Never meet your heroes.... Unless they are named Rafael Nadal.... #VamosRafa #Wimbledon2022 we had a chat and I asked politely (while apologising British style) about taking a photo.... Thank you @RafaelNadal

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@AutoPap Thought it was being sold (at quite a low price)... Glad you've held onto it... Lovely.... Hope to find an LHD one to mess about in Europe one day...

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@AutoPap Oslo, I'm a sucker for blues.... Some other lovely blues too, like Yachting Blue and Maritime....

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@AutoPap S213 E63S is a good bit of kit….. Currently on winter tyres and wafting through Europe. Possibly one of their last hits.

@ThamiMasemola And then the ad with Madonna in NYC, also for the E39 M5… A good era of cars and adverts….. Still need to own E39 M5 at some point.

@TomBlackmore90 Big fan…… but I’m biased of AMG wagons 😉 and I wish mine had clear class.

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@AutoPap Sad to miss your car and you… what time did you arrive/leave? Never know how to time Southside Hustle, despite my parents living really nearby.

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@Spamsalotnow @OldLondonW14 @christiancalgie Hearing lots of different reports about what happened @metpoliceuk @MPSHammFul is there an official statement? I’d like to know as a cyclist on king street what happened….

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@TGE_LDNM Yikes. Where in London was that one?

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@SuffolkJedward @AutoPap Lovely. Folding buckets too….

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@ScottCrabby @BenjiNaesen @itvcycling Loved the ITV coverage this year, great voices of sport…. Such a shame @LeTour won’t be free to watch as for the depart in Scotland. Cc @SportsOrla @ITVSport @nedboulting

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@cars_pixels That is a lovely spec. Faster in the real world than a GT3 just missing that engine… but love you can have adaptive cruise and Burmeister, etc and use it as a daily too…..

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@AutoPap Will the Lotus engineering and consultancy live on at Hethel? That is what they do best anyway?

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@AutoPap Love the coloured spoiler…. How are the new seats compared to 918s or the previous folding buckets? Hope to see it in person somewhere….

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@MintyGts Made the switch from P Seros to PS4Ss on my GTS and road noise dropped too… Just into my second set of rears 😬

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@el_drapo I mean, it is perfect. Silver and blue leather 🤤 The Ss seem to be a small fraction of the 993 turbos too? But yes, crazy money, I think I’d buy a regular one for 200k less and buy a 991 touring…..

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@whoiskatrin @FIAWEC @COTA oh and I'd like @ValeYellow46 to do well at LeMans too.

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@whoiskatrin @FIAWEC @COTA mainly a friend who is in the GT3 class (James C #59 McLaren)... Intrigued to see how the Aston Martins get on in the Hypercars..... I've been to Le Mans x2 but both rainy editions, which takes some of the joy out of hanging out and spectating....

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@AutoPap Think the targa is the best looking of the 992 generations. Works well with the bulkier looks.

[rupertbaker @rupertbaker]

@ThatShelbyChap @1_spence this is a nice looking 991.2 gts if you are still looking https://t.co/hnOsIqACnl just needs silver wheels...
