Once more for the people at the back who haven't been paying attention over the last 15 years: The. Stock. Is. The. Product.

You’re incapable of dealing with a tethered bottle top mate, probably best you give flying cars a miss.

This is hilarious. 10/10 no notes. I hope athletes see this and start doing it. Easiest way to weed out resellers.

I should add that I think this particular company *will* take action, because I believe they share our approach to transparency. I'll be disappointed if not.

There is currently a Porsche 911 GT3 RS for sale online, which had a major accident with structural damage when nearly new. It's not in the listing, so I've flagged to the company hosting the sale, evidencing the proof. We'll see if it gets updated/removed.

Still for sale if anyone wants a mega all-rounder for sub-£6k. Drop me a DM if interested and I'll send all the details.

If anyone is in the market for an affordable wagon with boatloads of torque, drop me a DM. Comfort seats, surround-view cameras, panoramic sunroof, soft-close doors, all-season tyres. Yes, this is a dramatic AI image to inspire you to take it on a great road trip.

And I know it's popular among the Intro to Cinema crowd to dunk on Sorkin, but The Newsroom should be in here too – If only because "If liberals are so f*ckin' smart, how come they lose so goddamn always?" is essentially the last 20 years of politics summed up in one line.

The New York Times’ final list of the 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century is now complete. What do you make of the final ranking? Which placements surprised you the most?

Fleabag, Veep, and The Office (UK) all ludicrously high on this (among others). Wouldn't even put them in the top 50. Studio 60, Scrubs, Mindhunter not even on the list. Dear oh dear...

I think "sub-optimal" was probably the phrase also used by @chashallett when the second-gen 308 was dropped off at What Car? HQ back in 2013. Plus ça change...

Of course the McLaren SUV was always going to happen. Can we please ensure that the snooty slide in the presentation deck throwing shade at all other brands with SUVs in their model range is shared far and wide when the concept is revealed.

I maintain that this might be the best station waiting room / café in the UK. And not just because it has a cat.
