Like it’s only be used to ferry some dotty old retiree to the WI and her meals on wheels round. :lol: The previous lady owner is a petrolhead - people who buy 8 year old M5’s and then drive them for another 8 years are petrol heads. Her...

Re: Amazon and Proximity
Check what location data your phone’s sending. Geotargeted advertising has been a thing for ages. https://mailchimp.com/resources/what-is-geotargeting/ Interesting - I hadn't checked that in a while and it's interesting just how many apps want location data that have no real need for it - Sonos app...

Re: “Black Edition”
I think Merc are the only one of the main brands where "Black Series" is a technology and performance moniker rather than a trim level. (their Black Trim options is Night Edition) https://www.mercedes-amg.com/en/home/stories/Black-Series-History.html#:~:text=Ralf%20Sporr%20(RS)%3A%20In,cre...

Re: Dangerous beers...
Surely the Guinness in Uganda and also in Ghana comes from the Breweries in Ghana (where all of Africa’s Guinness is made) ;) Mates Dad was head of Quality Control at James Gate (worked his was up from Bottle washer) - O Connors was his opinion.

Re: Dangerous beers...
I mostly enjoy Guiness and as the pub three doors down from me won the best Guiness award by the brewery, I typically just wander into there when thirsty. Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’...

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?
I've also done 3 weeks driving around Queensland and New South Wales before we had kids - booked nothing, just rolled into town and found places to stay etc. I'm 100% with you on the roundtrips. If I make to 65, we're going to take the tax free lump sum of my pension, buy a motorhome in America, ren...
