It's a silly thing to do - it tends to be the same price difference up front as paying for it later, but if you do fewer miles you don't get a refund.

Harry, is this your house?

The Autodromo Prototipo was a watch I first saw mentioned in Evo - that's got a rather nice cushion case shape and looks pretty funky. Still like the Longines reissue I posted above more, but here are the details: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/autodromo-prototipo-review https://hodinkee.imgix.ne...

I think you’ve just found the wrong model Rich.

Always amazes me that watch makers use such similar names for quite different watches.
That’s a newer reissue harking back to the original, too. But you get the point.

I read the other day that Watchfinder's offers to buy watches have dropped a fair bit. Suspect they either have too much tied up in stock already or they're struggling in some other more serious way.

I had no idea there were so many accessories for CTEKs. While I like the idea of those indicator lights, any idea what the power drain is? My MX5 started first time after sitting for 2-3 months unused, and over that period it's possible the tiny drain from the lights might have meant I'd have had to...

Current there, Zed. I quite liked it. Good book too.

“All performing the same irrespective of watch brand” isn’t necessarily true of bought-in movements - ETA certainly make their movements available in different levels of finish and feature set (standard, elaboré, top and COSC certified, IIRC) and that’s before the manufacturer applies any of their ...

Just put your old Evo stickers on the other side of the glass.

M2 is now 6 months old so I thought I'd treat it to a wash, pretty much the first time since I've had it. I also waxed most of it using Autoglym HD Wax which left a great finish, I'm not sure where this premium ish product came from as I certainly wouldn't have spent £40 on a wax :lol: Nothing else...

They may have briefly been on offer a week or so ago at John Lewis bricks and mortar stores - not online, but the VW camper, Beetle and Mini were about 15% off. Ideas sets generally aren't discounted much or at all except when the Lego shop online sells off its last stock. So I'd not be too worried ...

Village Inn in Thurlestone, Hope Cove, South Pool. We’ve covered a fair bit. Did Bigbury to Mothercombe this morning. Having a beer now. Coast path or just driving between eateries? :D My garden looks a shitload better than it did last week. Also managed to make the spare room properly usable (by m...

I certainly don’t frown on that, John - if they’ve made you wait a year for a watch you actually want to wear, it lessens the pain a bit! I take it your AD didn’t hang onto the warranty card etc?

I had a nose at XJs; I’d have one over an XF but being JLR products makes me think they’d be as unwise a purchase as my preferred L322 Range Rover.

Can I remind you of what you said when I was thinking of getting a CLS and you wanted the E class? "Why pay extra for what is essentially an E class in a pretty frock" ;) :P Yes, but this way I'm paying less for the pretty frock :lol: The first gen CLS is the nicest one Merc have made, th...

Dennis is well-resourced, and despite the numerous lawyers on here we really aren't.

It's a nice colour but I've had two of them before, I know the gearboxes are a little less than perfectly reliable and I fancy this: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201803315116507 Apart from the "wood" that's really nice. Sounds like you've pretty much set your mind on a C...

Sorry Dave, I'd rather have a diesel CLS than a V8 ML

Even with the luxury pack (nappa leather, artico dashboard and alcantara headlining) they feel quite hair-shirt inside. I appreciate that they do have some of the air of a W124 which the W211 lacked, but there's just nothing massively desirable about being in one.
