@LOOKatMyMX5 Has so many tyre kickers I took it off sale.
May go back on but let’s see.

@AutoPap Aside from 'eeverything is for sale' if the price is right, is it a keeper for now? It is a glorious example and surely growing on you?

Wow but this is a RHD 280 which the collectors prefer. Mine is a lovely 230 - which I can afford, so I prefer.
(I’m no good at this car investment advice stuff am I 🤔)

@scottiebateman Delhi airport is probably the best I’ve ever visited. The food in that large lounge is insanely good.

Heathrow to Delhi and already thinking about butter chicken.
Long-haul flying has its moments of intensity, weather, fuel, time zones, constant decision-making … but it also comes with something we don’t talk about enough: the reset.
A good layover.
Delhi delivers on that.
Butter chicken, or murgh makhani, was born not far from where I’ll be later, in the kitchens of Moti Mahal in Delhi in the 1950s. A dish created almost by accident, turning leftover tandoori chicken into something rich, restorative, and iconic. Comfort food, perfected.
And after a long sector, that’s exactly what a layover can be.
A chance to slow things down.
Good food. A quiet room. Maybe a spa.
A few hours where the tempo drops and the body catches up with the clock.
Because even in a job that looks like constant movement, recovery matters. Good judgement, sharp thinking, and safe flying all depend on being properly rested, physically and mentally.
So yes, Delhi today is about flying the aircraft well.
But it’s also about switching off properly once we’re on the ground.
A reminder that even pilots need to recharge.
Right… let’s go earn that butter chicken.

@AutoPap Every time I see a photo of your car it brightens my day. Such a truly beautiful thing.

@ROBANDTHEMOB Ah, after a long drive I left my sense of humour about 75 miles away yesterday 😄

@adrianfclarke F Type should have saved the company but a 2 seater, that was more expensive than a Cayman and the same as a 4 seat 911, never made sense.
Ian was never the saviour of that company. And never will be.

I don’t know Ian Callum. I was way below his pay grade and anyway at the time the Jaguar and Land Rover studios were still separate. However it’s clear on the run up to launch of the Type 00 he’s doing the media rounds bemoaning ‘what could have been’ - i.e. his next round of cars that were cancelled, and doing a bit of history rewriting.
I saw all those proposals and it was all more of the same - there was nothing new (if you Google you can find images of the cancelled EV XJ). There was only one ‘new’ model proposal that was truly, truly stunning - and that never stood a chance.
Say what you will about the Callum Jaguars (personally I think the X351 XJ of 2010 was incredible) but the bottom line is those cars were not selling. In their best of sales, 2018 Jaguar sold about 180k cars. That year BMW sold over 2 million.
