I think it’s a couple of issues with Bluetooth speakers - having to recharge them and not having the music continue as you go outside. I think they’d be powerful enough.

My parents want some speakers for outdoors. They have mains power outside and want to fit weatherproof, permanent speakers that ideally will connect to the Sonos kit the have indoors. I hoped there were some speakers that would only require power and could connect wirelessly but nothing has jumped o...

C’mon... what else can you buy for a million quid that’d be better <insert pic of literally everything else>

That looks very good. I think I’ll try that on Monday bday. The grey reminds me of Graham’s 997; May just be the lighting though

Only 5 of us last night, and I might have the meat sweats this morning!

That Weber only goes to 300oC, Zips. A proper kamodo goes over 400. And the ceramic is over an inch thick with a lifetime guarantee; you’d have to go some to break it. Also, 85kg round thing is ‘kin hard to lift and correctly position by yourself! 😂 BTW: Entire Aberdeen Angus fillet made good steaks...

It’s from Iceland, isn’t it? Call him Nordic and then it’ll work.

BBQ tonight, then (free) bacon rolls/balms/baps at local pub tomorrow before a walk, then live music and local drinks trial in the afternoon. Friend’s 50th b’day tomorrow night and then I’ll bbq at my place Sunday/Monday/Tuesday to help sweat out the alcohol. I imagine I’ll try to ride and drive on ...

Tonight, I get to try a Pit Boss 24" Kamado Grill Ceramic BBQ, that my parents have bought. Looks good and hopefully will live up to expectations. I currently have a Broil-King gas bbq - brilliant for big parties/quick lunches/rotisserie etc, a Weber rectangular portable one - great for beach/a...

New M5 is 1.2s quicker to 100mph than a stock RS6 Rich. Autocar tested it in damp conditions and compared it to dry Audi figures so it might be even quicker like for like.. I’m looking at buying a GT3 (manual 997.2 ideally). Problem is, I’ve just told the wife we can spend a bit more on a new house ...

I too wonder if it needs to be decoked. Charlie did say it’s normal for M96/7 to be ‘under’, but DFI engines should be a lot better, and GT3s to be ‘over’, particularly RS. It’s horrible from cold and pogoes for 30 seconds when gently accelerating in first so I’m convinced it needs coil packs. I’ve...

Mileage? I’d be going for 12k to be safe. Just found it. It was 0 down, 0% APR and £669 pcm, but for an M4. Sounds interesting but would be surprised if it allows 12k year. Link please? It was with Specialist Cars BMW - it appears to have been a deal that expired last weekend. They are still doing ...

£25k'ish over 3 years for a brand new M3. Haven't looked to see how this compares to the depreciation on one but there are worse ways to spend £25k for sure. That doesn't sound too bad in the scheme of things? Spending £600-£700 a month on a car would have me checking to see lease costs on a 911 th...

Right, well, the results are in, and I think the main thing to remember is that it's not a competition. So mine will have to wait until after all the losers have posted :D And it was followed by a smashing lunch & group photo at Costco. IMG_6861x.jpg Good pic. Shows how narrow the 997 is. 😎

Condolences Mark. Take solace in the fact he didn’t suffer and now rests in peace.

I could definitely pass my test tomorrow with no prep. Anyone who can’t shouldn’t be on the road. Got to agree with Rev on this one, if you couldn’t pass your test again (or even a basic retest version) then you shouldnt be on the road... Do they still ask you about stopping distances? I’d need to ...

Ugh! Marmite

Costco is offering up to £100 off four Bridgestone tyres at the moment. I use mytyres/blackcircle typically, but Costco have removed nails/spun the wheels and not charged anything, so I always check their price now.
