Rob Pope

Yes, my name's Rob Pope, yes I like to run the occasional ultra marathon, no (for the benefit of the two accounts that just followed me), I'm not @runroblarun 😅

@joncoupland I was driving the Boxster and thought the front suspension had finally completely let go!

Todays commute in the little orange roller skate was an interesting one

@susie_dent @carolvorders @_robp !

Word of the day is ‘kuchisabishii’, from Japanese: boredom eating, or the making of frequent visits to the fridge in the hope of finding something new to munch on. Its literal translation is ‘lonely mouth’.

Look at all the brilliant stuff Ely Runners are getting up on September! You can talk to us about a free try out session by emailing membership@elyrunners.co.uk we are very welcoming! #running #Ely

We are an inclusive club. Brand new people joined us last night and ran at their own pace. You can try us out for free. Email membership@elyrunners.co.uk #running @SpottedInEly @ElyIslandPie @visitely

@Carpervert This has probably already been suggested, but I'm seeing an opportunity with Wesson's new channel to finally make those sweet, sweet Smith & Sniff merch pies. Any thoughts on the filling @sniffpetrol?

What a great August we have to look forward to! Summer running is just 👌

@joncoupland St Ives, but the one in Cambridgeshire

Wakefield

@A1GOY Coming to the hedgerow outside a Car & Coffee near you!

Via a discussion last night: That’s a pro driver. You want to give these to the public?!

@SimonRook1 @Carpervert Sparks and Coil Packs were replaced with a service in April. But I've had a faulty spark plug on a previous car too. Seemed to start when I topped up the tank and is getting worse despite topping it up when it was half full. Ordered a new coil pack from Heritage

Boxster has been lumpy on acceleration since filling with some Tesco Momentum, but ODB reader always comes back with misfire on cylinder 1. Where's @Carpervert and his boot of spare coil packs when you need him?

@joncoupland A post four hours old and still nobody tagged @A1GOY 🤔

I have advertised the Purple MK1 Audi TT For Sale this afternoon (not that I want to) BUT - it deserves a loving home and to be driven and enjoyed. As you know - Dad and I have done some crucial work to this one. It's advertised for £3495 BUT offers are invited of course

@joncoupland That's a lot to take in over a 15 minute gander

Been stood outside just looking at her for about 15 minutes now 😅🤦‍♂️

@GarethJonesTV @paulireson @A1GOY After listening to the show on Tuesday, look what cropped up in my memories this morning! Oh, and @A1GOY - thanks for being so frank and open about MH, really helped me on Tuesday

Doom, gloom & horses faster than cars plus a voice to soothe your soul. BRAND NEW Gareth Jones On Speed ep 492 with @paulireson & @A1GOY OUT NOW garethjones.tv/onspeed/onspee… #Bentley #LCC #LittleCarCompany #Ford #Mustang #TVR #MentalHealth #OnSpeed

@joncoupland Went for a run with some friends the other Sunday and took in the sights. It is beautiful and employs me, but I absolutely detest having to do any shopping there

I'm in Cambridge. Isn't it lovely

@joncoupland @woldswarrior_ It's still dry here at Snetterton (for now)

@woldswarrior_ I know of this small father and son YouTube channel 😛

How are you spending your Bank Holiday weekend folks?

@joncoupland A bucket and sponge?!?

Gave the Smart 450 (Purplesmart) a well overdue bath this morning. Sometimes I forget this car is 20 years old. Not bad for 5 minutes with a bucket and sponge!

@Carpervert @sniffpetrol Not a swan, but an S on a Suzuki is a... choice

@parkrunUK Zuiderpark in The #Hague with my mates! What a great #parkrun!

@Carpervert Bring back the estate. The number of families I know with a roof box because they can't fit all their stuff in the car (which is often a Faux-by-four) shocks me. We don't need fiestas on stilts, we need well designed cars with ample boot space

The EV backlash/fear/toxicity seems to have increased in recent time. It's weird, and fairly short sighted. Instead of people firing venom at electric cars, I wonder whether we consider the prob with cars at the moment is less about EV, but the genres of cars. Like big SUVs...

@joncoupland What do you mean you don't want another project?

It's not for me

As you know ... I'm a sucker for a MK1 Audi TT. Especially the 225 Roadster. Neighbour has his up for sale ... I of course had to have a good poke around it 🤣
