Collected my new Lotus Emira last week and have now done 2400 miles in it. Did a few videos along the way, which will go live next month. Amazing car, can’t wait to share what I’ve discovered so far..

I live in a village in the Cotswolds with approx 240 residents and there is now a 2nd Lamborghini Espada (not forgetting an Jarama S) in the village. Is this unusual?

I couldn’t resist...meet #OZA , my @ToyotaUK #GRYaris which I think looks particularly fab in red, showing off its black details the best. I only bought it because it’s a breath of fresh air in this increasingly heavy, EV world we’re entering & will now be our new family hack. 😀

So sad to hear today the legendary car designer Marcello Gandini has died. I’m a massive fan of his work, owning several of his cars including Countach & Espada. I would love to own more, especially the Stratos & Shamal. His designs were never traditionally beautiful but

Just been jabbed. Rocked up at 2:15 for a 2:25 appointment. Jab administered at 2:25.08. Extraordinary operation by all involved. Went in Esprit & guys on door said I’d won car of the day. Parked next to a Yamaha R1. Seems many use jab as a good excuse to drive a toy again. 👏👏

Just heard @ChrisGPackham say 50% drop in UK #hedgehog population since 2000 mainly due to UK farmers ripping out hedgerows. Sorry mate, farmers have planted over 30,000km of new hedgerows since 1997 & there’s now over 400,000km of hedgerows in UK. @nfu @BBCSpringwatch

I never expected we’d be seeing new electric cars pretending to be ICE powered cars. Why didn’t Abarth go the whole hog and fit quad exhaust pipes as well! This is madness that adds unnecessary weight plus potential embarrassment and won’t end well.

His commentary was simply inspiring, especially when teamed with the late James Hunt. I feel lucky to be part of a generation who got to listen to Murray magic over several decades. Deeply saddened by his passing.
It’s with great sadness we share the news of the passing of BRDC Associate Member Murray Walker OBE. A friend, a true motorsport legend, the nations favourite commentator and a contagious smile. We thank Murray for all he has done for our community. RIP our friend.

One of the best forms of escapism I know. 2hr ride on this Honda masterpiece from the seventies with no electronic aids but plenty of go. Requires you to concentrate at all times. Fantastic. #cbx

Today’s Harry’s Garage video is a Pagani special. I visit the Pagani Factory & look at how Horacio first started @OfficialPagani plus his time at Lamborghini. Then there’s a tour of the factory plus a detailed look at the new Utopia. Vid goes live 5pm. Warning; it’s 42mins long

Tonight’s HG vid is a review of the @LandRoverUKPR Defender 110. M Jnr very kindly did a possible thumbnail photo of me with the Defender but I’m not sure if it’s the right one to use.. Vid goes live 5pm today.

New HG goes live 5pm today and I really enjoyed doing this one. It features the BMW M3 CSL but with a manual gearbox, rather than the automated manual (SMG) gearbox it left the factory with. It’s transformed..

Wow, how did that happen?! Many thanks to Newspress & to those that voted for me, much appreciated. I love doing the vids but continue to be surprised they appear to be so well received, shaky cam & all. As I keep saying, more videos coming along very soon #Newspressawards2020

There’s a new update video on my Jaguar XJC V12 manual going live later, which reveals the results of the dyno session after fitting the updated fuel injection and ignition system. Not only does it have more power, it sounds even better too, as you’ll discover at 5pm today..

Amazed at recent growth in HG @YouTube channel. Views up 8% again in October to 874k (and 30% up since July), with likes at 16,135 & dislikes 299. No idea what’s triggered sudden growth but many thanks for continued support! Alfa 8C vid coming this week..

Looking forward to seeing the reaction to today’s HG video, which is review of the Aston Lagonda. I enjoyed 2 weeks driving this crazy car and loved every minute. Video goes live 5pm today..

Oh great, just what we need to reduce our CO2 emissions. Seems near 3tonne, 950bhp family EVs are all the rage right now. Does anyone actually think these are a good idea?

After nearly a year of being bashed on the head by the rear tailgate on my L322 Range Rover, I finally got round to fitting a pair of new gas struts. £24 delivered & 10 minutes to fit; no more dropping tailgate. Why do us blokes put off doing these simple jobs for so long?!

Ever wondered what a 556bhp Jensen FF might be like to drive? Good news, the next HG vid goes live at 5:30pm today and features the @JensenIntl FF-R. It’s a brute. 0-60 3.7secs, 180mph..

Today’s video features a £100k BMW that let’s just say I wasn’t overly impressed by. Issues include range, price, feel, electronics, size, weight, looks…it’s quite a list. Video goes live 5pm today.
