With the end of Bangers4Ben Day One officially upon us, and (almost) all of our convoy reaching the hotel in one piece, we thought we’d take a look at some of the best tweets of the day.

There have been highs and lows, but thanks to the miracle of flaky French 3G, we’ve picked a few of our favourite moments below.

8. “Are Saabs meant to reek of haddock?” “Only the GM-era ones.”
