@AutoPap I have one of your photos as my lock screen. As close as I'll ever get!

[Mike Costello @Mike_j_Costello]

@AutoPap These have a special place in my heart. I was 23 and started working in a Jag dealership when I was thrown the keys to a brand new one of these to drive 5 or 6 miles. The noise and power was completely alien to me at the time.

@StarWars0nly @MickRing83 I immediately thought of you!

[Mike Costello @Mike_j_Costello]

@DavidJParsons @AutoPap I think this is a masterstroke from Jaguar's PR team. Their sole function is to enhance brand recognition and to get people talking. They've done it spectacularly because now everyone is holding their breath to see what their new car will actually look like

[Mike Costello @Mike_j_Costello]

@AutoPap Due to the Draconian Co2 based registration tax in Ireland, a new M5 is cheaper than a new M3!

[Mike Costello @Mike_j_Costello]

@AutoPap @BobFlavin @harrismonkey In Ireland, due to our Draconian emissions based registration taxes, a brand new BMW M5 is significantly cheaper than a new BMW M3.

@timoldland There's a Carmine Red tourismo local to me. It's absolutely stunning

@PaliparanDotCom One of the quirks of the Hi-B is that mobile phones are banned. If you're seen using one, you're quickly asked to leave!

@AlexBrundle One of the reasons I bought a 2003 Mini Cooper last year as a toy. It's completely analogue while still having the basic safety systems

@TheBishF1 @JensonButton Anyone who saw Canada 2011 will never need reminding of how good he was!

@TheBishF1 @Brands_Hatch @BTCC @diagonalcomms First racetrack I went to about 20 years ago. Sitting on in the grandstand watching rallycross. I was amazed you could see the whole track

@StripeyMiata So while his 1924 Austin limousine and 1952 Triumph are much nicer cars, they require a lot more care. And the truth is, most couples don't care. They want something nice for the photos with a ribbon on the front that will get them to the church/reception on time.

[Mike Costello @Mike_j_Costello]

@StripeyMiata My father in law runs a wedding car business. Has 3 of these amongst others. Am I a fan, no. But from a business point of view, they make sense. More reliable, less maintenance, less wear/tear when driven over distance, don't need to be trailered to/from distant weddings.

That is some world class trolling by An Post!

[evan kate @evankate760]

Burkes never not at it. Complaining about their post being delivered in An Post van with pride colours & bród/pride written on it. There's just over two weeks before Enoch returns to Wilson's Hospital School and the whole shitshow begins again. Thoughts with the school *sigh*.

@SkySportsF1 Does this mean you'll be bringing back @johnnyherbertf1? You know, an expert who can bring something constructive to your coverage?

@paul_winginit Sardines on a plane? Brave choice!
