@WRCPAST Too many cycle and bus lanes now, plus speed bumps! I've never been to Birmingham properly but I absolutely didn't know there was a race circuit once upon a time, it's brilliant to see.

@danielteee Epic isn’t it. Why can we have this now 🥹 Guess cities are basically not race car friendly now

🇬🇧 1988 Birmingham Super Prix The Ferodo MG Metro 6R4 Trophy The 1988 Birmingham Super Prix remains one of the most unique chapters in British motorsport history, and the appearance of the MG Metro 6R4 during that weekend is a highlight for rally and street-race enthusiasts alike. While the main event was the Formula 3000 race, the "Street Bike" and "Rover Turbo" support races brought diverse machinery to the tight, bumpy streets of Birmingham. At the end of 1986, Group B had been banned from international rallying, meaning these "monsters" were primarily seen in rallycross or special invitation events. Seeing a 6R4—a car designed for forest tracks and gravel—navigating the concrete-lined curbs of the Bristol Street circuit was a jarring, thrilling sight. The naturally aspirated 3.0L V64V engine provided a distinct, high-pitched mechanical roar that echoed off the Birmingham city buildings, sounding vastly different from the turbocharged F3000 cars. With its short wheelbase and four-wheel-drive system, the 6R4 was incredibly "pointy" on the 90-degree street corners, though it struggled for top-end speed compared to the long-geared circuit cars on the straightaways. The presence of the 6R4 represented the height of British Leyland/Austin Rover’s ambition, even if the Group B era it was built for had already vanished. Sadly the Birmingham Super Prix itself only lasted until 1990 due to financial losses, lack of a private backer, and the failure of a second authorizing Bill in Parliament.

@ATwinspark Off topic but spotted a previous gen Vectra estate today 👌🏻

Extremely weird spot today. Very normal Vectra estate diesel, but inexplicably on a Q plate and not registered till 2016 despite the Vectra going out of production in 2010. I regret not asking the owner what the story was as I’m bewildered

Here is another of my regular bank holiday weekend requests where I ask you all for great album recommendations. It doesn’t matter what era or genre. Best album recommendation wins a retweet. 🎶

@JamesMelville Have to disagree with you here, James! A bonkers idea.

Switzerland 🇨🇭 Solar panels on train tracks. A hell of a lot more logical than plastering over prime farmland.

@amacmediapix @SonyUK Wow!!

I went out recently to capture some night sky images of the Milky Way over Loch Doon castle in Scotland on a beautiful clear night using my new to me @SonyUK for a selfie, some light painting & a time lapse

@DavidJChalmers It was a good game and don't be daft, I don't think it will have entered anyone's mind, certainly not mine. It's a good way to get out the house and just a scoreline at end of the day 😊

@danielteee Cheers again for the game of 5's tonight pal - hope the lads aren't too annoyed at some of the goals I let in!

@lizzy_mac38 @JamesMelville To be fair it was made even busier because Sainsbury's was ran dry. I am not a Costco member but ended up going to Asda. I had 40 miles range left and had to bite the 171.9 per litre bullet!

@JamesMelville Same at Costco Straiton. Utter madness what we are living through and all because of one mad man.

The effect of the Iran war is already showing in people’s panic buying behaviour in my local community. Massive queues for petrol at my local petrol station. Never seen it as busy.

@WRCPAST Would love to see their return at WRC Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

WRC Rumours 🇯🇵 Subaru WRC Subaru is heavily rumored to be planning a return to the top-tier World Rally Championship (WRC) by 2027, likely utilizing an all-wheel-drive turbocharged BRZ or a new, small hatchback platform. The manufacturer is developing an AWD rally-spec BRZ for the 2026 All Japan Rally Championship, and may receive engine support from Toyota.  Could we see one of the biggest names in the past return to the WRC?? I really hope so 🇯🇵 🙏🏻🙏🏻 📷 Subaru 👏🏻👏🏻 #wrc #subaru #japan

@NotoriousBAG_ @BHAJacob He wasn't worse than Du Wei 👀

@BHAJacob Shane Duffy was an excellent defender for Brighton and he’s the worst centre half I’ve ever seen play for Celtic ever

He's not, he plays in the Scottish league, Matt O'Riley was a God in Glasgow and he's one of the worst midfielders I've ever seen put on a Brighton shirt in the Premier league era #Bhafc

A lovely end to the day @TheWallaceMon

@Stephen4_2 Always think of Juninho when I see this kit.

Umbro Celtic advert from 2004. This was their last season as kit supplier. This wasn't one of their better efforts.

@EilidhCarr Amazing! Quite a journey it's travelled over to the West!

@danielteee Found a photo online of the complete base ☺️ so cool

Some of today's beach finds 😍 #OuterHebrides

@fbizinc @DJSuperLemon1 I was in here today. It didn't occur to me why it's an L shape inside.

@DJSuperLemon1 The pub looks bigger on the outside ... clever how they used it to hide an air shaft for the railway tunnel.

@ATRightMovies I think the scene in Deep Impact on the highway where the girl says goodbye to her parents with Elijah, always touches a nerve !

@ATRightMovies Still game

@MSportLtd @OfficialWRC @JonArmstrong84 @MIRallyAcademy @SafetyCultureHQ @Lazerlamps Fair play Jon 👏🏻👏🏻

When you can’t see over the bonnet but the foot stays in it! 😶‍🌫️
