From July I will be editor of Construction News - follow @CN_Lem for more. This personal account will remain mostly about cars.

@_rlane_ Lovely if noisy. Spoke to the designers a few years ago. Seem to remember the VW parts bin turned up trumps with very narrow Lamborghini Diablo interior door handles.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@KarlSmithStudio Agreed. 67 was such a great year for cars. https://t.co/wiI1Vv8JrA

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

Have received an “untaxed vehicle” enforcement letter from DVLA for a Mr “Car Sale” at my home address, about a car I’ve never owned. Anyone ever dealt with one of these before?

@Odaekim Blade Runner. Keep Rutger Hauer. Dr Eldon Tyrell played by Dr Bunsen Honeydew

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@wdron Good luck Will - fully deserved

@CrackedW_Screen The only thing I’ve found the big screen useful for is route planning while stationary. Tesla screen shows a lot of the map in readable detail all at once. Other than that, pointless.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@KarlSmithStudio Thanks Karl. Can’t believe I’ve clocked up 500km of Saturday morning runs (though it has taken 4 years).

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

Very pleased to have reached this milestone and very grateful to the fantastic volunteers who make the run happen every week. Thank you!

[Wanstead parkrun @wansteadparkrun]

Only one milestone to report today: 100th parkrun for Lem Bingley, all of them here at Wanstead Flats. 💯

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@BPChargemaster Not by me - I’m not a customer. Just thought you should know.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@BPChargemaster your charger no 10717 on Harvey Rd London E11 needs attention. Charger still working but electric supply cabinet has been bashed into (not by me!) detached from its mountings and is in an unsafe state.

[Martyn Williams @MartynWilliams2]

After several months of removing the engine, stripping it down and rebuilding much of it, fitting it all back together, getting it running and fixing all leaks, I can't take it for a test drive because I've lost the bloody bolts that hold the bonnet on.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@2Be2Gether2 Yes, no problem, because it’s an imaginary car

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

A while ago I tweeted about an imaginary Tesla Roadster, about the same size and shape as a Mazda MX-5. I'm dreaming of a smaller, lighter and cheaper sports #EV than Tesla's actual proposed Roadster 2. I've created a couple of new images. Let me know what you think!

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@radbling You’re right - oops. They look like bicycle tyres.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@MoritzDiethelm Yes, you’re welcome to use with a picture credit to @LemBingley - thanks for asking.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@InsideEVs It would have been nice if you’d asked if you could use my images given, you know, copyright law.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@Chris_Pickering We’ve seen a mid-engine shaped Tesla already. This is deliberately Model 3 design language applied to MX-5 proportions. Plus the long frunk means you’d have actual luggage space.

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

@daniil_vodopian Feet, crumple zone and a frunk. EV powertrain avoids the usual lousy luggage issue of the traditional sports car layout

[Lem @GreenMotorLem]

One of those electric Mitsubishi-Citroen (Mitroen?) cars you don’t get so much nowadays.
