Re: Trump



it’s bad isn’t it, that you almost in a way don’t want them to end the war in Gaza because Trump has been part of the solution…. i said almost!


I wouldn't go that far, but I do agree that on Gaza, he does deserve credit (if things do improve there)

928 performed superbly over a 1200 mile trip to the Scottish Highlands - never missed a beat. I gave it a check over before I went and found that number 7 plug lead was full of green crusties and number 8 wasn't ...

Re: FTAO of Coffee Whankhorz

From my trip across the Balkans, it seemed that Turkish style coffee is popular throughout the countries there...

It's very finely ground, so clogged up the Phin Filter I took with me...problem is that often the supermarkets in some of the countries would only sell pre-ground Turkish coffee ...

That appeared on my insta feed yesterday too.

Having done a few river crossings on motorbikes, my first thoughts when seeing that were fuck that, it's not worth the risk. Volume of river flow is too strong, will probably be slippery too and unless you've seen it when it's low, you don't know how ...

Also had a nice chat with Mike Rainbird who I haven't spoken to for years. He's doing well and was there in his rather lovely Lotus Esprit.


I had no idea he owned one - only ever see M3 posts :?


Presume he still has his S2000 as well


I only found out he had an Esprit the first time I ...

I find it amazing that while we still have thousands of foodbanks in this country, they'll happily spend probably hundreds of millions, if not billions into a Digital ID system.

Re: Body Colored Wheels

If my 968 CS was in a standard CS colour, then I'd definitely have body coloured wheels.

I originally wanted a Guards red or Maritime Blue CS.
