Anyone out there - owner or dealer - in the U.K. with a Gallardo LP560-4 Coupe they’d be willing to bring along to an evo magazine test? No track stuff, just road driving.

Drove something very special recently. Schuppan 962 CR one of the most mythical and misunderstood supercars. Also happens to be one of the best. Thanks to Kidston SA for a unique opportunity. Upcoming story in Octane magazine instagram.com/reel/C24vjmhIz…

This isn't ManMaths, it's perfect sense. I've never understood PCPs etc, but financing over-priced new cars is a busted flush when there are so many decent used cars out there. And if you can then afford to buy an appreciating classic as well it's got to be a no-brainer, surely?

Montoya was such a beast. Oh for a time machine so we could see him and Max go wheel-to-wheel in peak V10-era F1 cars

Can anyone help me speak to customer complaints UPS in the U.K? Please don’t point me to the 0345 number. I’ve already got hold of agent via that and they were no help whatsoever

This bloke is the best kind of nuts. Running Africa from top-to-toe (or rather, toe-to-top) has never been done before. With good reason by all accounts. Deserves a TV show to follow his progress, but his Russ Cook YouTube channel is next best thing. Strong beard game, too!

Still can't believe Porsche Motorsport gave a few journos the chance to drive the 919. Being Porsche we got half a day on the sim at Weissach and full data comparison with neel jani at the track. Only ever encouraged to go faster. Even given a new set of tyres for our final 7 lap run!

Question for cleverer people than I: HS2 was always going to cost x times more than budgeted and carve a hideous scar through the countryside. 'Everyone' hated it. Yet now the inevitable has happened and the project is curtailed, a different 'everyone' is up in arms. Inevitable?

This is one the best jobs I've ever been a part of. The Stelvio is a magical place. Never more so than at night. This shot by Aston Parrott captures it perfectly. James Taylor literally had the road to ourselves. Full story and more great shots in latest issue of evo magazine

The @Prodrive P25 is one of the most exciting cars I've driven in years. So pleased to experience it on proper roads in mixed weather conditions, and to have Dean Smith to capture it in all its glory. All cars need anti-lag btw

Single-owner who has denied themselves one of the greatest driver's cars of all-time. Hope the next owner rags the bejesus out of it to make up for lost time

Imagine being able to slide a MotoGP bike into a corner under braking, with the rear wheel off the deck and the front on the point of locking. Then exit next corner with your knee and elbow down. Jesus. H. Christ.

Bit of a random question, but can anyone with practical knowledge of a 992 GT3 tell me if the frunk will accommodate two standard-size hard carry-on bags? Thanks

A one-off Koenigsegg race car that never actually raced has just sold at auction for £3.3m. How much money must you have to blow that kind of cash on such a non-entity? Makes no sense to me

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to race in the N24 here are a few personal recollections. Best of times, worst of times. Glad I did it. Happy to not do it any longer

Paging Paul Cowland ⛽️ and Mark Riccioni. If you pair don't use every available £ of your finance pots to fight to the death over this then you're not the men I thought you were
