Re: Beer Fred

I’ve moved onto Neck Oil for the summer.. light enough and not too strong. £6.70 in my local, so saving 30p per pint compared to my previous favourite Guinness, so every 23rd is free! 😃

Re: Food Fred

Double Red Duke. One of our families' favourties. My 8 year old demands we go for breakfast each time we're up in Oxford :lol: Kioku sounds good. We recently went for the Beijing roast duck at Imperial Treasure - would recommend but need to try Min Jiang as well at some point. Good lad! Had a dirty...

Food Fred

Sorry for stealing a field that @gavster is eminently more qualified for, but we need a restaurant recommendation list in here. I went to Kioku by Endo last week in Raffles.. loved driving my rental Golf in and having it valet parked, but I’m weird so.. back to the food. Service, views, food, 70 sak...

Uber Black: Ar$e reviews of back seats

I’ve been using Uber Black a lot recently and I’ve come to the sad realisation that bright lights and temp controls really can’t compete with good, soft but supportive, rear seats.. the Mercedes E-Class has a terribly bench style seat in the rear, whilst the Audi A6 is actually more comfortable and ...

It’s the CLE that the article talks about. A new model that’s never come with the 2L hybrid engine

Re: New Merc C63 AMG

I can't see any situation where a company downsizes and then back tracks under current legislation. It's not like they moved to phev for the performance benefits. Isn’t that what Porsche did with the Coxster?.. Think there are discounts for most new cars these days. And even JLR has moved away from...

Looks like trackers use GPRS, so 2G or 3G only..

Re: Car Hire Lottery

Hired a Golf.. it’s a 21 plate, has done 62000 miles and I’ve used half a tank (ish) driving it around 250-300 miles over the last 10 days.. it’s great to get in a car that doesn’t need charging every few minutes. Hopefully this new-fangled tech will catch on!.. 😉 It’s a very nice cabin tbh, apart f...
