Planned a road road trip while visiting family in Canada. Booked rental with National Car Rental. Arrived to collect car, told none were available, despite confirmed booking. Father-in-law saved the day and loaned me his Highlander for a few days. Thank you Jim 🙏🙏🙏

Does anyone out there have CAD software to open a .dxf file? It's 1.2gb and the free online viewer things won't do it. Just need a few screengrabs - happy to trade money/charity donation in return 🤞🏼

I might have to upgrade this to an offer of booze or some other bribe. Can anyone open and screengrab DXF files? Help!

As first gigs go, this was a good one. Three Miles Up: another official Guinness World Records world record for Porsche, and my first proper project at Samuelson Wylie. Congrats to @AngusFitton, JF Musial and the TangentVector team. A transatlantic effort!

I once did a merch shoot with Sebastian Vettel, back when he first joined Toro Rosso. The studio was baking hot and he insisted on wearing only his Y-fronts between shots, while we watched car-crash videos on YouTube. A world champ in the making, right there.

Heritage caravan enthusiasts! Can anyone help me identify this? I think it’s from the late 20s or early 30s, possibly a Bertram Hutchings. Asking for a friend…

17 years after my work experience at Autocar, they finally let me write something. Christmas issue out now, featuring a watch guide by me, and Piers Ward rolling like a legend.

Here’s a story I wrote about the brilliant Paralympic medallist Oliver Lam-Watson PLY, who drives a 911 GT3 PDK. He’s lost the use of his left leg, but he can still drive an auto. He displays his blue badge proudly and deals with this sort of prejudice daily. shorturl.at/gFGMX

Reading back on a story I wrote in 2011, when Kimi Räikkönen had a crack at NASCAR and Top Gear sponsored the race. I’d forgotten this gem:
