Ventured into a branch of @TheRangeUK. Do they all look like they’ve been burgled, or is the Stevenage shop special?

@smorgasbord @sniffpetrol It’s not one of her biggest tracks.

The clever new Kia EV3 is our Car of the Year 2025. With great design, high levels of technology and a long driving range, it deserves to be on every buyers’ shortlist. Discover why it won by checking out our review and video: https://t.co/P6KiBJsUdC

@GrahamBAJones It is not.

This Range Rover is for sale at BCA. All looks good right? No strange warning lights or anything? Hang on a minute….

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

Spotted on a dog walk. This has to be an ex press fleet vehicle. No normal van buyer would choose this spec. I love it though.

Just in time for Halloween, the ghost of the original factory build sticker has appeared in the condensation on the windscreen of my son’s ⁦@SEATUK⁩ Ibiza. You can’t see any sign of it usually and the car is 12 years old!

Someone appears to be advertising a car for sale using pictures taken by a speed camera. Shows it drives well, I guess.

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

Given that the new Ford Explorer is based on a VW, I wonder if someone in the licensing department is being a bit cheeky with this? Spotted in Sainsbury’s.

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

Thought I’d pop in to check out the spanking new ⁦@ElecHighway ⁦@GRIDSERVE_HQ⁩ hub at Knebworth, just up the road from home. It smells of fresh carpet and coffee.

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

If you don’t like someone, I can recommend feeding them just a few of these sugar free sweets from ⁦@LidlGB⁩ They’re delicious, but mean you daren’t venture far from the nearest lav for 12 hours #comingoutofmelikelava

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

@RichardGledhill @ElectrifyingCom It’s working fine for me. Are you still having problems?

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

Making the most of ⁦the ⁦@OctopusEnergy⁩ free power hour.

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

@perfectionvalet Blowtorch to loosen the adhesive and then a Brillo pad, yeah?

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

@AntonyWrites That dealer seems to be buying up a lot of nice spec L322s and putting them up at ambitious prices. His stock is always the most expensive on Auto Trader. I wonder if it will steer the market a bit.

The first two are a Scottish person looking for their Vauxhall.

[Tom Barnard @TomBarnardWords]

@AntonyWrites @UPnDOWNvids I have one somewhere, I’m sure. Must check it’s still there.
