@KA1_Taylor Hi Kelly-Anne, hoping to get in touch with you about a possible writing commission. Could you DM me your email please? Thanks!
@OxonJames That sounds like Mr Leighton. A good man.
@jleightonphoto @piers_ward We had two of those.
@piers_ward @jleightonphoto Somewhere in Nebraska. Before we held hands for sunset.
Reading back on a story I wrote in 2011, when Kimi Räikkönen had a crack at NASCAR and Top Gear sponsored the race. I’d forgotten this gem:
New work with @thisisnorthstar for @McLarenAuto. Behind-the-scenes in Barcelona as the 750S does a decade’s worth of mileage in just a few months. Pics by the brilliant @samchickphotography cars.mclaren.com/en/latest/post…
@Kyle_Fortune ZapMap solves many of those woes - used it for every long journey with my Polestar 2. Obvs helps having a bigger battery and decent range too. But yeah, needs planning and you can't just rock up hoping to find one.
@mtisshaw @autocar @danielbyrnenyc could be your man. We did lots together on TG back in the day - he's a star. DM me for an intro 👍🏼danielbyrnephoto.com
Does anyone have a contact for Ascari Race Resort? @ascariresort
Here’s a story I wrote about the brilliant Paralympic medallist @oliverlamwatson, who drives a 911 GT3 PDK. He’s lost the use of his left leg, but he can still drive an auto. He displays his blue badge proudly and deals with this sort of prejudice daily. shorturl.at/gFGMX
@Chris_PateCMP Pleasure working with you Commander 👍🏼
17 years after my work experience at @autocar, they finally let me write something. Christmas issue out now, featuring a watch guide by me, and @piers_ward rolling like a legend.
Heritage caravan enthusiasts! Can anyone help me identify this? I think it’s from the late 20s or early 30s, possibly a Bertram Hutchings. Asking for a friend…
@Chris_PateCMP @RugbyHoppers @Porsche_Preston @KukriSports 👌🏼👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼
