Banter w/ @JeremyClarkson & Andy Wilman:"Can we do a rehearsal?" "NO!" "Why?" "Cause we've run out of money." :D #TheGrandTour #GTCalifornia https://t.co/S1bkNDwlx4

@MrJamesMay Out of curiosity, do you still issue birthday greetings? I reached a major age milestone today.

(By the way, I got the JG.04 and JG.05 versions to mark the occasion!)

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

@TMobileHelp Thanks! Still waiting to hear back from you though.

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

@TMobileHelp Heads up, a DM has been sent to your inbox today. Waiting to hear back from you!

To contribute to the debate of what defines a supercar, I found this interesting answer from #Lamborghini at their Miura display at #MontereyCarWeek claiming to be the first. Your thoughts @sniffpetrol @Carpervert? 🤔

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

Here’s a topic that might be worth discussing on your main podcast @sniffpetrol @Carpervert. 🤔

[Jalopnik @Jalopnik]

Some cars are just old, but others are truly obsolete. Here are the key differences between timeless classics and dead automotive technology. https://t.co/DmOupSkYdg

Perhaps it’s just me, but @MrJamesMay is currently in America now and might disagree with Clarkson’s opening assessment regarding San Francisco. 🤔

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

"I used to look forward to flying home from America but compared to Florida, England looks like it’s been attacked by badgers."

Welcome back to our country, good sir! As for that bottled water, erm… 🇺🇸

[James May @MrJamesMay]

Uh?

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

Just ask @MrJamesMay @RichardHammond for hobby ideas. They even did a whole podcast on the topic! From @JeremyClarkson Times #column: “I think the problem is that apart from drinking, I don’t have a hobby. If I did, I could fill my days more cheaply…” https://t.co/T5Mshrn69D

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

The fact that an article like this is even needed for safely covering news events in the United States is a bit telling. 🤔 #journalism #news

[Poynter @Poynter]

Keep the cameras rolling. Stay on the edge of the crowd. Safety first, story second.

Perhaps it’s just an effect of watching @MrJamesMay food videos over the years, but I got really excited when this Lurpak spreadable butter pack appeared on my @united flight from MNL to SFO last week. 🧈✈️

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

@MrJamesMay Here’s to hoping you visit this lovely country soon! Also, Happy New Year. 🎆

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

Hello @MrJamesMay, guess what? I’m currently in the #Philippines observing the New Year and introduced the locals to your gin! They enjoyed it mixed in with your preferred tonic water too (but with yuzu lemon added!). Cheers… 🇵🇭

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

@Maguireisfit @MrJamesMay I’m in a remote area in Luzon close to Batangas City, which itself is a 3-hour drive south of Manila.

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

@MrJamesMay Merry Christmas to you and your kin as well, good sir! 🤗🎄

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

ROFL! From #column: “Just last week, [Donald Trump] said that there are people who take no pills at all, and they are not autistic. But that’s a rubbish argument. It’s like saying you know someone who never eats tomatoes, and they have multiple sclerosis.” 😂

Too much coddling is making us ill, but I’m not sure raging against paracetamol is the answer | ✍️ Jeremy Clarkson https://t.co/A43IjrcJmQ

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

@MrJamesMay Thank you for the greeting, good sir! By the way, your gin pairs nicely with street tacos, which are available at many fine Mexican restaurants out here in California.

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

Hello @MrJamesMay, are you still in the business of issuing birthday greetings? I bought one of your gins (London Drizzle) to mark the occasion for myself today. 😅

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

@sniffpetrol Before the event starts, perhaps you should ask the museum for permission to use any part of their recording in a future podcast episode! That way, it won't all get lost to history... 😅

[Isaiah N @AsianStig]

With all due respect, you have nothing to fear, good sir. Never forget that the current owner of this website tried to take you down over that firm but fair electric car review you did on Top Gear many years ago, and you won in court against him not once, but twice!

For the first time in my life, I’m genuinely frightened about being a newspaper columnist.
