This is Max. Max is a 62 reg XFR. Max is not perfect, but he is mine! Thanks for the mention on the Pod @TheBackRoadsTBR @LiamFreeman_ @jareddrives. Now for the long drive back to Northumberland. I’ll post to this thread with my experiences with Max and living with an #XFR

@Super70sSports This has got the new “oooooohhhhhh French champagne” written all over it @sniffpetrol @Carpervert

@ThatsSoVillage batting for the 1s in a white hoodie. Acceptable or no?

@LauraKirk12 They’re sour because the public’s view of Arsenal coverage has been irreparably clouded by Sky with Redknapp/Carragher/Neville who have taken endless joy in seeing Arsenal fail over years. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and it’s Arsenal on top, they’ve lost their narrative.

@OliDugmore He says it like, oh it’s ONLY 9%. We’ll only take an extra 9% of your future off you.
I feel very privileged to be in the higher rate tax bracket though my job. But it means I pay 51% of every £1 over the threshold I earn. I SUCKS.

@OliDugmore I’ve been saying it for years. Insightful and considered political thought IS possible whilst sat on the loo. Great to see you doing your part @OliDugmore

@x_ecutive Another option for the Spring? @sniffpetrol 😂

[Elliott Birkett-Jones @Elliott190596]

@sniffpetrol @revslimiter @A1GOY @Carpervert Sadly not 😂 The only Alfa’s I’ve truly lusted after are the 8C and the Montreal which tremendous as they are are some way off my radar

[Elliott Birkett-Jones @Elliott190596]

Car thoughts please chaps @A1GOY @sniffpetrol @Carpervert wife has sadly put an end to my coupe search (was lusting after a 981s Cayman) and have narrowed cars I’d like to try to a Macan GTS or an RS3 (both 2017). Any experience/strong feelings on either?

[Elliott Birkett-Jones @Elliott190596]

@revslimiter @A1GOY @sniffpetrol @Carpervert A colleague of mine had a lovely Quad Fog in that striking blue for a few years, Fabulous to look at and listen to but it never felt particularly well screwed together and the interior just didn’t cut the mustard imo.

[Elliott Birkett-Jones @Elliott190596]

@sniffpetrol @A1GOY @Carpervert Thanking you both very muchly. Next step is to try both and see whether I gel with either. I’ll be sure not to bring any vapes or drum and bass cds with me so as not to give off the wrong vibes.

@MaximumAttackDT @A1GOY @sniffpetrol @Carpervert 😂

@sniffpetrol @A1GOY @Carpervert We’ve got 2 beagles and sprogs on back order but we have an Ioniq 6 for those duties. Her concern is that there may come a point where one of us needs to take dogs and the other children or visa versa and having 2 “practical” cars would be less troublesome

@MozzaRobertson @FootballManager Magic, Scottish Pyramid Financial bonanza incoming.

[Elliott Birkett-Jones @Elliott190596]

@MozzaRobertson @FootballManager If someone wanted to say, increase the prize money/commercial deal for some of the leagues. Would one be able to do that without breaking it 😂

[Elliott Birkett-Jones @Elliott190596]

@PeterMc_Dermott @SimonCarGuy @ShamiKalra @freddiecamp @Riz_F1 @markjohnoneill @MrJamesMay @raymasseytweets Think it depends on the quality of local specialists for that marque and what work needs doing. Also on whether you think maintaining full dealer history will help future value. I’d wager full history which includes specialists is just as good as full main dealer

[Elliott Birkett-Jones @Elliott190596]

@RyanDilks1 Oh god you’re not about to announce you’re pregnancy as well are you

@LateBrakeShow Can we get a Patreon special going through the various historical Jazz and Grot mags that were unearthed? 😂

@cleanforthewknd I don’t know what it is about it either…objectively it doesn’t really work, lots of mish-mash lines and non-complimentary aspects but I don’t know. I think maybe because nothing else looks like it on the road? Lexus have developed a very specific design language all of their own
