The Detroit Motor Show in 140 characters

Over the last few days our TG writers have been traipsing around Motor City's auto show until they were blistered beyond belief.

They brought you all the latest news, but before they uploaded the full details on cars (which you can read here) they pointed their shiny phones at whatever was of interest and tweeted it to the world. Some of it was hardcore, breaking news. Some just codswallop that tickled us into a smile.

So click through to see all of our tweets/twots/twitterers/twathevers from the @BBC_TopGear account. And thanks for all your responses and retweets.
