solid and great perf, litestream enhancements are one to watch too

sqlite is arguably the most under-appreciated ubiquitous database. that may change soon.

@G4KLX @idiotvillager @PippaMusgrave1 @IanDunt just checked, complete Ascent of Man series is too

@G4KLX @idiotvillager @PippaMusgrave1 @IanDunt All of the Connections series (1-3) are available for free from the Internet Archive online ...

One of the greatest TV programmes ever made. All of it available on YouTube, last time I checked. The episode on uncertainty absolutely kicked the shit out of me when I was a teenager and helped cure me of Marxism.

@barrygoodman68 @MauriceHamilton @Motor_Sport It was indeed, a great piece ...

@MauriceHamilton @Motor_Sport I remember that article well. A Metro 6R4, Sierra Cosworth, G3 Escort, a Corsa too if I recall. Was it printed in Cars and Car Conversions also??

Remembering Russell Bulgin (extreme right), exceptionally gifted British journalist who died of cancer 20 years ago this month. Russell had friendship + trust of Senna (pictured Detroit '85). Persuaded Ayrton to drive rally cars in a Welsh forest. See #Flashback in @motor_sport
