@roadratmagazine @Angus_MacK Not had a proper read yet but was very happy when this landed yesterday. A great publication of the highest standard. The quality of the print is like no other and the articles are written beautifully. Only trouble is I have 1-8 sleeves!

@PaddyMcGuinness Lovely mate. God bless you all and for shining a light on how we can do more to be open and considerate to others. We’re all made of the same stuff, but should welcome any differences. Your gang are bloody brilliant X

@GaryUsher_ @rich_sharples Nice job mate and congrats. Feels weird cause this is Twitter and nobody knows anyone or anything here so weird to congratulate but genuinely like what you do. I enjoyed it with a Stella and anyone willing to help another is golden.

@perfectionvalet Lovely engine. Worked on so many but it kills my ocd when I don’t see the screws all lined up on the brake reservoir

Shit people leave their shit everywhere. Scum leave their scum everywhere. Be clean, tidy and respectful and guess what, you’re most likely a good person.

@AutoPap Anyone see the mask from the movie Scream?

@LewisHamilton Different levels of good balance

@TomBlackmore90 Personally, I would be quite pleased if that was my driveway

@harrismonkey @Litchfield_UK Can’t believe Harry Metcalfe has done this. What does he expect next, a Litchfield suspension mod on the combine harvester!! Unbelievable

@Lease4wheels @AutoPap Main dealer targets and margins (generally an average of 14% from experience) means competing with leasing is tough. We’re already seeing so many online companies being able to supply cars. Another industry being disrupted, maybe in a good way? All about adapting the offering.

@AutoPap It’s an interesting conversation, I hadn’t actually put affordability into it, just intrigued by their approach. It’s odd but in my mind the way people buy cars now is so disposable (I don’t mind, I PCP) and maybe they have to adapt to non traditional ways of selling.

Nobody should apologise when they cry. Nobody should cry alone. Be kind to everyone you have the fortune to engage with.

@hannahburgesspr Oh wow, golden bit of info! We had a 15 plate R that made no such noise, now have a 19 plate R and get a rattle/reverberated hum on low low revs. Never realised that was the cause. Thanks!

@BahnstormerTom Couldn’t agree more. My wife who is the most bubbly person in the world has struggled recently, WFH for 10 months and now not being able to see family at Xmas has put me into a spin too whilst also trying to be a rock and to think of those around me. It’s good to talk.

@MrJWW Lovely car mate, congratulations. Truely one of the greats. Just needs the Aston chrome on the front. 👌

@PaulCowland_ @AudiUK Considering the times I can’t imagine anyone ignoring a potential sale. Base wages aren’t enough to live on in that environment so it’s all about selling and commission. Hopefully we can spread some positivity on the dealerships. Likeretail outlets I wonder how many will survive

[Car Chat @trimmerstale]

@PaulCowland_ @AudiUK I worked dealer side for many years including Audi and it’s wrong to be ignored if there is a salesperson or receptionist free. Saturdays were heavily targeted on appointments though so out of 10 sales people rarely were we free for walk ins. Still have fiends in the trade and...

@AutoPap @ReepGroup Nice touch! Maybe in matte black though to give a better effect.....

@TomBlackmore90 Beautiful. On our 2nd Golf R now and have a hankering for one of these. Especially when we’re looking at doing UK road trips opposed to abroad hols at the moment!
