There was some tricky wordplay and a few elliptic definitions here.

I flew through most of this, but stalled on the last two.
Times Cryptic 29250 – Sat, 7 June 2025. Shakes on a plane.
I did this while in flight mode on an intercity flight. Luckily I didn’t accidentally refresh the screen and lose everything.

An interesting range of topics here. Should we take the sports car or the Harley down to the Italian restaurant?
Times Cryptic 29238 – Sat, 24 May 2025. The girl from Ipanema?
I was going to link to a YouTube performance of that iconic song. Sad how scratchy the soundtracks seem now, so never mind that!

There were some improbable answers here (… is that really a word?)
