@johnmcilroy @AutoExpress @CarbuyerUK Pleasure working with you at AE, mate! Best of luck with what's next

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

It me! Lovely to don lycra and tag along with team Ford again for @RideLondon 100 this year. Two weeks on and I've just about recovered...

[Ford UK @forduk]

Sometimes 2 wheels are better than 4.

Another year as title partner of @RideLondon, and we couldn’t be prouder. Thank you to everyone who came out and rode, cheered or volunteered 👏

@WilkiWheels How does it compare to the Kasteel Barista Chocolate Quad I pressured you into drinking at De Hems...?

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

Anyone fancy discounted Monaco Historique tickets? My brother's no longer able to go and has a pair going - grandstand B Sat, grandstand O Sun

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

@Mufga @motomatters @matoxley Not bikes, but Toyota ran a hydrogen burning car in an endurance race a few years ago. Managed about 15 laps or 36 miles on each full tank...

Interesting idea but it burns so fast I can't see it ever being practical for cars or bikes.

Advert for our R53 Mini Cooper S is now live. Any questions, feel free to DM. Discount available for Twitter/X people...

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

There'll be a more detailed ad going up with lots of pics etc but TL;Dr it'd benefit from a bit of love, but it's perfectly useable as is and ticks all the major boxes (LSD, the right exhaust, post-facelift etc)

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

Right, who wants an R53 Mini Cooper S, or knows someone who does?

Good stuff:

- Factory LSD
- Milltek stainless catback
- PS4s
- Recent-ish new clutch

Less good:

- Some cosmetic imperfections
- Air-con doesn't work
- Few advisories on the last MOT

108k miles, £2750

A brilliant car I'd have happily kept for many more years, but it's time for something new (and van-shaped...)

Go well, Yeti!

[Tom ‘Wookie’ Ford @tomwookieford]

The non-project project car. Skoda Yeti CR. Manual, diesel, AWD. UN-spec white. Known past two owners @theseoldcars and @matt_201 … you can probably see where this is going already… 😇🤪 #steelwheels

@SkewLeader @visordown Difference with the CMA's suggestion is that the data would be supplied by the retailers, rather than members of the public as is the case with PP. The data would be open source so could be integrated with something like Google Maps. No telling it'd make any difference, ofc!

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

@stuartjmilne @Haymarket_Media @whatcar Congrats Stu!

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

@VickyParrott @Carpervert @CarGurusUK I suppose the Ford E-Tourneo Courier channels some of the same vibes, but it's no Yeti. I love ours - so much practicality in a compact package.

PS @Carpervert - if you ever choose to sell the Element, please do drop me a DM...

[Matt Robinson @Matt_201]

@AllieCrooks I kept it really quiet...
