Hold on Ian. I’ve been patron of Young Driver for 10 years, patron of the ADINJC for four years, given evidence to the Select Committee on Transport, spoken at the RAC Young Driver Conference and written ‘Learn to Drive Without Tears and Tantrums. We need to educate kids at a much earlier stage about road safety. @youngdriver
@WestRenew @GBNEWS @QuentinWillson @tomhfh @CarverEmily Until they got a former Top Gear presented as a road safety expert! 🤔🤔🤔

A new JLR prototype being tested in Warwickshire? Registered as a Land Rover and obviously electric. But could it be a Jag platform in disguise?

I will probably never see so many Mercedes 300SL Gullwings and Roadsters in one place ever again. Amazing. 😎

More Gullwing beauty at the UAE 1000 Miglia. That this 1950s technology can still perform so reliably in 30 degree temperatures is a wonder.

At the start of the UAE 1000 Miglia in Dubai. There are three 1950s Merc Gullwings and three 300SL roadsters plus 100 other amazing classics. Classic car enthusiasm is huge here.

British built in Warwickshire, the Morris JE Commercial electric van. As a head turning, zero tailpipe emission van for city deliveries that will make everybody smile, it’s unique.

A pleasure to meet you too Greg! Octopus is revolutionising the UK market for energy and making it easier and fairer for consumers. I’m an @OctopusEnergy customer and proud of it.
It was an absolute privilege to chat with @Bobby_Lew at his incredible @Everyth1ngElec this weekend- indeed my teen son declared it “interesting” which is the highest praise. And then this with the legendary @QuentinWillson. Incredible leaders, both.

Loving the new Renault 5 electric. If it comes to market at around the £25k @renault_uk are saying, it’ll be a big hit.
