Back in AI-land, I’ve been using Gemini Advanced to knock up some Concept art for car versions that were never made, and very few people would want anyway.
Probably just me.

Sting and the bad Jaguar advert
Back in April 2000, Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner (AKA “Sting”) endorsed the Jaguar S-Type in the “what do rock stars dream of advert”:
Freelander pickup truck, anyone?
AI generated examples of a Freelander Mk1 as a pickup.
If Land Rover were to make shit looking sports cars
AI is a playground. But sometimes it can give a glimpse into the future. Specifically the shite sports cars that JLR will probably make and stupidly badge as either Land Rovers or Range Rovers.

Floods, Cars, Damage
Because of the situation round here on the marsh, I’ve become obsessed with Youtube videos of people trying to drive through floods.
Wales, 20mph and the most stupid statement ever.
Ok Wales, has dropped the speed limit to 20mph in built up areas. Deal with it. It is probably a good idea. I live in a 20mph zone, and I don’t moan about it. I moan about the pricks the belt down it too fast, park across my driveway waiting for their precious kids from the school 400yds away, but not the speed limit. Anyway…
My issue is with comment by Mark Drakeford, First Minister of Wales, and a man who has clearly no concept of speed, time, distance, or arithmetic .
He said:
“It’s going to take you a minute longer to make your journey, and we will save 10 people’s lives in Wales every year as a result of that one minute contribution – it doesn’t seem an unfair bargain,” said Mark Drakeford.
The bit I’m interested in is:
“It’s going to take you a minute longer to make your journey” said Mark Drakeford.
No, Mark, it isn’t. It is going to be one minute per mile. Get your numbers right.
Literally the most Iconic British car
If you ask people to named the most “iconic” British car, they’ll most likely say something like an E-Type Jag, and Aston DB5, a Mini, maybe a Lotus Esprit, or a Land Rover, or even possibly a Rolls Royce.
And they will be wrong. There is only one car that fits the definition. Millions of drivers see one every day, and don’t realise it. There aren’t that many on the roads these days, but there are thousands near the roads.
Ford Focus MK1 P100 Idea
Normally I’m quite good with photoshop, but it just isn’t with me today. Anyway, here is the greatest thing that Ford never made: The Focus MK1 P100/Ute. Based on the Estate version.
Vauxhall Astra
So, its Rock Festival season again, and because I’m too useless to own a functioning vehicle and as my Rock-Buddy doesn’t want her precious 3 Series bogged axle deep in a morass of mud, piss and stale Tuborg, its time to hire a car.
