  1. @davidwilkins THIRTEEN separate panes of glass! 🤩

    The thirteenth is inside the car (but not all of them had it). It protects inside rear seat passengers from cold or hot outside air when the rear hatch is opened.

  2. @davidwilkins I’ve ridden in one through the vineyards of Burgundy. It’s a very plush environment. The leather quality is superb. The dampening of uneven surfaces exemplary.

    The clock is lovely, if a bit gimmicky IMO. My initial thought was how well would that be doing after 10-15 years of use? 🤔

    A very nice vehicle indeed. No idea of pricing and options, costs to maintain etc.

  6. @davidwilkins: Separate yes, but still very related: After PSA took over #Citroën they forbid engineers to continue their #2CV successor project and locked away the drawings. Citroën designer recreated the same design on a PSA platform (and later even in a variant with a 2CV instead of a GS engine) and the 104-based #Visa was born.

    Later they sold the old plans to #Oltcit, i.e. the #Axel is what the Visa was meant to be. But no parts are the same as the Visa had to be designed from scratch.

  7. @davidwilkins: Indeed, about every second vintage streetfood van is a Citroën H Van (or a replica). If you want the really odd and (at least nowadays) not so well-known #Citroën commercial vehicle, have a look at the 1964 (or '65 depending if you trust more the German or English Wikipedia 🤪) to 1972 Citroën 350 to 850, which is usually just named the #Belphégor after a French 1927 crime novel which made it into TV in the 60s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3

  8. @davidwilby Quarto makes it really easy to quickly make very nice looking and in-depth teaching materials. Combining that with (R or python) enables a lot of interactivity that we couldn’t get otherwise.

    Here’s a really simple example, looking at splines and how they are affected by knot placement:

'The development of a fully functioning acoustic detection system could have been a way that SailGP could have contributed something with a positive environmental benefit'."

  16. @davidwilkins: I was very sad when I heard that the #Threewheeler #EV3 had to be cancelled for IIRC reasons outside #Morgan.

    Accordingly I was happy, when I recently heard that Morgan works on a new electric Threewheeler (the prototype is called #XP1) based on the recently released #Super3: startupselfie.net/2023/12/08/m #EV #3wheeler #WeirdCarMastodon

  21. @davidwilkins as it happens my friend with the Imp also had a Sunbeam Lotus for a while.
    Here it is an Silverstone Classic in 2008, Which seems a long time ago, with a bunch of other Rootes Rally Cars.

  22. @davidwilkins

    Acquired some James Bond fame in #YouOnlyLiveTwice! 😉

    Call me #woke if you like — I won’t be offended anyway — but as with most #JamesBond movies, there are a lot of Japanese clichés in that movie that are a bit cringeworthy to watch today. 😬
