@astweetedbyRP @DavidRoseHRL MST cars make their MK1 Escort, without any modified wheelbase, starting at £85000. The price of these ones is absolutely ridiculous.

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@BBC_TopGear Sorry should read MST

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@BBC_TopGear Just buy a Mk1 from MSR and save yourself £170-210000 depending on spec.

@cole_marzen Just a Nissan Ariya

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@Only9built All the gear, no idea! 🤦🏻

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@timpitt100 Save a fortune and buy a Mark 1 from MST. This does look very nice but £295000 for a mk1 Escort 😱

@Timoldland 1 Nardo grey & similar are crap colours that look like polished primer
2 Black alloys look like the wheel trims have fallen off/been nicked
3 BMWs are horrendous in RHD with steering wheel & pedals offset & nowhere near as reliable reputation suggests

@MonsterBrunch @Grand_Ole_Evan See the "Scotch Professors" who were sought after by English teams to teach that game. Arsenal, Rosario,Sevilla, Millwall and Sunderland & English Football League were founded by Scots. (2)

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@MonsterBrunch @Grand_Ole_Evan The oldest surviving football in the world is Scottish & found in the Queen's Chambers in Stirling Castle. From 1540s. Football was first outlawed in Scotland in 1424 under the Football act of 1424.

The pass & move game of football that we know as football today was Scottish.(1)

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@backforhowlong @DrinksLibTear @NYCMayor The modern game was played by the Scots, the English game was different which is why English teams used to sign what they call "Scotch Professors" to teach the pass & move game the world.plays today. Many clubs in England & world wide founded by Scots.

@Rassokhin1 @x this is the latest batch of scam ads that proliferate on here. First it was Martin Lewis, then " you won't beleive what happened after the camera stopped rolling" etc.

I know you get paid but come on basic auto scanning would pick these up & they have been reported

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@YorkSmit2323 @ph409hhh It is being lobbied for. Meta have spent millions to get on device age verification as it means they can never be held liable for content or tracking on a minors phone as the phone told them they were over 18 for example. Also makes profiling more accurate.

@ListerLawrence @GrailArchive Wouldn't that just be a Jaguar XJ? The car that Thiery Bollere cancelled when it was near enough ready for production.

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@Strathavenbear @StuartM89899952 @MunchMrs No they haven't. Any car that is over 40k has been in place since 2017 and is for first 5 years. They have not leapt up massively. Cars that are covered by this tax are charged £200 pa (+£440 over 40k) last year it was £195 (+£425). A rise of £20

Took a few minutes to realise what he'd done... that's going to hurt! 😬

[TaraBull @TaraBull]

Next time he should definitely wear his hard hat on the job

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@ListerLawrence @XH_Lee23 Yet if I did that by myself to get its 3pts and a fine!!

Must be really solid tyres though with next to no grip, not a mark on the tarmac.

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@aphillip712 @MoMohler Exactly the same as small players are not necessarily more skillful. Skill is skill, height is height. Smaller players have an advantage with a lower centre of gravity. It all depends on natural skill & the movements the body trains for. (2)

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@aphillip712 @MoMohler Jan Kohler enters the chat 6ft 8in 91 caps for Czech Republic & 55 goals. Played in Czech league, Belgain, French, German top leagues.

Seen many 6ft 4-6ft 5in players with great control & ball skills. Some tall players can look awkward but height has nothing to do with skill (1)

@ContractMatcher @ListerLawrence 😄 I did have a 3 door 25 1.4iS in 2001. Needed to get something I could afford to run compared to an S40 T4, could certainly get a good average speed on a country road!!

[Andrew Hopkins @F19ADH]

@ListerLawrence Some fantastic and very expensive cars, but from that lot I think I'd slum it in the Morgan. There is something very timeless about them.
