And now some Maserati shooting brakes

And a cousin to Maserati...De Tomarso

A near neighbour of ours had a Pantera, the only one I ever saw in the flesh 😀

I put 242,000 miles on my Lotus Excel in 20 years. Little trouble usually trivial. Buuuuut, servicing bills to keep it reliable were horrendous.

The FAA dosn't appear to have a clue about how to handle these vehicles.

Fully automated flying taxis are just waiting for a green light.

Highly disagree.
The cheapest and most proven are unmanned Helocopters based on the Jet Ranger platform and have been in testing and in limited military use for about a decade now.

The tech is not mature enough, and being a quad rotor does not make it any simpler of a problem then doing a Helocopter.

Owned quite a few Lotus over the years and never a problem, took one down to the south of France from Scotland and back without a single problem.

Not this one 😀



Scotland on a winters day 😁

Lotus on the streets of London.. the first one I've seen in the flesh..

Harry Metcalfe’s latest video is interesting as he talks about some of the reasons why he traded up from his Lotus to a McLaren:

NB his new McLaren is definitely not a shooting brake 😁

Not come across Harry before, I am particularly impressed by the 442,000 views and 1870 comments on the video thats only been up for 2 days!

Good video and I enjoyed reading the comments almost ( if not more ) as much.
