Nice to have a bit of drama when filming. Car raced up the road, saw the water, went straight into reverse and smashed into the car behind. Comedy noises. Sound on for this one

@SWTrunkRoads @trafficscotland Hi @SWTrunkRoads would you be able to follow me back, please, so I can drop you a message? It's about a PA Motoring story regarding gritter names!

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

Gotta love a big slab of W12 Audi

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@writingsteven I'll add that on to the journey next time 😂

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

Tell you what, EV charging has improved massively over the last few years. Edinburgh to the south coast in two stops, totalling about 30 minutes overall. And yes I’m sure you could’ve done it in one go without eating, sleeping or going for a wee with a diesel Bora

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@au_tom_otive Yeah I can see that! Reading around 270 at 100%, but I reckon a long motorway trip leaves it around 210-220. I wasn't driving carefully, mind, and was mainly at 70mph etc with everything switched on

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

Here it is then - the new Peugeot E-208 GTi

This is an awful lot of pre-summer before actual summer. It’s making me worry what actual summer will be like. It’ll either be far too much actual summer, or not much actual summer at all.

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

BUT IT’S NOT EVEN A REAL

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@LobAllan @mctreckmeister I mean, let's be honest. I've said with the Capri, I think 85% of people who head into a dealership won't have the foggiest about the 'old' car. It's only in these circles where people are that bothered

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

Honestly, I don't know why people aren't Capri-levels of irked about this instead

@LobAllan But the original XC70 IS ICONIC, Lob

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

Should add it’s on 247,000kms!

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

I think as far as Waitrose car park spots go, this has to be at the top

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

Big ol’ day of driving the new Morgan Supersport. Tremendous weather for it

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@XRTROIKA Yeah I think if you had the M5 in green as well it’d be interesting. Like both in different ways. I’d probably still go ‘pina but been quite impressed by the M5

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

Interesting side by side with a B5 from the village and the M5 I’ve got on test at the moment. Which one you choosing?

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@BURLENCo Not sure why but I read 'Look at the subtlety of that B5' in this voice 😂

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@TomTalksCars @AutoInfatuation @hub3rt Ah I wouldn't really class Alpinas as modified. Well, the latest ones are hardly Halfords Fox Racing jobbies

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@TomTalksCars @AutoInfatuation @hub3rt How could you be anti-Alpina?!

[Jack Evans @jackrober]

@jimloveswhisky I don't mind it in the slightest, in fairness. Everyone kicked off about this one too!
