So I am a week in with the daily driver TCA on my bench and it’s been an interesting journey. Here are some initial rough and dirty thoughts on the experience so far. Pros: Cons: Pro or Con? In summary: What do you think? To be continued…..

Machines: 2023 was a year when not much happened. Not too many new releases and it really was a case of “Little to see here…” We’ll keep it brief this year, but as always, if you have something in mind, just call for a chat. We call them as we see them and with 100%
