I'm going to take a photo of my cellar (actually a fridge not running really cold) which is full of either sours at 8% or stouts at 10% all aging nicely.

Re: Why are road trips so alluring?

It's something I've started doing here more recently, I'd rather driver for 9-10hrs down the longer routes to get between Wellington and Auckland than fly and be door-to-door in 4. I'm especially enjoying it when I'm on my own too... Just the road and seeing things. Fucking great. Driving around the...

Re: Dangerous beers...

I like the idea of craft beer nerd thread... Except everything I can show you lot you won't be able to get (with perhaps the exception of Yeastie Boys) and most of the UK stuff we get here is fairly run of the mill. When I was back last Nov/Dec I have to say, I found it pretty difficult to get acces...

Re: Mouse hunting

We have similar issues with rats being right by the water it's almost impossible to solve. Every house on the street has them running around somewhere. Currently using a series of ultrasonic devices round the place - noticeable decrease in signs of rats in the ceilings, though I did hear something a...

I'd totally have that but the 21" faux Fuchs are gopping. Shitty design trying to be relevant when they never can be without being numerous inches smaller.

Re: Harry’s Garage

I can't help but think that the vast majority of Tuthill's cars, especially something like the K have got it spot on. Early Singers have it for me too, they nailed the design in the same way we praise Jony Ive for reinventing carboard boxes for phones as an experience. They've become cliche as the d...

Re: Harry’s Garage

I can’t help but feel that if you want a modern 911 with modern capabilities and pace - you can get one from your local Porsche dealership and save yourself rather a lot of £s. Leaving you plenty of cash to buy and renovate an original spec 964 for when you want that old-school feel/drive. Having d...

Re: Harry’s Garage

Just watched the Theon clip and love how Harry's gushing over it. And I prefer the way it sounds to the standard Singers too. But... There's a few things about the fit and finish and design touches which just aren't Singer are they? I can't help but think if you sat Rob Dickinson and Richard Tuthill...

Genuine Q - in normal driving do you find the wind over the top of the windscreen hits your eyes? I have that issue in Elises and MX5s and I don't think my head is sitting much higher than yours? How tall are you?

Re: Spotted - Clio and Evo sticker

Some of my fondest memories from the 'EVO meet era' are being sat next to Mark while he went full meltdown. Guy knew how to pedal hard - drove everywhere like it was his own personal rally stage. Genuine GC.

Re: For the FTAO of Sim racing folk

I've only tried a VR headset once and it made me feel really sick pretty quickly. Whether that happens or not seems to be quite a personal thing. It was a while ago now, but I think it was because your eyes are telling you you're going to experience 'X' but your body isn't moving or weighting up acc...

House. Then four more houses in the other primo spots around NZ. Maybe one in Japan.

Buy 911GT3 Touring. Proceed to spend the rest of my life doing roadies between all the places seeing cool shit.*

*May include coke and hookers.

Re: For the FAO of stereoists

Did you ship the speakers? Update on this is that as yet, none of it has left the UK, all still at mates house wrapped up ready to go. Longer story is it was supposed to be leaving via air freight using a friend's assistance but that's on hold temporarily. May end up needing to use different shippi...

Re: For the FAO of stereoists

Lots of great advice in this so far thank you. Unfortunately I can't give you any tech specs of any of it as it's either in the UK or may have possibly just left. So I guess I'll have to get it all here first and set it up and then go from there and maybe revisit advice here. I'm also not sure any o...
