One of our families' favourties. My 8 year old demands we go for breakfast each time we're up in Oxford

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.

Every day's a school day.... "Sorry, we can't offer home insurance as your home was originally built in 1800." "Why?" "Don't know". "What year can you insure houses from?" "1801"..... Do you categorically know your house was built in 1800? If not it...

How have you managed that :lol: My highest in the last 300 journeys (you can download this data from the app as an excel :ugeek: ) is 35.5 but then again I usually start or finish in congested city traffic. I think the 911 is capable of very similar fuel economy. Do you know if the pre-facelift V8 ...

Also, where's the autotrader link to SJ's Bentley? It's on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296429776509 Slight back story. I bought it for £9k last March , the seller didn't tell me it was Cat N, and I didn't check, so that's partly on me. It was provisionally sold @ £7500, I changed the front air...

Actually it’s interesting to compare to the Bentley. I was slightly surprised that the a-pillars in the RR are just coloured plastic. The Bentley has leather, it’s leather *everywhere*. Yours is an Autobiography isn’t it? I thought that would mean alcantara headlining and pillars at least. The RRS ...

Thank you :D That plus a pale interior and Panasonic (sic) roof makes it super-airy. It might end up being a greenhouse come summer though. guessthecar2017rangeroversdv8autobiographyedition2.jpg Speaking of typos, another car I saw advertised had a cracking one. It didn't have bi-xenon headlights. ...

That could perhaps be a very lawyerly comment about diminished responsibility or some other technical defence but, somehow, I think not.

Mik you should be ashamed of such clickbaitery.

I had a look at a very cheap Range Rover this afternoon. Probably not going to buy it as it doesn't have a tow bar and I think it'll be worth holding out and paying slightly more for one with the factory fit electric jobbie, but it confirmed that they're very very nice and have super ride quality e...

Indeed. Currently obsessing with specs of L405 Range Rovers. In theory one of those would cover the roles of both Cayenne & Bentley. If you're still looking at the end of the year let's stay in touch as mine may be heading for pastures new. It's a lovely spec (SDV8, Vogue SE, opening pan roof, ...

Indeed. Currently obsessing with specs of L405 Range Rovers. In theory one of those would cover the roles of both Cayenne & Bentley. @GG. In an unrelated topic, did you see that JLR are now offering up to £150pcm insurance contribution if you have one of the affected vehicles? Probably plenty o...

Unfortunately, in related news, the LC500 and RC-F have both been canned over cyber security concerns... All 7 OAP repeat Lexus buyers are said to be distraught. :lol: I'm sure doesn't mean it @Matty Younger people buy Lexi too! https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2021/01/13/NSMN/c09f0d05-7be3-4d72-...

I have a contribution from the other end of the spectrum too...



Not something I'd get too excited about personally but I imagine it will be of interest to some of you guys.

Fnarr.

Easy access and tight once you're in - ooh er.

Depends what you’re comparing it to - for an SUV it looked small (you can see an XC90 on the other side of the pillar for scale). Although higher I would say looks like a smaller car overall than an FF and from early tests sounds like it is no more practical in the back other than ease of entry with...

First Purosangue out in the wild - parked in Westgate car park! Braver man than I. Looked tiny!

He’s a weapons grade cunt. There is really no justification on politics or record. That said - any decent government with the majority the tories have should have reigned in his excesses on tfl overspend, LTNs and knife crime by taking back oversight on roads policing and budget, legislating to do s...

A tedious point but if you plan to have infirm elderly relatives live with you, you will really have to consider access to GP and other services and for me that makes living rurally a no-no. Mine are lucky to live in a big suburb with a decent GP, although Leeds General Infirmary could be better. A...

Same!
