Chinese Tesla owners unnerved to learn their cars send real-time data, including location, to government-backed monitoring centers. https://t.co/sYqgQs4u4l

I had such a strong feeling that I had seen the new Porsche 911 somewhere before. Suddenly I remembered where. #Porsche911 #new911 #LAAutoShow2018

@jor6en När alltfler och allt mer förebrående röster höjs för att vi måste sluta köra bilar med förbränningsmotor skulle jag gärna vilja ha en bil med två motorer. Hybridisering på min nivå.

@Porsche's head of production, Albrecht Reimold, hints at future derivatives of the Mission E:

"The #911 is now in its seventh generation, with countless derivatives. Naturally, we are also considering derivatives for Mission E. But one thing at a time."

It looks like Dupond and Dupont ("The Thompson Twins") drove by on theirs mopeds when I was taking this photo in #Oman . My testreport about the new #Lexus #ls500h published in @SvDNaringsliv today.

Has there ever been a front engined car that looks so mid engined? I predict this cute little fella is a future collectible. #lotus #elan https://t.co/C27qsMaA8r

Has there ever been a car with shorter distance between the front wheel arches and the hoodline? I am forever in love with this late 1980:s @Honda #prelude. https://t.co/mAevlul2OT

We may have been a bit naughty at the weekend in an auction....

Once I had the great great pleasure to go with McRae in a Focus just like this one on a tiny gravel road. I understand he didn’t go flat out as on a race day, but nevertheless - amazing and a memory for life. https://t.co/3sNM4C47RO

On the day Land Rover announced a £150k Defender V8 I was in Detroit looking at this, the all-new, full spec Jeep Wrangler, on sale mid-year at around £35,000. Can’t help thinking it’s ‘way past time Land Rover also launched something ordinary people could afford...
