Arrest this man! Or donate some money. I’m overwhelmed by the cash that’s poured in so far - thank you. If Day 8 is anything to go by, then the awfulness of my face by the end of #Movember will go someway to live up to it all... uk.movember.com/mospace/142905…

The Top Gear team have terrible facial hair, but hearts of gold - they've all joined in with Movember to ensure our Zoom meetings look like an identity parade... uk.movember.com/team/2396491

Everyone has - rightly - discussed Lewis's phenomenal achievement at the weekend. But why not take five mins to read his teammate discussing phenomenal facial hair... topgear.com/car-news/inter…

Three weeks down, one week to go... unless I keep my lip slug 'til 2021? Try and extend it into a Dodgeball-esque horseshoe? Am I getting too attached? uk.movember.com/mospace/142905…

I absolutely hate taking selfies, so I'm sure it's a relief for ALL of us that this is the final one of Movember. Ginormous thanks to all those who donated. Even if you can't, please read. It's important we look after ourselves! uk.movember.com/mospace/142905…

After seven (and a bit) years, 95 issues and countless web stories and fancy dress opportunities, I'm leaving my full-time role at Top Gear to head freelance. It's been a blast and I'll still be appearing in TG, as well as plenty of other places...

Spreading the good Mackem word to Australia. Freelancing is fun. As is shoehorning a bunch of batteries into an 80s rep car, it turns out.

Nearly time to say goodbye to my Hyundai i20N long-termer after six fun months. Anything you want to know before it goes back? And is replaced by something bought with my actual money?

One of the biggest privileges of my job is also the most heart-wrenching: being trusted to pay tribute to those I admire. This one stung more than usual. RIP, Chrissy. motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motor…

A whole new print magazine! Exciting times. It was a true pleasure to be part of something that Will Beaumont has poured his heart and soul into this year. Go buy a copy - it's a delight.

Delighted to make my debut on Ti, not least because it meant spending time nattering away to Glenn. A fascinating and frank insight into the mind of a TT racer right before the famous shoulder tap...

Motor sport hasn’t always been the happiest of homes for LGBTQ+ athletes. As Pride Month comes to an end, Stephen Dobie hears some of their fears and hopes as the sport targets greater inclusivity for drivers and fans alike bit.ly/3Nxfqts

Lots of lovely stuff in here, a fascinating chat with Mike Conway tucked amongst it all. Brilliant to poke around Gazoo Racing's European base with him.

Over the moon to be 2024 Automotive Feature Writer of the Year - against some very talented competition. Freelance life is so fun and I get to work for titles (and with people) I've always admired. Getting to celebrate some of the work we've done together is ace.
