After nearly 10 years, 5,000 miles, many awesome journeys, countless laughs, endless oil drips, a bit of paint, numerous scraped knuckles, three house moves, two breakdowns and a thousand insults - the joke is over. The Sierra is off to a new home today. It’s been fun!

🚨 Avoid the A421 near Roxton 🚨
I’ve been stuck here for FOUR hours with no clear updates or diversion signs. If you’re heading this way, do NOT use this route — you’ll be trapped with no end in sight.
@NationalHways @bedspolice @letstalkcentral — urgent comms are needed. People deserve better than to be left stranded on a Saturday afternoon.
@BBC3CR it’s not 50 mins .. we’ve been stuck here for over four hours along many others.
To anyone already on the road: expect long delays. Bring water, snacks, a blanket, a mobile toilet and a sense of humour — you’ll need it.
Please share to help others avoid this mess. #NationalHighways #HellishTrafficManagement #BlackCatRoundabout
GCSE exams begin today. I’m still chuckling to myself about this personalised card I made featuring @JeremyClarkson for my son.
Stay positive and, remember, exams don’t really matter eh, Jeremy 😬

If you were thinking about taking one last look at @dobbies in Huntingdon - then don’t bother. So many happy memories of going there over the years, reduced to this. What a dreadful experience. Just close doors already. @huntspost @BBCCambs

You MUST watch 40 Minutes - The Great North Road on BBC iPlayer. An eccentric Lucinda Lambton meeting the sort of people who no longer exist. ALSO: the A1(M) at Hatfield without @the_galleria. Glorious.

Perhaps everyone who donated to that insane Pollitt crowdfunder would like to match their donation here?
I mean obviously you won’t, but you could and should.
Some people have asked about a suitable Domestic Violence charity they can donate to.
This one has helped me personally over the last few months and came to court with me on Monday. They have been wonderful.
If you feel you want to, no pressure

As I always say… old cars are like nightclubs. The purchase price is just the cost of entry; it’s the bar prices that will hurt the most.
I don’t think these would ever be cheap enough to tempt me. Am I just tight?!
This 1996 Bentley Turbo R LWB with 110,000 miles on the clock, new Michelin tyres (a fortune right there), new suspension spheres and more was offered with a guide between £8k-£10k and did not sell.
Now offered with a price of £7,500 @classiccarauc
That's a bargain, right?!

Abuse is never acceptable. He is where he belongs.
Everyone who has been supportive of Chris over the last year, everyone who donated to the £17500 Gofundme, who offered him an ear for his issues, should be pointing their support in a worthier direction.
Called his rancid behaviour out years ago. Was told I was wrong, that I was evil etc blah.
Justice.
After months, I can finally say why Chris (thePollitt) and I are no more.
Today Chris was given a 23 month prison sentence for ABH and Intentional strangulation towards myself.
This shocking and brutal attack took place at the hands of a man I loved.
It has devastated me.

I’m trying to save this pretty rare and very early Freelander. Once fixed, every penny will go to charity. If anyone on #weirdcartwitter can spare us a few quid it goes to a very good cause. Please share too! Thanks x

Thanks so much for the donations so far - I'm raising money to both save this very early Freelander AND to help Ukrainian families in the UK. Please help if you can, and retweet to your car nerd friends! gofundme.com/f/save-an-early…

Hello car friends! Please can you help? Either by donating, retweeting, sharing or just letting people know about this? I’m hoping #weirdcartwitter can help save this hippo and raise valuable money for a good cause.

A few weeks ago I got drunk (Tut Tut) and bought this very early Hippo. It’s going to cost me about three times what it’s worth to make roadworthy. Does anyone have any advice or want to take it on? It’s such a charming thing, but the last thing I really need right now…

I suppose the ‘car community’ think these are a bit naff, but I thought it was charming. Looked lovely in the sunshine.

A reminder that there is to be no discussion (however so well informed, well meaning, polite or intelligent) on the issue of Pride. It enjoys a unique position of being totally off limits.
See how a playful post has sparked such rage? Amazing.
Pride: while I have observed and admired what you have achieved over my lifetime, may I respectfully suggest that you are borderline guilty of Too Much Bunting (TMB). It may be seen as authoritarian, and therefore oppressive.
Please remember that some terrible things, with which you would not wish to be allied, began with TMB. World War Two, for example.
Nice flag, though.
