Is she doing 10,000 miles every 3 months :shock: :lol: Erm, I think so. Moving house to be a bit closer to work seems to have been counterproductive across the fleet as a whole 😂 I found the FakeTaxi stickers Jimmy bought me - I could probably justify putting just the Taxi part in the window becaus...

I posted that on 9 Feb. Just booked its second oil change in June. Crikey! Moving house may have cut the mileage I'm doing down a bit but it's increased the Macan's. And that won't do 50mpg; I am not sure it's ever done 30mpg in her hands.

Something incredibly loud flew over the house yesterday that didn't show up on Flightradar. It was above the clouds so no visual but the only things I've heard that compare were a B-52 or a B-1B. I was down there yesterday and heard something - mid-afternoon ish, perhaps between 3.00 and 4.00pm? Lo...

That's perfect - Morgan could probably get a wooden cover to replace the leather so it looks a bit more tailored to the car.

Having a Coutts account closed by the bank?

Is the steering wheel nabbed from something else too ? My first thought was Mustang but it's not the same. It must be unusual these days in not having buttons on the spokes. The gear selector is far too generic. Surely that part can be altered? There are so many other controllers for the ZF 8-sp bo...

As if Di Caprio would go anywhere near a menopausal woman.

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...

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.

Garibaldi, Bourbon, Peek Freans Trotsky Assortment.

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’?

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.

Didn’t Matt’s have the (better looking, despite the teledials being an Alfa signature) multi spoke alloys? I know they’re easily changed of course.

Edit: found an old photo. It did. And a different registration

If you want any Clarky Cat, you know where to come.

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...

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...
