Lunchtime wheels #notavan

The future of van test drives is virtual. I got to have a go on Ford's very cool and frankly massive simulator. Can confirm tweed, five-point harnesses and a sensation of moving while not actually moving are not an ideal mixture straight after lunch parkers.co.uk/vans-pickups/n…

This has crept up on us! It's now less than two weeks until some car writer people head to a parkrun. Who's in?

If ever there is a journey where I forget I have two small occupants in the rear seats I'll use it as a prompt to get my hearing tested. Thanks, though, Ford

This Saturday, thanks to Tom's brilliant initiative, a few of us car writers/PRs are heading for the Black Park parkrun UK just outside Slough. Anyone other car writers or PRs want to come join us? All welcome.

What Graeme said. If you do words and cars, and enjoy a parkrun, it would be great to see you there!

Those wheels. Like them? Despise them?

This is the new long-wheelbase Volkswagen Vans ID.Buzz. With seven seats, a bigger 85kWh battery, a new infotainment setup and space for all the family and their luggage (though not necessarily at the same time)

They needed a Luton van, not a van in Luton bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

You might love this, and that’s fine, but it’s really not for me. Felt oddly unnerving in heavy rain earlier

Come, join us! It’s nice here. The people are nice and you do nice things. Deadline’s soon though so do get a wriggle on

Hotel transport. Instagram versus reality

Absolutely delighted to hear ITV Cycling serenade Romain Bardet with SL2’s On a Ragga Tip in tonight’s highlights, as happens in our house whenever he appears on screen
