Replying to @elonmusk
You are clever Elon, but this tweet cheapens your achievements. It's also not funny. Much like me putting these two photos together.

I might just pin this and then read out the comments every week or two.

BMW, Audi and even Merc have completely lost their sparkle and creative vigour. You'd have to pay me to buy an EV of the aforementioned brands before I chose a Kia or Hyundai. The Koreans are king of battery cell tech, of warranty, of boundary pushing designs on cars that aren't

Hyundai have mic dropped the Internet today. Not just bold concepts that draw on the past, but bringing in future tech with them. Appealing to my 10yr old son, my 17yr old nephew and me. Bravo @Hyundai_UK

Bollocks. Utter, utter, blickered bullshit that feed those who presume that EVs are threatening their right to drive classic cars with interesting engines. It isn't. They are no exclusive. One actually feeds the other (because who'd daily drive a sodding '70s Lancia).

Dear @cardiffcouncil I believe you may have removed some cars that you weren't supposed to. The notice wasn't served lawfully and the owner is quite unwell. I think you need to contact me and get this resolved. Please RT this. @LateBrakeShow

Morning. Still amazed the number of people who think buying used cars is 'dirty' or a sign that you haven't got the funds. Strange. What do you think?

Stirling Moss was a dude, this we know. In many ways he was a cat with nine lives, but hearing of his death this morning is still very sad. #stirlingmoss

You might not want to hear this, but my break from social media has been very positive and I urge others to try it. There's a few changes in my personal life, but rest assured all you'll see here is car related bobbins. Thanks to everyone for the positive messages. J

The Nürburgring has lost its most famous female racing driver. Sabine Schmitz passed away far too early after a long illness. We will miss her and her cheerful nature. Rest in peace Sabine!
