@Auto_Lass That’s easy: Massive rear spoilers

Had a full day of organising the rebuild of MG Marshall & I need a break …. So let’s have some fun instead. Go !!!

@TomBlackmore90 Why film it and not call police immediately?! That’s just crazy

The magnificent 812 SuperFast I sold a few months back has sadly fallen foul to the growing list of stolen Ferrari’s from central London 😨

@JethroBovingdon Oof. That was a bad set of circumstances

Wow. This is properly scary. And another reason to never be a passenger! 💩💩💩💩 youtu.be/5oO226PgSkg

@FrontSeatPhil PS—There’s a storage cubby under the boot floor for the power cable ;)

@FrontSeatPhil New Sportage is awesome though isn’t it? Definitely a contender for next family car…

A problem with electric vehicles that nobody talks about. Expectation vs reality...

Damn. I’m a fan of Type R Integras but six figures for a 22 year old Honda is more than a bit excessive

@Motorscribe @PorscheGB @PorscheNewsroom Fair play

@formtrends @PorscheGB @PorscheNewsroom Agree, but the tree came with us from warmer climes where real ones didn’t cope well.

What’s cooler than a Porsche 911 with a Christmas tree on the roof? A Porsche with a tree on the roof, on the Christmas tree.

@lovecarindustry Interesting to note that the S is a hatchback/liftback while the E has a conventional trunk aperture. Different to traditional ‘luxury’ norms

Regardless the impressive performance specs, the new #MercedesEQE is nothing different than a shorter version of the also impressive #MercedesEQS. Although the S, M, L and XL sizes in cars is not a new trend, it’s becoming more evident and boring than ever. #carindustryanalysis

Not with any degree of accuracy but you can certainly see as a trend how the increasing sophistication of 3D design software has affected vehicle design. I wrote about this for @formtrends formtrends.com/how-the-design…

@hoosiercub @ugonnaroast4evr @bird_liam Saw one in Germany just last week

@ugonnaroast4evr @bird_liam These are literally everywhere nowadays, in the states anyways.

Always wash your own car.

Volvo Cars is looking for an Exterior Designer to join the team in Gothenburg, Sweden. Interested applicants are encouraged to apply formtrends.com/exterior-desig…

@DC_F1 The family car for those who like to move quickly, inconspicuously

How would you describe your current daily car to someone who knows nothing about cars?

A really interesting concept by Volvo. Volvo Haven UX Enhanced Autonomous Concept - formtrends.com/volvo-haven-ux… via @formtrends @volvocars #Volvo #Haven

@AdrianPearson80 You could get a cracking 3-Series for a fair bit less than 20k. I’ve had mine 14 years. Won’t ever trade it

Car tweeps, looks like we’re going to be swapping Mrs P’s Sportage. She wants a Skoda Kodiaq. I want to swap it for an estate, ideally something a bit sporty but she doesn’t want owt too fast. I quite like the Volvo V60 though as a compromise. Suggestions please, £20k ish budget

The pedestrian crossing signal is clean and clear but the traffic light is overly complex. Simplification is key. What are your thoughts? fastcompany.com/90655753/the-t…

@2Fast2Finkel Ah, the M30. The second Infiniti to launch after the awesome Q45. I liked the J30 that replaced it too. That was before Nissan started rebadging Primeras. FX45 was arguably Infiniti’s crown jewel. A pioneer. Shame Nissan didn’t market it well.

Big but not unexpected news @AutomobiliRimac is merging with @Bugatti to create Bugatti Rimac with Mate Rimac as CEO. Rimac will own 55%, Porsche the other 45%, but Porsche also happens to own 24% of Rimac. Brands remain separate for now but new technology company also formed.

@RiveraNotario Thanks! I always knew this as an Isuzu
