Just popping out to buy a scratchcard autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20…
Saw this while we were away over the weekend. Posted without comment. Apart from that the punctuation slightly pains me
Now we've revealed our 2025 Auto Express New Car Awards winners, read all about the UK car market’s top models here… buff.ly/oXpCvv4 and buy Auto Express magazine today for the full story. #AEAwards
Most cliched ever taxi home tonight. Six-figure mileage Skoda Octavia with a warning light on the dashboard. But it’s fine, it’s only a yellow one
Wife isn’t a fan of this because it “makes a stupid noise”. She’s factually right, but the sentiment is all wrong 😁
Car salesperson: annoys me Me: writes a column about it autoexpress.co.uk/opinion/367124…
Le Man hypercar report card Cadillac: Just sounds American! Aston: Looks & sounds great, like an F1 car. Just not fast! Alpine: Best taillights. Ferrari: Fast. Porsche: Not quite as fast. Peugeot: WRC-style pops & bangs don’t seem to add speed! Toyota: Stealthy. BMW: Fragile
Ubiquitous Off To Le Mans Eurotunnel pic alert! Never looks quite as good when you’re in the big carriages, but the beast wouldn’t fit in the regular ones 😁
Adding the word ‘fucking’ to your Google search query disables the unwanted AI summary at the top of the results page.

Liverpool, Man City, Chelsea, Spurs, Man United all beaten at the Amex this season Southampton, Leicester and Ipswich Town all left the Amex with a point Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club, ladies and gentlemen 😅 #BHAFC
Spoiler alert, but the Pringles mystery flavour turns out to be the dregs of every other flavour all mixed together. Not good, not bad just really odd and with a little spicy kick
Hell of a spot today. Had to explain to the boy why Darren Cassey (pic credit as I was driving) and I were so ridiculously excited about it. First time I’ve seen one in the wild
Thanks AI, makes perfect sense "No, May 2nd 2025 is not a bank holiday in Madrid. It is the Day of the Community of Madrid, which is a regional public holiday in the Madrid region, but not a national holiday. Therefore, it is a bank holiday in Madrid but not in the rest of Spain"
Was fortunate enough to have a little play in this earlier this week. Just wow. A bit like the mate that’s fun on a night out, but you know you’ll get into a whole load of trouble if you spend too long together. But still, wow.
Carlos in the 93rd minute! 🤯 @MonsterEnergy ⚡️
Sad times this week with the @AutoExpress long-term @UKVolkswagen ID Buzz leaving. It’s a bit silly in the good ways, the infotainment is flawed and the range isn’t great, but what a cheerful, practical and all round lovely thing. Going to miss it. (Sorry it was so dirty VW!)
