I think car guys have a responsibility to have "a road" that they know for "special testing" situations.i have a great little nsl connecting road with fields either side and no turnings only half a mile from my house . It's two straights where you can get to illegal speeds and b...

If the interior actually looks like that it is brilliant. If it looks like BMW cognac leather and the photo processing is what makes it so vibrant, not so much.

I like it tbh, it’s cheap and functional.

While I laughed at the way the bodywork will puncture the tyres on the first one, at first glance that photo looks like a pisstake not the real thing.

Someone is bound to have the forum composite hangover cure somewhere

Reyka Icelandic vodka is similarly pure and good; I always assumed Polish stuff would be more scary.

I don’t find that because rums tend to be pretty drinkable so it’s far too easy to do in a bottle

I clicked on this thread intending to post my go-to and Gavster has it first on his list - I do like the Havana Club Especial and always go back to it. Annoyingly the supermarket didn’t have any last week so I bought a 7yr aged Havana Club and it’s fine but not as nice. In fact, I’ve found that aged...

Plus longevity. I'm sure that getting (relatively) huge power & low emissions from a small engine must mean it's quite highly stressed and unlikely to live much past its warranty period. That was Mazda’s ethos when they made the 3.3l straight 6 diesel they launched a year or two ago in the CX60...

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.
