@LobAllan @timrodie COVID was a bad time to sell a car, PX even worse

When you find out how much @wizzair charge for luggage

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@wizzair does your seating algorithm purposefully split up families to try to convince us to spend more money? Loads of full free rows on our flight and my wife and I have been placed in two different rows. Even Ryanair didn’t do that.

@McCons What’s this all about then? I’m out here doing vehicle test staying in Sitges and I’m driving past all these fancy Jaguars parked outside the Sabatic and now you’re there too!

@autoalex have a look at Sohil.95 on Instagram, he’s just finishing his Technoviolet M3 touring

@FormulaK_UK I have this picture on my wall from about 33 years ago, I think in Pleasurewood Hills but I could be wrong… firstly is it one of yours and secondly do you know anything about this car/body and if it still exists somewhere?

Hey @OoniHQ is this ok? Looks a little too familiar to me?

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@SamSeville_ @timrodie @HenryCatchpole @autoalex I think they were added by a previous owner but yeah

I’m selling my Clio 197, and I’m open to sensible offers. It’s a lovely car https://t.co/kzJ9598zUX @timrodie @HenryCatchpole @autoalex

@StripeyMiata @grayheath56 @CitizenXXXXXXX @GMB @Ella_M_Whelan Plus the V8 project car in my garage has been a zero-emissions-vehicle for the past two years thanks to my disorganisation

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@StripeyMiata @grayheath56 @CitizenXXXXXXX @GMB @Ella_M_Whelan Specially if they’re used, we’re hoarding ones that have already been made rather than damaging the environment by asking for new ones to be made!

@TheCarGuru @Kop_Hill_Climb There’s a thread on a Porsche forum if you search for Kool Kanvas

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@TheCarGuru @Kop_Hill_Climb I’m pretty sure the whole deal is to get just enough that it’s not worth a small claims court, get a load of orders and then shut down, hide for a few months and rename the company. There are also theories that he doesn’t have rights to any of the artwork on sale.

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@richardbrunning Brilliant, I think they’re an order of magnitude out of touch to be honest. I’ve been thinking for a few years there must be some millionaire fans hiding in the subscriber list. Considering what people pay for non-unique restmods, a single Binky must be worth north of a £million?

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@richardbrunning Are you happy with your purchase? I’m considering a similar vintage XJ supersport

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@hepaintscaves I think it’s incredible how each iteration instantly makes the last look old and fussy… this new generation is so clean and smooth I can’t imagine how they’ll pull it off again in 2030. In the video they released it looks more like a concept car than a production vehicle

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@autoalex @CarThrottle @MrRoryReid Ok daddy

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@CarThrottle @autoalex @MrRoryReid this is my car you were talking about, what wasn’t clean about it that you noticed out of interest? Dirty or ragged? And what’s wrong with my seating position😆

[David Chapman @DaveTheChappers]

@autoalex @CarThrottle @MrRoryReid How did you know my mum gave me a lift that day?
