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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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!

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 ...

My stepson started his new job for BYD yesterday. Good luck to him. He did ask my wife if I wanted one

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 ...

These bloody inefficient 4-cylinder diesels. Need to right-size it.

What Rich said. Everything he accused the scaffolder of being (murderer etc) I’d assume he’s perfectly capable of in cold blood.

My missus has this habit of starting conversations with (talks at me) me when I'm texting someone (as in I'm midway through typing a 1st/2nd reply - mid conversation) , then flips out when I open the next text and read it because I'm ignoring her and not interested in what she's saying. Not sure th...

The CLE is half E-class and has space under the bonnet for bigger engines. So doesn’t really say anything about the C63.

EE do a 12 month data SIM with a lot more data for twice the price: https://store.ee.co.uk/products/ee-payg-sim-card-preloaded-with-120gb-of-data-300024942-GGGQ.html I don't think EE support 3G anymore although Sundayjumper may be fortunate as JLR started fitting 4G antennas to their cars at some p...

I have various different saddles on my bikes. One of the least comfy looks the comfiest (Brompton). All depends on the rider I think. And wear shorts with a pad.

What Ian said though I don’t follow his symbols. There are two possibilities: Anne is either married or unmarried. If she is unmarried then Jack looking at her meets the criterion. If she is married then her looking at George meets it. So either way someone married is looking at someone unmarried, j...
