That was our family holiday last year, drove overnight to a place just a few minutes bus ride from Venice, a day in Venice, next day drove to Bellagio (stunning) then stayed there 2 days, down into Switzerland, across to Luxembourg etc. Absolutely fantastic and great memories. If you’ve not done Ven...

When in Perth we always go to The Island and I love the red ale.

Then to the Reveley for some Little Creatures Pale Ale.

At home it’s nearly always just Doom Bar as it goes down so well and I never feel bad on it.

Dave!

Volvo S90 if he can cope with a 4-cylinder engine. 730d isn’t too ugly if you go for the pre-facelift version before the gopping grille was added. 6-series Gran Coupe? For mile munching only the Volvo of the above will come with active cruise/lane assist which makes a massive difference to the driv...

They both need to have the CSL wheels. I think if it was an own it for a week thing I’d choose the 46 as that induction noise is ridiculous. To own one it would be E92 as the extra power and newer body with less rust problems would be a big bonus. Aren’t I lucky that my bank account has removed thes...

I had a passenger ride in a 3.0TD one of these with a taxi company last year and it was such a great place to be. Wonderful ride, really smooth gearbox and the dash at night was lovely. I don’t know when they were made till though. There is a burgundy one with cream leather I see regularly and it’s ...

With the particular chassis dynamics of a 911 I'm not against ensuring it has the maximum traction available... Even with 295s on the back of mine, across a twisty B-road in Scotland over crests and dips you can feel the rear subtly moving and shimmying across the road surface - I'm not sure I'd wa...

Again yet more proof that the E46 was peak 3 series.

Dave!

With a massive amount of experience (probably 100 miles between them) the 997 felt far more flat and less playful than the 996.

What about a good 996 Turbo, although the turbo running costs are a step up from a regular Carrera.

Dave!

The LFB one I'm coming around to the cyclists POV on this. He's somewhat self-righteous about the situation, however, the LFB vehicle did cross a giveaway line into the path of a more vulnerable road user. I fully acknowledge that the LFB vehicle had trouble seeing the cyclist who was in the blind ...

I think I’d rather eat lentils and fashion a wicker basket for my ladies bike.

Dave!

We used bait and a big bugger of a spring.

Leave the body for a while to deter any brave ones.

Wipe blood over cheeks, roar in the garden in pants with the mouse head as a new hat.

Problem solved.

Dave!

The ML died on the wife when at my parents house.

Lots of faffing as I’m away with work, recovered to a trusted garage and it’s the fuel pump fuse. All working fine now but will need some investigating and most likely a preventative new pump will be going on.

Dave!

I drove back from Oxford to London this morning and there was a council worker with his spray can out marking areas for repair not far from where I live. It was tempting to say to tell him to draw a line across the road where he was stood and another by the roundabout 400m away as the whole road ne...

I didn’t mean new to you, I meant as in such a new car in age.

There is such a big amount to choose from at least.

Dave!

What’s the need for a new car ?

Tax reasons or just wanting a shiny new thing, I get all of them so I’m not being a dick.

What about a Cantage a few years old, bit of an event, more fun at lower speeds maybe and gorgeous looking.

Dave!

It’s horses for courses isn’t it. I’m the opposite, felt much better after cutting out meat. Less lethargic and my digestion’s better. Exactly, my sister survives on salads and fish but I’d need to eat 6 big meals a day to be able to do my job. Plus I put on a huge amount of weight and look puffy. ...

That’s brilliant

Dave!

I looked at a couple in 2005 when I bought my E46 M3 for £17,500. £15k would have bought a decent C2 and £25k would have bought an RS ☹️ They all leaked oil and few had air conditioning so never going to be as usable daily! I’m pretty sure they were cheap at the time as they lacked oil like mad and...

I hadn't noticed that! It also logs cumulative time played and I was quite embarrassed to see I'd already clocked up 17 hours :? Oh, OT for this thread but anyone know how you invert the look up/down on the joystick in call of duty. Apparently old people like me press up to look down and down to lo...
