@DesolatedMrBond Roger Moore was 57 at the time!

One thing that will always make me laugh will be Zorin sending his 60 year old henchman to carry out a hit 🤣

@AutoPap Another fantastic electric Renault!

Renault launching the 4 with a folding cloth roof. Loved that feature on my previous Defenders, real shame they discontinued it.

@funnyLgirl89 “Man, Friday’s come around quick this week!”

No sunday blues this week

@theintercoolerx Fantastic, but I’d have loved another hour or so!

Full episode now on YouTube. And tell us, are you enjoying Heart & Soul so far?

Andrew Frankel on why he's lost his heart and soul to the Porsche 956... and the Porsche 962.

@DanielCars05 Test drive a new one the other day. Loved it, but yours is a much nicer colour 👌🏼

NEW CAR! I can’t quite believe I’m writing this, but welcome to *my* Polestar 2 Dual Motor 🤩 A worthy replacement for my old BMW 325i, don’t you think? It’s a Pilot Plus with Nappa leather. Panoramic roof, Harmon Kardon sound system, Pixel headlights, the list goes on…

@funnyLgirl89 Seems like a bit of a waste of a Sunday

Ridiculing men is my favourite hobby

@mandyjsh @that_1 Oktoberfest!

@that_1 Bloody hell.. we have had more people in our garden for a BBQ!

which one is Zandi?

@theintercoolerx Regrettably @theintercoolerx I’d be far too busy tunnel hunting to hear any naysayers!

It’s the car many of us assumed Porsche would never make – a paradox, a contradiction in terms, a machine at odds with itself. Take a 911 GT3, the hardcore road-racer for which lightness and structural rigidity are fundamental engineering attributes, and remove its roof, doing irreparable damage to both. The result is the 911 GT3 S/C, the first ever droptop GT3 Porsche. But maybe this isn’t such a watershed moment after all. Porsche’s GT department has been here before, both with the 911 Speedster of 2019 and Spyder versions of the Boxster. The GT3 S/C is arguably a natural extension of that bloodline, and while purists and car journalists may wince, the appeal is clear – what better way to enjoy one of the great modern performance car engines? The weight gain over the coupé is actually quite modest at 35kg, meaning the GT3 S/C remains a sub-1500kg car. The 4-litre, naturally aspirated flat-six is unchanged, still rated at 503bhp, still capable of spinning all the way to 9000rpm. In the S/C it drives through Porsche’s six-speed manual transmission, itself one of the best in the business. The S/C uses lightweight components from the limited-edition 911 S/T, plus carbon ceramic brakes and magnesium wheels to further keep weight in check. The fabric hood is electrically powered and as if to prove a point, it uses magnesium parts too. The roof can be stowed in 12 seconds at speeds up to 31mph. The S/C borrows its chassis setup from the GT3 Touring, so it hasn’t gone soft even as it goes soft-top. The black windscreen surround gives it a unique head-on appearance, while the optional £24,110 Street Style Package adds graphics on the front wings, PORSCHE lettering on the sides and wheels finished in slate grey, among other similar design elements. This is a GT3 for a different sort of purpose, and perhaps a different sort of buyer. But given that it’s not a limited-run model and prices start at £200,500, it’s bound to do excellent business for Porsche just when the company could really use it.

@AutoPap @PorscheGB That colour looks deep enough to lose your arm in, stunning!

Really impressed with @PorscheGB customer service. Small niggling first World problem sorted with so much care and attention. Love buying cars off people who actually look after their customers.

@mandyjsh @simonfarnaby B loved it too! Dancing his way around the cinema during the end credits 🥰

@simonfarnaby perfect! Thanks for taking me back to being a 7 year old who believed in magic! (My 4 year old grandson loved Moonface) 🌚🧚‍♂️🪄✨️

@AutoPap Last summer I kept seeing an immaculate SL in Epping and the reg was 280SL or similar. Always used to wave

Forgotten how wonderful the positive the reaction is whilst driving the SL. So many people randomly stop to chat and wave when you drive by. Love it.

@baseballchickie Not older, better.

27 years ago… I’m not old! 😀🙋‍♀️🤸‍♀️😎

@Andrew_Frankel Well done!

First half marathon in my 60s done. Brilliant event, and the slowest, most comfortable ride home known to man. Perfect morning. #forestofdeanhalfmarathon

@TomHartleyjnr One of those cars that has so much more presence in the metal.

COMING SOON, an incredible SLR McLaren 722s Roadster. • Just 209 miles from new • Crystal Fayalite Green metallic (Special request) • Special request interior colour • Ordered by and delivered new to Royalty Does an SLR get any better? The answer is NO! #THJ #ComingSoon

@AutoPap It’ll never succeed. Bet they can’t give them away…

Everyone loves a Beetle right? Especially if its got Citroen suspension. #PorschePartsBin

Turn my TV off to put my son to bed, come back half an hour later and can’t find any TV channels or live tv. A new issue every day @skytv

@AutoInfatuation I could only dream of 22! I got 18 at best.

@stephenson_a Fuel consumption is sadly just one horrific part of running one 😭 I did 52,000 miles in mine over 3 years at 22.7mpg as I did a lot of longer trips but still ouchy on the wallet.

V8’s are truly fabulous things in both Petrol & Diesel form (I’ve had at least 6 so far)……until you get the opportunity to daily a Twin Turbo V12 for 3 years and it utterly ruins cars for you going forward as nothing will ever come close again 😭

@hot_girl_meg1 In which case I think you’ve missed one

there's a clinic in Sweden specifically storing the DNA of autistic men. my arsehole is performing the very same service

@ShamiKalra I think the first few races are going to be pretty eventful whilst the teams work out how they’re going to best use battery etc and then they’ll be quite homogenous. Hopefully by then there are some interesting points positions…

Ah well. Some of the racing was good, rest of it was back to processional business for #F1 #DontBelieveTheHype
