I’ve had a very non-dangerous beer today because I was using a chainsaw and driving afterwards. https://i.ibb.co/LJ2ZmWx/IMG-0203.jpg I haven’t had a 0% beer in a years, this was alright and had an ice tea aftertaste. But I don’t think I’d call it beer - more of a soft drink. Meh, will just buy a c...

Calculated that driving to my dad's instead of flying saves about £3-500 and a tonne of CO2 compared to flying. How far is that, and is that based on several people? I did some rough calcs and it seemed that flying would be more CO2 efficient for travelling alone for Italy. IIRC Copenhagen, and it’...

I have fond memories of my dad introducing me to Pelforth Brune (and Poker) on a family holiday to France when I was 13. Not sure he was aware that it is 6.5%.

I don't often have beer in the house, so it is a rare treat.

Your wish is granted. Hence(Pel)forth this shall be the thread for discussing beers of all kinds.

As does @IanF

Noted. I may opt for a Pelfourth...

On my third Pelforth Brune and it is going down like nobody's business while tasting like heaven. I might regret this later.

It is the (perceived) freedom of the road. You going wherever your want, at whatever pace. I love driving holidays and for us it makes financial as well as environmental sense, when we're traveling five up.

Could it be something to do with max length or lap time of a race?

A8 and, I think, the Phaeton.

Edit: what about a Phaeton?

Is there a currentish Lexus LS400 equivalent? Or what about an Audi A7?

Edit: they do an S7 diesel. Looks like a four door coupé version of Jobbo's estate.

Currently sat waiting at a garage while they fit a new exhaust. They need to cut more of the pipe than they expected as it is not looking great. Well get it up on a ramp when we're back home to have it gone over properly to see if there's something more that needs doing. Can't remember the last time...

Could you mount them on the desk so that you have a few more options to work with?

Just for clarity, do you deliver?

I delivered a car I built to the south of france once so I guess I do!

That's customer service! (and a holiday?)

Elon will come out in support of them shortly.

I think it is safe to assume we've got an exhaust leak... https://gallery.ov9.co.uk/images/2024/04/07/20240407_210135.md.jpg Exhaust pipe was rusted nearly all the way through, hanging on by a thread. The box was dangling so low it was scraping, so there was nothing for it but to get it off. Car is ...

What about a glazed ring?

A word of warning about them dying in the house. We had one die in a poorly ventilated area and the stench was bad, but the flies were worse. So much worse. Hundreds of fat flies on every window for a couple of weeks. Killed and hoovered, rinse and repeat in the morning. Rinse. And. Repeat.
