What everyone seems to be finding out - which has always been true - is that almost everyone on the right *and* the left who says they support unbridled free speech usually only supports it until they are offended.

One day. Three big Porsches! And when you consider that Norway isn't in the EU Customs Union, that price looks even more incredible. It's just what we do here at Collecting Cars - more than 3,200 Porsches sold to date, including over 2,400 911s!

This 'UK police seizing kid's phone because they viewed a social media post' clip is so obviously using a chopped up and carefully edited video from the doorstep. Let's wait for the *full unedited video* and hear what the police are *actually* seizing the phone for...

Starmer would benefit from an advanced driving course. If you're driving down a road and you start to lose traction, most experts will tell you to gently lift off - not push even harder on the throttle. That's why you lose control.

As much as the close-up shots where the jet fills the frame are a challenge to absolutely nail, I love catching these more evocative distance shots at the Loop. Like a dogfight over the mountains. #machloop

An 'ex Marilyn Monroe' Mercedes-Benz is doing the rounds. If anyone is considering buying it, they might want to check that the document that supposedly proves the provenance is real. Spoiler alert: it's not. Read the story here: collectingcars.com/articles/the-s…

If Elon Musk has full confidence in Community Notes and really wants his platform to be a bastion of truth, then there's one simple change that would totally transform it: if a message has a Community Note, force users to read it BEFORE viewing the post.

There's a company that claims 'world record' results even when they're less than prices achieved on CC. When I queried, they told me it was a 'live event' record. Haha! For clarity, this BMW E30 M3 Evo II is *actually* a world record auction result. collectingcars.com/for-sale/1988-…

Purely from a comms POV, this is just a ridiculously weak line of attack, which will prove entirely ineffective. The only people nodding along are those *already* not voting for him - and as every serious poll currently shows, that won't be anywhere near enough.

Grade II listed building being leased by a council to people who will actually make use of it (and make repairs to it on their own dime), and this division-fuelling moron on Twitter tries to make it sound like Buckingham Palace is getting demolished to make room for minarets.

Quick check-in to see how Nige's DOGE-tastic cost-cutting is going.... Ah. Oh dear. And this 'emperor's new clothes' moment is published on... GB News - in case you were assuming it was The Guardian.
