@ListerLawrence That’s my favourite game - guess what’s under the cover. Those headlamps are unmistakable but a couple of people were already correct sadly.

@ListerLawrence My Mercedes cl65 amg was hilariously unreliable. It worked about 20% of the time and the suspension was fixed 9 times in 4 years. It was wonderful when the v12 was on song though.

Why is it @Hertz that whenever I try to use your 24/7 app it finds new ways to disappoint? Today’s is that it won’t work at all and is completely down. Last time it refused to recognise a booking. What’s the point of it if it never works?

@ListerLawrence My parents had one briefly when I was about 16ish, it was a really good car, smooth, surprisingly fast, spacious inside. Unfortunately it was absolutely gopping. If you were in it you couldn’t see it though

@oracles I live in Cascais and fly back to the UK every other week. Lisbon Airport is absolutely dreadful. Ive missed flights, been stuck for hours, half the officials don’t know the rules. It’s awful. On saying that I live in a beautiful place and my kids get to grow up here. 🤷‍♂️

Cormac McCarthy’s estate is auctioning off his 1995 Lotus Esprit S4S on Hagerty Marketplace, if you’re interested. 18k miles. Highest bid is currently $2,600 (I expect it to go a good deal higher, of course). Close of auction is April 27th.

@davetv67 @MrJamesMay @almurray Not to mention that the tyre was invented in Scotland and was most definitely spelt tyre.

[Chris Grove @EnglishChapInPT]

@mookiewilson86 @davetv67 @MrJamesMay @almurray First invented and perfected? So Germany. I’m not sure they spell it either way.

I’ll give you mass produced.

Founders often discover what buyers want during due diligence.

Which is… not ideal.

So we built The Exit Strategy Lab.

Free modules, due diligence questionnaires, data room request lists and a sellability score.

Completely free. No catch.

@ListerLawrence @bydarrenstyles I just do not understand why every car on the road now is white black or grey. That Bentley looks stunning in red, I hope seeing how good these cars look changes the fashion for boring coloured cars!

This guy lost his daughter because of an incorrectly installed guardrail that killed her in a motor vehicle crash.

He's devoted his life to finding these incorrect installs and getting local governments to fix them.

Have you a think on that.

@Old_SchoolEddie 7 - I need an aisle seat because I’m far too tall for plane seats and I don’t want someone sat immediately next to me.

@JamesMelville The bends - Radiohead. I know most people think ok computer but the bends was how I discovered them and it came out when I was 16 so has huge memories attached.
