Re: FTAO of Coffee Whankhorz
Save your cash and buy it pre-ground. If you're buying decent coffee in the first place it's going to be ground as it's packed for sending to you.
I resisted buying a grinder for ages with this logic but found I couldn't change beans because the fine grind of one place wasn't the same as ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Someone on the Disco4 forum mentioned that the interior of the D4 is bigger than the new Defender 110 so I checked on carsized:

Re: Your fleet running reports
Looks fun - I really want to do a trackday at Anglesey but have never managed to make it happen. It's quite a pain to get to and I shoul dreally build it into a bigger holiday/trip.

No driving games have Anglesey, so I was left to watch some YouTube vids...
Too late now, but for the future ...

Re: For the FTAO of Sim racing folk
I’ve been sim racing for a few years now and typically race a couple of times a week online. It can be very addictive and also very frustrating.
It’s a hobby which either draws you in or you drift off quite quickly. Lots of people start with a G29 type thing and end up upgrading.

Bike rack, and no, it doesn’t touch the glass roof at all.

Re: L322 or Disco 3??
We live rurally and wife does 20-25 miles a day for school run and work. Probably 80% is NSL roads for cruising.
I'm curious about which engine option is the best. Head says 4.4 tdv8 but it looks significantly more thirsty than the 3.8 V8 or 3.0 i6. I won't be towing just be family and camping ...

We have an L322 - ask away if you've got questons?

Re: Your fleet running reports
So - as it turns out - I'll likely be in a position to clear off the residual loan on the 911 a year in advance. On that basis another auto-mo-bile may be on the cards in the near future...
I'd only be interested in upgrading the 911 for a manual 991.1 GTS and basically they're as rare as hens ...

Anyone can go. There was also a Ford Ranger, Jeep Rubicon and a Mitsubishi Pajero. Disco’s seemed the vehicle of choice.

Re: Abingdon & Bedford December
Well to be fair it was very very wet for the first half. I’ve never done a properly wet track day before so it was quite an eye opener. The Elise is much more snappy in the wet. I started to build some confidence and then promptly spun it, unsurprisingly. Nice place to learn and play though.
