Replying to @rickygervais
@rickygervais I saw this today and thought of you. 😊 Not because you have a trillion dollars (yet…), but because wealth can be shared with humans and animals that need it without denting your ability to still live very comfortably. C U Next Tuesday my friend 👍👌

As an @EnglandRugby supporter abroad, one of the best things about watching the @SixNationsRugby opening games on TV in France (in addition to a win 😉) is that the French still refer to ‘our’ home of rugby as #Twickenham on all screen transmissions and titles. Thank you @TF1 🙏

Like cars, car design and models? I stumbled across this beauty. Meet GAMI – cool origami-inspired art for car enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates thoughtful design and engineering. The first 1:8 scale model is this exquisite #Porsche. Check it out at gamidesign.com

CCC October 1974 😍 I’d take the Skoda (but they are all glorious). Which one floats your boat?

A great article on the Peugeot 106 Rallye models (1993-1998) in the October issue of the excellent French Autoretro magazine. How’s your French? @harrismonkey @Carpervert 👍

Just listened/watched another excellent pod of Chris Harris and Friends, 2CG featured motorbikes - you have taste @harrismonkey 😉👌👍 My 125 KTM (1983) with just 1200 kms on it (beside my 1995 Aprilia Moto 6.5 by Starck). @Carpervert

I love the Jerry Anderson stuff (#Thunderbirds, #CaptainScarlet etc.) and this year, The Tracy Family are celebrating their 60th Anniversary. This comment on the photo from another platform: “I'm as "straight as an arrow" but l thought Parker was an absolute ‘Stud Muffin’” 😂

Saw this in the wild today near Toulouse. When you chuck some three bolt #Renault5 #Gordini rims on a #Renault4 #Quatrelle, add a sneaky side exit exhaust, and retain its original patina ‘dans son jus’, the thing just looks bloody cool. @LateBrakeShow @Carpervert @harrismonkey

Caught this in a parking spot near #Toulouse. A glorious series 1 #Jaguar #XJS with the saintly #V12 and a divine manual gearbox. When did you last see a stick shift V12? Heavenly.

Having listened to yet another excellent @harrismonkey and friends podcast, the Austin Rover restomod feature made me think. A 2.2HL Princess with wide body I thought would be really cool. #AI is my friend. @Carpervert @LateBrakeShow
