@DeskJockey - it was the Rated People app/website. We've had a reasonable hit rate with that one.

I like the part of painting the big bits in the middle with a roller or brush. Very satisfying. Its the cutting in bit I don't like and anything fiddly where I usually lost patience.

I was happy as a pig in shit at the weekend doing all the fences and sheds last week with the spray gun.

It's been a mad week but big strides forward. It's amazing what you can do if you get lucky with the "find a trade" type websites. Two guys responded to the ad for tiling the small bathroom. Both came round. One was half the price of the other and said he could do the job this week. He's b...

You then have a lake and a lot of land aswell.

Dave!

That is a lot of property for the money!

I'd have thought just having a loaded shotgun pointing at them would be enough for the scrotes to scarper, but maybe the "aggravated" part meant the guy did feel in real danger. Or as Gavster says, he was at the end of his tether or had other stresses too. Or is it just a natural extension...

Thanks @IanF.

The wife has just submitted planning permission for a barn on the croft... I've made sure there's room in there for a car or two just in case we need to...

The thought process is something along the lines of... the 80s stuff is too expensive now Start growing a ‘tash and get some Hawaiian shirts https://images.clickdealer.co.uk/vehicles/5929/5929938/large1/139686971.jpg https://www.sppmarlow.co.uk/used-ferrari-308-hedsor-buckinghamshire-5929938 Wow 8-)

Thanks for taking the time to type that up, very useful. I've only ever driven manual ones up to the 360 I think - I know the first iterations of the F1 auto box had a bad rep but I wasn't sure if that was snobbishness or people being over-critical of it. The blog you linked-to is really useful. I h...

I finished Constellation on Apple TV and loved it. Noomi Rapace is an astronaut on the ISS and something happens which means when she returns to earth, not is all as it seems or as it should be.

The AWD system on the FF is utterly stupid. Does the Purosangue have the same system? You want a 612 - the best looking Ferrari ever made. And it’s simple RWD. I think the Purosangue is an entirely different system. The 612 is one of those cars which I think can look utterly amazing and utterly bla...

Apparently it's still an issue on the GT4C which I didn't realise. There seems to be a few proactive fixed by 3rd parties, but they ain't cheap either. So I guess its one of those cars which absolutely needs a warranty.

355 was always the one for me, but not sure how those values are. So can the man maths then say that actually a 360 or 458 is a better bet because you pay more up front… I think you’ll find a 355 is more than a 360 ! The 360 is cheap, and usable. That’s my boxes ticked. Of course it is, not sure wh...

Worst now I am not spunking all my money on building a house I can now afford a Ferrari post ever :lol: Of course it needs to be a 355 (Berlinetta or Spider doesn't matter), 348 or 458. :lol: That obvious eh? I'm "just looking" at the moment... My wife is already heavily suspicious. The t...

What's the best Ferrari forum to get a view for actual real world feedback and buying guides? @Sundayjumper @IanF #stealthpost Worst now I am not spunking all my money on building a house I can now afford a Ferrari post ever :lol: Of course it needs to be a 355 (Berlinetta or Spider doesn't matter)...

I'll keep an eye on this thread @Beany, need to sort a router and wi-fi mesh for the stone walled cottage....

I wasn't sure whether to read the book first or give the series a go, I think I'll just get on with the TV show.

@DeskJockey - Have you read the book of Shogun as well?

I was going to ask about the clutch and also how much faster it can be at legal speeds?

Speaking of which, is that the first time (in a while?) that Harry has put some tape over the speedo?

Has been great having the touring these last few weeks when getting the house ready to sell. That's a tumble dryer and half a dozen black bags for the tip, not bad for one trip.
