I disliked Yank Tanks for most of my life, and admired small British sports cars. But in recent years I have grown to admire the muscle cars. I will probably never own one, but somehow wish I had bought a GTHO or an XU1 back in the day. Am I turning into a bogan?

Crap day for me. I went to use my lathe and it wouldn't turn, headstock bearings jammed for some reason. So I took my old car for a drive instead, and went through one of those cameras that spots your phone on the passenger seat, where mine was. Then got home and, being annoyed, scraped the paint on the garage door. First damage to the perfect paint job in 25 years of ownership. I'm going flying in the morning, hope my luck has changed by then.

Are you telling us something?
