Not only was the A110’s diffuser designed so that Alpine didn’t need to fit a rear wing, but it was also positioned at an optimum angle to allow labradoodles to use it as a sun shade #automotivedesign

I'm doing some A/B testing on whether Woollarding in a thumbnail will increase views to WC?'s YouTube channel. The jury is out.

I can hear @alantaylorjones hyperventilating from here.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@Tankslider That is an accurate summation 😂

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@Tankslider Have you seen this one, James? A proper brown pants moment. https://t.co/3zV08AAkRK

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@KathrynBatte He was a wonderful teacher. Encouraged me to pursue cross country running and took me out training in all conditions (and in his own time) without expecting anything in return. He will be missed ❤️

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

Turns out that it was a 128.3mph average. 🤯

[Jim Hunter @Jim_Hunter_MGP]

Thank you @M_Dunlop3 for making me feel 100% , totally INADEQUATE - jumps on the spare Travelling Marshal bike for a Parade Lap, no set up whatsoever and laps at 127.8mph😮😮💪💪

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@timrodie @A1GOY Just make sure if you do buy one, Tim, that you put some money aside for rear tyres.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

This thing is starting to feel rather long in the tooth, but it’s impossible not to be drawn in by its sonorous 5.0 V8. It even returned 35.1mpg on my two hour commute. As a used buy …

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@timrodie @A1GOY Agreed. GS F makes more sense. And rather ironically, when driven in an enthusiastic manner it shrinks around you in a way the smaller car doesn’t.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@AntonyWrites The Isle of Man TT with its truly superb TT + app shows that it can be done. Not only do you get live timing but they’ve worked out how to broadcast clear HD images from helicopters overhead.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@sdbikephoto What a shot 🤯

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@JordanKatsianis There’s a hint of silver to that green 😂

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

I take it back. I’d have my 296 GTB in whatever colour Ferrari Hatfield has spec’d their demonstrator.

[Lawrence Cheung @renzoinabenzo]

A fun drive into work this morning discussing how we'd spec a Ferrari 296 and I've accidentally ended up with a bit of a Lotus theme. I think it works quite well!

Exterior: Verde British Racing + Giallo modena
Interior: Iroko with yellow stitching.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

I like the idea behind the livery for Ferrari GB’s press car (it is based on the Maranello Concessionaires GB colour scheme of the ‘60s) but I’d have gone for something a little more subtle. No Assetto Fiorano pack and no carbon fibre trim, please.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

Public service announcement. When you finally get too old to skateboard (or perhaps you weren’t very good in the first place) a deck can make a nice addition to your garage wall. #lanzante

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

After naming our wee boy Dino, we had to make sure he got a picture with the spiritual successor to the Ferrari Dino 246 GT.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@PHMattB The best M car of all time?

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@alandowds @timrodie @BMWMotorrad Love it.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

Unless you have access to a private helicopter, I’m not sure there is a better way to commute into London.

[Neil Winn @NeilBWinn]

@alandowds @timrodie @BMWMotorrad I think I missed the golden age of riding in general. The UK isn't the most friendly place to ride a superbike.
