Dave Shepherd

Husband. Father. Engineer. And an unhealthy obsession with cars.

@MattTakeThree @jimloveswhisky You not see how it was driven in the film? 🤣

@ListerLawrence To be fair to it, it does appear to have more buttons than the current gen, post facelift.

@MattTakeThree @jimloveswhisky Remember when Performance cars used to be purposefully but not in you face like the current crop?

E39 M5, this, RS6, C43 etc.

@jakesoden @InspGadgetBlogs Recruitment isn't the problem, its the retention.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree Same.

Had one once follow me on Boxing Day all the way from my mums house to my own in Gainsborough. He breathalysed me, and then asked me why im driving around so early in the morning.

It was 9am.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree Very, although ive no idea why.

He seemed to have no knowledge of the show even happening. Despite it being one of the UKs biggest events and its held on his doorstep.

He was just a jobsworth.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree He asked me what I was doing. Mentioned that I was attending FOS. He then berated me saying that my car wasnt very nice, who would want to see that.

I was fucked off, but had to maintain the peace.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree I used to sleep in the car in a layby just outside of Chichester. Until I was rudely awoken by the police in the small hours accusing me of taking drugs.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree Like almost £100 each. Its ridiculous.

First time I went in 2006, it was £25 a ticket

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree Yeah. The wife was super generous and bought me tickets.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree No doubt it'll be at FOS in July, so my opinion could change.

But I doubt it will.

@MattTakeThree @Butterknifeopr8 Her moneys her money and your money is hers too.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree @Butterknifeopr8 She's bored of relying on her own money etc.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@TBrit90 And they'll utilise the remaining tail fitted 23's more to make up the shortfall.

Which means rushed maintenance periods, and less downtime for the ships companies, with leave periods potentially curtailed as a result.

And they wonder why they have a retention problem.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree So so many.

@joncoupland With people questioning whether hes actually disabled.

Theres a lot of jealousy going around. I think they expect them to only have a car on Mobility.

DISABLED PEOPLE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL TOO.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@joncoupland In Gainsborough, one of the successful local businessman has a new RR Phantom. Hes also disabled and therefore parks in the bays hes entitled to park in.

His car is ALWAYS on the local Facebook parking pages, with people seething that somebody disabled is better off than them.

[Dave Shepherd @Shepherd_Tweet]

@MattTakeThree Hes gone past that now I think.
