For Sells

It seems my Tudor Black Bay, being the first version with ETA movement and black bezel, is a bit of a rarity and prices are going up. And I don't actually wear it much at all; the lack of a date wheel means it's not a useful every day watch for me. With a wedding to pay for next month, I'm planning ...

Re: EOTR - Evo Magazine

Am I the only person who has yet to cancel? I quite enjoyed the 20 years of Evo stories in the last couple of issues, which at least means I'll see it out to the 20th anniversary issue around October.

Of course, we really ought to ban the re-use of this image - it's a lazy racist stereotype of Irish priests.

Re: New Tyres?

I used Blackcircles last time, for the few quid saving over Tyresonthedrive and the others who come to you. Wish I hadn't bothered: - the fitting place I chose on the basis it was open on Saturday mornings wasn't, but I didn't find out until I'd already placed the order so had to choose somewhere le...

Re: What am I missing? £20k ish choice

3) If I drive a C43 it'll simply confirm what I already know, that they're great to drive with a good engine etc etc. But I'd be wasting the salesman's time because it won't change the underlying issue that it'll likely wear down the inner edges of its front tyres in <10k miles, and the underlying ...

Re: What am I missing? £20k ish choice

I like the W205 estate and owners seem to like them too, but they don't come with a wide enough range of engines. A 6-cyl diesel is notable by its omission, for instance, and the only 6-cyl petrol is all AMG'd up and pricey with it. Thought about an Audi A7 with the 3.0TFSI engine? An example, below...

Not on the stag do - I’m not off to Vegas for a drive-thru wedding to a Priscilla Presley lookalike!

Been off-roading in a quarry in the Forest of Dean today. It’s where Autocar filmed the Merc pickup thing recently.

Re: The Watches Thread

I'd prefer those if the cases were more uniform in shape and didn't grow top and bottom. But then it'd look a little like an Omega, which I'm also not keen on :? The cases are symmetrical up/down aren't they? If they look bigger at the bottom I'm sure that's a trick of the light. The part I'm not s...

Re: Lease Deal: LEON CUPRA 5DR 300 DSG £289 p/month (23+1)

Does anyone who takes out a lease ever do under the mileage 'limit'? Yeah, me, by a long way! :lol: When I got the lease I was doing a few miles and we were looking at jobs that required big miles. I've been working in London and driving to the station more or less ever since. Anyway, another lease...
