One of the UK's top 'car finders' Tweeting about the joys of running car-finding service @PalmdaleCarFind and other motoring related mayhem I get involved in

Here’s why I’ve decided to leave Twitter/X for now. I’m SO upset to go but know it’s the right thing for me to do.

Please connect with me on LinkedIn or Substack (both linked in thread below)…

🔘 A Palmdale announcement.

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@Danforrister Yep. Correct. Watch this space. Big announcement soon…

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

This is the last (probably ever) #SaturdaySelector. (The reason why will be revealed in a couple of days time.) But talk about ending on a high!!!!

[Palmdale Car Finders @PalmdaleCarFind]

🔘 The Grand Finale #SaturdaySelector

That's right, we are waving aurevoir to our legendary car conundrum❗

What could we possibly do for our last edition ❓
After much deliberation, it seemed only right to repeat the very FIRST one❗

8.5 years later, you know what to do..
🧵

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@PalmdaleCarFind HAS to be the Integrale. All options are excellent but one is more excellent than the rest. (It’s also the only one I’ve never driven.)

[Palmdale Car Finders @PalmdaleCarFind]

🔘 That's it folks, Grand Finale #SaturdaySelector❗

Circa 8.5 years & 440 editions of our weekend car conundrum❗

We've recreated the original & also wondering why the Audi UR Quattro wasn't in it⁉️

Thanks to

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

It’s been a year but #PassThePicasso is being put back on the road!!! 515,000 miles is only the beginning…

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@Neondancer Not yet!!!

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@FitzroyMotor Ain’t no dedication like a high-mileage dedication!!!
(That sounded better in my head.)

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

A client today sent me a couple of car brochures as a surprise thank you gift:
- Ferrari model line-up
- Dodge Viper RT/10 brochure
I am over the moon to receive these!!!
No idea why he thought I would like them, though… 🤣🤣🤣

@PeterLattimer On it!

Revealed: my latest purchase. A 2003 Smart Roadster 80.
It’s HUGE fun in a tiny car for less than £3k.
Sure, the gear changes take longer than the oil changes but this one comes from Roadster-expert James Walshe so it’s FULLY sorted with none of the usual gremlins.
Love it!!!

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@1Percenterer Yep! It has another 20 horses. That’s a 25% increase! Reduces the 0-60 time by a whole second… to 9.8!

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@1Percenterer It was!

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@mrjaydeeem @GeorgeNicolasUK It really is! Feel like you’re going fast… and you’re not. Perfect for city life!

[Ashley Winston @TheCarGuru]

@BW400CN I like these people!
