Sun's out, so took this out for a spin. It gave me a chance to try its new exhaust for the first time (verdict: it sounds brilliant now). I'll be looking to move it on at some point this year, though, so if you know someone who might be interested...

@sniffpetrol We shot a retro twin test for AE a little while back. They were kind enough to let us borrow these two sweet, sweet cars

Our next Smith and Sniff live show will be a special one. It's at Great British Car Journey in Derbyshire and it's to raise money for Mission Motorsport. There'll be a pub quiz, a raffle and many other things, all for a great cause.

@Seancockram @ChrisGoffey I'd always argue strongly against people scrapping perfectly good, older cars, but to be honest it would've been better for the planet to have never bothered with the A2's existence and just have an AX diesel instead - but why draw such an arbitrary a line under progress?

@Seancockram @ChrisGoffey Love the A2 - disagree with the point. If petrol/oil etc that the A2 regularly uses grew on trees, rather than being drilled/refined/shipped around the world, then maybe the argument would hold up. And battery recycling will be huge - too much money in that for it to not happen

One thing I like about buying a 26 year old car is giving the finger to EVs ..I truly believe driving an old car that still does 50mpg is so much better for the planet than EVs that all there parts and batteries from all over the globe and I believe no economic answer to recycle

@CustomCvd @flaneurUK Hi! In the 10 years I spent being a motoring journo, that fear never crossed my mind. And I doubt many, if any, of my former peers gave it a second thought either

@flaneurUK Not being funny but car reviews have gone the same way as film & movie critical reviews. They won't be brutally honest & savage anything anymore out of fear they won't be invited to the next launch etc.🤔

BYD adds to its UK media team, but interestingly Alex is still publishing stories over on Auto Express this month... bydukmedia.com/en/news-articl… Given that the interview and job offer must have predated the 11 December press release it does question the editorial bias of Auto Express with over 10 articles published since the announcement. Though since AE is now owned by Carwow that it perhaps not a surprise?

@adrianfclarke Hi Adrian! I believe we've met briefly before - I think you get along with my brother Ant? Nothing stinky here. I'd happily answer any questions to avoid any more conclusion-jumping, but I wrote *a lot* in my last month at AE: x.com/AxleIngram/sta…

and, @flaneurUK, forgive me for taking an amazing career opportunity after 10 brilliant years as a motoring journo (most of which was spent at Auto Express)

... Ariel Atom and a Caterham Seven, a twin test between the Merc CLA and a Tesla Model 3... and that's just the stuff I remember just now. Not surprising that all of that is still filtering through online! Sorry that I, and my former colleagues, work really hard!

@aohereng Nice. It's a good incentive for your child to brush up on their Italian - parts are much easier to come by over there than they are in the UK!

The word icon can be overused, but not in the case of the PEUGEOT 205 GTi. Symbolic of automotive excellence and the benchmark for every hot hatch since its 1984 launch. Here are 10 reasons why the @PeugeotUK 205 GTi deserves its legendary status.➡️bit.ly/45fMwIR

It's the Hire Car "Or similar..." game! I've arrived in Milan and picked up a hire car. I booked a Jeep Avenger EV, or similar, from Europcar. What have I got?

@HolmesTW @PorscheGB We all started the day unsure about it. It looks quite... 1970s, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Over the course of the day, some people grew less fond of it (my driving partner @TedWelford, for instance), but I quite like it. It's an unusual yellow, that's for sure.

Finished the day driving a 992.2 @PorscheGB 911 #Carrera #S in the bold colour of #Cartagena #Yellow. While I can't say *what* changes they make to the driving experience due to embargo, there was a suspension difference: the red car had the 10mm-lower PASM Sport chassis fitted.

I don’t usually go for F1 stuff but a large stash of kit from an ex-Renault team man has found me. It’s mainly rucksacks plus kitbags of various sizes. Note Mild Seven items are tobacco branded. DM me with enquiries

@JDennisonCars A shame that the driver on the inside knows they can just release the brake enough to make the apex first, regardless of whether they will make the corner or not. Credit to Verstappen for playing to the rather dodgy rules very well
