Buyer's remorse or attempt to flip? This car just popped up for sale on my local FB Marketplace.

Oooh, no! I'll have to check that out. Of course, the 900 cab makes plenty of appearances in Seinfeld, and Minnie Driver, uh, drives one in Grosse Pointe Blank!

After six years of remote work, I'm going in to an actual office these days. When I walk to work in the morning my wife reports that the cat watches me leave from the window and apparently sits there for a good half hour waiting for me! 😭 😭 😭 😭

Good stuff so far - the fact that China is hot on the heels makes it even better. My suspicion is that Red Bull is faster than they might have appeared - Max put in some cracking laps this weekend (fastest of the race!), and looked just as quick as George. It's too bad we didn't get to see Hadjar.

Obvs Kicker really dominated the market for amps/subs when I was building systems for my cars in the 90s/2000s. But McIntosh amps and MB Quart component speakers were aspirational stuff. God, it was all so expensive back then.

Looking down the muffler of the motorbike after 5000km on the road. Milky coffee coloured exhaust. Not white.

Outback touring in the 90’s on my β€˜88 Ducati 750 Sport.

Salt pans in the distance.

Light brown exhaust meant the carburation was correct for the air/oil cooled engine at prolonged high speeds.

The additives in the fuel then
caused the colour apparently. Don’t see it now.
