@RacingArmchair Moto rapido have said they're not running a Supersport bike in 2026

@OCDaboutCars @AutoInfatuation @tom550993 You expect a certain standard when paying £300k for a car that would be £350k in decent condition 🤷🏻‍♂️

@AutoInfatuation Can recommend the Stena plus lounge if going Scottish route, not hugely expensive and gives you a nice seating area with complimentary snacks and drinks.

@AutoInfatuation I go to Northern Ireland for motorcycle racing every year. The Liverpool boat for an overnight crossing for sure but if it's daytime I'd always go Stranraer/Cairnryan, it isn't the best drive but I'd rather do that than be sitting on a boat all day.

@Nickyboy714 @joncoupland Absolute tune tho back in the day in my Nissan Micra with Vibe subs 😂😂😂

@Nickyboy714 @joncoupland Hate to be one of those people but it's "junglist massive" 🙈

[Sam Palmer @PalmerPerf_]

@RacingArmchair Nope

@sniffpetrol Rovers from the mid eighties through to the 75 will always have a place in my heart as my dad had them as company cars all the way up until they folded. 200/800's x 3/600/75.....Owned 2 600's myself as a result, one of which was a 620Ti.....sweet sweet car 😁

@AutoInfatuation I've been self employed since 2013 but recently did similar and off the cuff applied for a pretty cool job one evening and have a 2nd stage interview for it next week. Also don't know how employment would be but worst case scenario I start my business back up again 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ProBikeUK Unpopular opinion...... motorcycle live is crap 🤷🏻‍♂️

@RacingArmchair I'm not a fan but he rocked up at a couple of the BSB tests on a pretty stock bike and made a lot of people look silly. Can't knock that. Be interesting to see where he ends up, especially with the current weather forecasts 🙈

[Sam Palmer @PalmerPerf_]

@AutoInfatuation Lane 2 is where I'm at 🙈😅

[Sam Palmer @PalmerPerf_]

@WorldSBK @SamLowes_22 In what world was that a moment? He's obviously got a tech issue and hung a foot out to warn the following rider before pulling off the racing line and putting his hand up. Wsbk social media, do better!

@denkmit @HoweJamie13010 Incorrect......Greenlight use GoPro Hero Sessions on standard GoPro clip mounts.... although they do have some bolt on mounts and occasionally just stick one on top of the dash too.

[Sam Palmer @PalmerPerf_]

@RacingArmchair Thanks, now it's going to be awful weather at Oulton isn't it 😅🤣

[Sam Palmer @PalmerPerf_]

@Mr1000CR SZ 😍

[Sam Palmer @PalmerPerf_]

@AutoInfatuation Volvo probably the sensible choice, BMW somewhere in-between....either LR just no....you know it'll be trouble!

[Sam Palmer @PalmerPerf_]

2025's weekend play-thing.....grateful for the opportunity to work with @_HawkRacing and John McPhee 😁😎

@Carpervert Most exciting passenger ride of my life was in a Opel variant down country lanes in the vicinity of Lotus in Norfolk 🫣😬😂. Would love one.
