Twitter Newbie...

As I've not worked out how to add a photo to a tweet yet, or possibly as my phone if from the 90's, I'm putting this here in response to @C12UFO and @harrismonkey on the subject of exhaust shapes...

A happy spot in Monterey. Not on a Ford. Tidy.

Three weeks of no car is a long time...

Clearly I'm going stir crazy. I've joined Twitter. Though I should point out it's mostly for keeping up with and commenting on car and car sports type stuff and not detailing what I'm having in my sandwiches.

I was persuaded by two (sad) things:

One. A mate who works in finance pointed out that he was more able to follow the Japanese tsunami crisis via Twitter and form swift opinions via the same better than through what I'd style as 'trad' news outlets.

Two. Via again, a mate, I found out about the death of Amy Winehouse via Twitter. A quick flick to BBC1, BBC News 24 and Teletext showed nothing. New era then. Yeah - try not to mock. I just realised.

I shall endeavour to be more open minded then....

News is different.

And now for something not entirely completely different.

Just me...no Caterham

Apologies for the lack of posting.

Top tip of the day (year?) would be if you wish to enjoy the use of your Caterham, or indeed any car, during the nice dry weather of the summer, do avoid breaking your ankle.

Things I have discovered:

It hurts to break an ankle. Even a tiny wee avulsion fracture. Especially when you have to walk over a mile on it before getting any first aid.

It's illegal (or at least invalidates your insurance, which amounts to the same thing) to drive with a cast on your foot.

Even if I could drive, the cast is too damn wide for Caterham Seven pedals.

Damn and double damn. 23 days until the cast comes off and counting.
