nostalgic for glamour that never happened

@dan_of_steele @LUDENClassics It certainly felt a bit more solid and serious after the 355. Plus no engine out belt services, new ali chassis etc. 430 (which is basically a facelift 360) took the sturdiness and usability one step further still. Proper di Montezemolo era stuff: 360, 550.

@HubNutVids Nobody uses the inside lane anyway so it's net neutral

@hjwakerley @TheTFJJ I don’t think anyone actually saw this reply. Maybe cos all my followers are (were) bots

[arthurstrilby @arthurstrilby]

@hjwakerley @TheTFJJ Ha, a recognisable car. Knew I had this photo somewhere, think it was one of the first 458s I’d seen in the flesh. Anyway, maybe it’s nice to have an old pic… 9th April 2011 at Maranello. Presumably when Evans was selling it.

@bikehubjapan I have a 2.7 987 and love it. The fact it’s not that fast is the best bit - you can actually use the throttle for more than a couple of seconds without losing your license. Anyone deriding the Boxster and Cayman hasn’t driven one

[arthurstrilby @arthurstrilby]

@NGAutoArt @RSL_Studio @Lamborghini Superb. Will there be prints? I’d love one.

@thealso I remember my Elise pissing green coolant everywhere when the radiator went pop

[arthurstrilby @arthurstrilby]

@joncoupland Liner heights… dowels… getting flashbacks to HGF in my Elise 😣

@Vxr_racing @AutoPap I think that’s the Ratarossa car. Wonder if he’s finally sold it

@joncoupland Love those cookies. Buy in bulk and freeze

[arthurstrilby @arthurstrilby]

@AutoPap What? Surely that’s ULEZ compliant. I’ve got something older, with the same engine, and that’s no problem.

[arthurstrilby @arthurstrilby]

@AntonyWrites Everything’s too bright. Headlights, brake lights, traffic lights, street lights. Teslas worst of the car offenders. Have a look at how many fail their first MOT on headlight alignment

@Carpervert @jamesinyk Is that water supposed to be in the pit?

[arthurstrilby @arthurstrilby]

@jonbradbury @OCDaboutCars @ECUTesting I had a gear selector module repaired about 9 months ago, turnaround was 4 days from them receiving it to me reinstalling it in the car.

@yenwod_ @FormulaDeltaOne depends on the market (generally no) but really i meant a lot of the exchanges have exchange-side protection eg pull all my quotes in underlying x if i get hit n times

[arthurstrilby @arthurstrilby]

@yenwod_ @FormulaDeltaOne market maker protection is your friend

@LUDENClassics @BonhamsCars Would still love one of these to smoke about London in. Preferably in brown

@Youngy13895080 @hjwakerley @ShamiKalra I was going to say centro storico Fiat in Turin but google suggests it’s closed. Anyone know why? Lack of volunteers?
