    Recently test drove a Tesla 3 - lovely car - but nightly internet connected. Seems many cars are now doing this, and some people are concerned about privacy - https://wapo.st/34uBOez

    Should we be worried? “Yes” - I think so - though there are many things which can be done better with such connectivity. Cars a few years old probably won’t have this ‘“problem”.

    Yup it's becoming more the way your smart phone works except you are not in as much control.
    Teslsa take video clips too. So if your walking by one you could be on it.
    There is talk of cars becoming tools for companies and drivers getting paid a %

    Weather looks ok for tomorrow so hope to get out for a ride... I've discovered a nice twisty road not far from me so will be blasting down that ... stopping for a coffee on 'the hill' as you do...

    Been waiting for ages for one of these to come up on the bay...



    It wasn't cheap, but at least i can attempt to ride the thing again..



    I'm still amazed at the value of these things these days! My brother sold his Chopper SE for the price of a small car recently.

    A guy down the road had the first 5 speed Raleigh Chopper I'd ever seen back then.

    My Mum got me a brand new Raleigh Grifter which I loved - A big spend for her those days, bless her.
