Re: The House Projects Thread
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"..... We had exactly the same problem. Three suggestions: - Speak to Ho...
Re: Dangerous beers...
To bring a counter-cultural edge to this thread and talk about the most non-dangerous beers, I've spent the last few months trying all the low/no alcohol beers I can find in the main supermarkets and there's been one very, very clear winner, Athletic Brewing Run Wild IPA. It's the first zero alcoho...

I'm sorry I derailed this thread with a joke. Anyway, time for a nice glass of Sauv Blanc with my toast.

We should have made him an honorary member of the forum for appearing more than once at the LJR. Don’t think anyone ever spoke to him though

Do you get a discount on your car insurance if you use the code ‘Peek Freans’?

Re: The House Projects Thread
Yes, we do need to furnish it. It came with 4 shelves and they are already well used, so we need a few more, but it also needs more things to stop it just being space.

Re: The House Projects Thread
We had our first major project done today - the catio. One of the stipulations my wife had was that the cats needed access to outside but securely, so that we don’t lose any more to being hit by cars. https://i.imgur.com/rep51MB.jpeg Black wood to go with the beams. Can’t get away from the fact that...

Re: The Wine Thread
I’ve had a few nice Pouilly Fumees recently. I tend not to drink wine as much these days though; if it’s nice it slips down far too easily and a bottle is gone in no time. If it’s not nice why are you drinking it. But with food (other than curry) it’s usually the right thing to have. On that note, d...

Re: New Merc C63 AMG
Didn’t they announce Tesla style pricing with no discounts or have they backtracked on that too? 😂 Yes - all their dealers are now 'agents' rather than actual sales peeps in their own right, or something like that. So no discounts. See my post above - £3k off an E300e estate despite the 'no discoun...

Re: New Merc C63 AMG
In theory, when they moved to dealers being agents - but that means they might drop the price randomly by £10k I guess :lol: ETA: I did try getting a Carwow quote but they don't have the 6-cylinder E-classes on there for some reason; maybe not actually available yet? Anyway, on an E300e Estate there...

Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement
Do you think cyclists would get so pumped if they rode sit up and beg type bikes? The aggro seems to be such a British problem. I mean I'm sure it happens elsewhere to some degree, but by and large in most places I've been cyclists and other road users happily mix. Not specifically about aggro, but...

Re: New Merc C63 AMG
I'm quite tempted by the E53 AMG estate - it might have a straight 6 rather than a V8 but it has over 600bhp and the electric-only range should mean I get decent economy overall. It's bloody expensive though, as all new E-classes are; I'd specced an E450d estate and that came to £87k or so. Buying a...

I'm sorry to say that even Mercedes seem to use a tea cup for their tea break alert:
It may be that's how they serve their Jagermeister in Germany of course.

Re: The Motorbikerist Thread
In his sporting "prime" at the time - he was 41 which surely is getting towards the end of a career in bike racing? It's more physical than F1 driving isn't it? Also, if the crash was 6 years ago I think he's way out of time to start court proceedings. The limitation period for personal i...

Re: Menopause is now a disability (UK)
Ah, I thought your wife being a bit younger than mine wouldn't have got near it yet. I feel for you; probably only another 10 years of it to live through then!

Re: Your fleet running reports
Would it have been an option or part of an extended leather (or similar) package? Does sound a bit stingy given what it would have cost new. I thought the Autobiography had the full leather as standard. But if the headlining is alcantara and the pillars aren't that's just weird. Porsche charge you ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
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 ...
