Stuff UK – September 2019

OUR MONTH

I SAT IN A LEGO

SUPERCAR

The Goodwood Festival of

Speed is like Glastonbury for

car geeks, but even my nerd

barometer topped out at

spotting a full-scale replica of the McLaren

Senna supercar constructed from 500,

Lego bricks. At 1518kg it’s actually 500kg

heavier than the real thing – so says

Ayrton’s racing driver nephew Bruno,

who was kind enough to show me around.

As if driving a McLaren isn’t loud enough,

the real ones also come with a Bowers &

Wilkins sound system – which, as you’ll see

in this issue, is rather special.

I FORGOT MY

‘NO GAMING AT

THE TABLE’ RULE

They don’t keep you waiting

long for your Asian tapas

at the Inamo restaurant

in Camden Town, but how long does it take

the average hungry child in a public place

to start acting up? About eight seconds?

Luckily, once you’ve ordered your food via

iPad, Inamo’s ceiling projectors allow you to

play games and puzzles on your tabletop.

Pictured: the opening exchanges of an epic

Pong encounter that eventually went to

extra time before being controversially

abandoned due to sashimi on the pitch.

I INDULGED IN

‘SELF-CARE’ FOR

THE FIRST TIME

You probably wouldn’t think

I have much in common

with Beyoncé and Cristiano

Ronaldo... but you’d be wrong. They both

apparently make use of LPG Endermologie’s

revitalising facials, and this month, so did I.

The brand’s Cellu M6 Alliance tech sends

micro-pulsations over the surface of your

face and neck, banishing toxins and reducing

wrinkles. My mush definitely looked nicely

plump afterwards, but sadly I didn’t gain any

of Cristiano’s footballing ability.

I FELT THE

ADIDAS BOOST...

...and then I felt the blow

as English sprinter Desiree

Henry tagged me in a game

of human Pac-Man – where

we, the semi-fit mortals, had to run along

lines on the ground without getting caught

by the ghosts, a pack of sinewy elite athletes.

We were all equipped with the greatest

of running shoes, Adidas’s Ultraboost 19s,

which look as though tiny marshmallows

have been densely packed into the soles

for extra bounce. Now why couldn’t the

event have focused on real marshmallows?
