Oh dear @theipaper - in a piece about words (page 3) you write 92th…


One of the more enjoyable things I’ve been part of, looking forward to more in ‘25…

Today’s object of attention, @KiaUKPR new EV3 - first impressions very positive!

Enjoyed watching #F1 this season, which a few years ago I couldn't imagine saying. Big part of it, the @SkySportsF1 coverage - so deeply embedded, across every aspect. For me who’s been on the inside of a significant series, it's like being part of it while watching it on TV...


Nothing is more stupid in F1 than the creeping out of the pit lane - ought to be a minimum speed as well as a max… #f1


Seems I’m assaulting the airwaves again tomorrow….

On tomorrow’s episode of @SuperTouringPod, we are joined by @ShortAxle to look back at the #BTCC’s return to Croft in 1997.

Just to let any followers know with increasing concerns over this platform I’m now on Bluesky - just search for Shortaxle.


In danger of falling for this trait that obsesses the likes of @norramot and @alexgrantuk - especially if it gets me an MX-5! Just add water?

Every now and then The Sun reminds us that whatever you think of it, its headline writers are the best in the business….

Best wishes for a long and happy retirement to @DavidWilsonTRD – only dealt with him directly once, seven years ago now when I did the feature on the new Toyota Cup car for @RaceTechmag – like just about everyone I've encountered in @NASCAR he was hugely helpful.

And… I still miss being there reporting on the @BTCC !


Yes! Well done @JakeHillDriver ! A well-deserved @BTCC champion!


Plenty of sensible cars to drive @SMMT North but sometimes you need some time in a proper one…

Yesterday Brooklands and today the other way for @SMMT Norrth. Good to see these here but sad that some big names aren’t, especially with all the current cars I still haven’t driven since taking on my new role…

So someone sets up a @facebook profile with my name with one letter changed and steals a banner photo from my profile page to use on it but Facebook rejects my complaint because it doesn’t go against their community standards. Yeah right… @Meta


Went to a Toy & Train Fair today, found myself channeling my best @norramot

So the @BTCC race of the day was the one with Minis in it - again! Good though to see @DanCammish get an overdue win.


NASCAR has acted and it’s the right decision….


I’m in a Daventry hotel this evening learning all about what’s going to replace Ginetta Juniors at @BTCC meetings…

Now there’s a lot that irritates me about @dennyhamlin but I fully agree with just about every word he said on this week’s Actions Detrimental. Sunday night did not help me convince my sceptical friends that @NASCAR is top-level motorsport… @DirtyMoMedia
