Sun's out, so took this out for a spin. It gave me a chance to try its new exhaust for the first time (verdict: it sounds brilliant now). I'll be looking to move it on at some point this year, though, so if you know someone who might be interested...

@nayf_cars @Mdrnclassics @ACAKingsLynn I test drove one about 10 years ago. Loved it. Came very close to buying but ended up with a 205 instead

@sniffpetrol We shot a retro twin test for AE a little while back. They were kind enough to let us borrow these two sweet, sweet cars

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@Seancockram @ChrisGoffey I'd always argue strongly against people scrapping perfectly good, older cars, but to be honest it would've been better for the planet to have never bothered with the A2's existence and just have an AX diesel instead - but why draw such an arbitrary a line under progress?

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@Seancockram @ChrisGoffey Love the A2 - disagree with the point. If petrol/oil etc that the A2 regularly uses grew on trees, rather than being drilled/refined/shipped around the world, then maybe the argument would hold up. And battery recycling will be huge - too much money in that for it to not happen

@CustomCvd @flaneurUK Hi! In the 10 years I spent being a motoring journo, that fear never crossed my mind. And I doubt many, if any, of my former peers gave it a second thought either

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@adrianfclarke Hi Adrian! I believe we've met briefly before - I think you get along with my brother Ant? Nothing stinky here. I'd happily answer any questions to avoid any more conclusion-jumping, but I wrote *a lot* in my last month at AE: https://t.co/GB4sPmYTNY

Time to dust off my Twitter again... Between handing my notice in at AE and joining BYD, I wrote: A special on the Fiat Panda, a twin test between the Golf R32 and Alfa 147 GTA, a twin test between a Kia EV4 and Renault Megane, a drive of a Citreon Ami, a twin test between a (1/)

and, @flaneurUK, forgive me for taking an amazing career opportunity after 10 brilliant years as a motoring journo (most of which was spent at Auto Express)

BYD adds to its UK media team, but interestingly Alex is still publishing stories over on Auto Express this month...

Given that the interview and job offer must have predated the 11 December press release it does question the editorial bias of Auto Express with over 10 articles published since the announcement.

Though since AE is now owned by Carwow that it perhaps not a surprise?

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

... Ariel Atom and a Caterham Seven, a twin test between the Merc CLA and a Tesla Model 3... and that's just the stuff I remember just now. Not surprising that all of that is still filtering through online! Sorry that I, and my former colleagues, work really hard!

@OctaneJames Without giving the game away too much, I'm trying to sell a Spider version of one at the moment..

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@aohereng Nice. It's a good incentive for your child to brush up on their Italian - parts are much easier to come by over there than they are in the UK!

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@PeugeotUKPR @PeugeotUK The tracking driver might be a touch overqualified for the role

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@FrontSeatPhil For your sake I hope it isn't one of those dr things

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@MttRbnsn @HolmesTW @PorscheGB @TedWelford It would suit a sunny day in Malibu much better than a grey day just outside of Stuttgart

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

@WilkiWheels It's the same car we had in AE a while back! https://t.co/C1mWJT8Ypu

@MotoGPJules I tried to send you a DM but apparently I'm not allowed to because I'm not verified

[Alex Ingram @AxleIngram]

Who would like to buy my Mondeo? It's in The Best Spec, mechanically brilliant, but has one or two frilly edges: https://t.co/oh4i3rEmeT

@JDennisonCars A shame that the driver on the inside knows they can just release the brake enough to make the apex first, regardless of whether they will make the corner or not. Credit to Verstappen for playing to the rather dodgy rules very well
