I looked and thought, "that's not too bad looking". Then I saw the price.......

There were some epic deals on an M4. Damn my fertile loins

Byron is a light blue but aye pretty much. It's 'only' got 20"alloys but I didn't want 21 or 22 I actually will need to go down a muddy track. I'd have rather had Maserati for the difference but functionality ruled.

My wellies are Goodyear. I wouldn't pay for Mucboots never mind hunters. I'm more farmer than laird

Drum roll................. Just delivered to me a Range Rover Vogue 3l V6 in Byron Blue Optional electric tow bar, opening panoramic roof and a couple of other little things. Pictures to follow. Dearly departed my 2015 335d which is think is one of the best all round cars around. 0-60 in 4.7sec but could still do 42mpg quite easily. I'm not sentimental about cars but that engine is bloody brilliant and it was a very easy car to live with and practically faultless in the time I had it. If anyone is thinking about one YK65FVZ was mine and it was a good one. Serviced, new brakes and powder coated wheels.

Mentioned a Mog to my mate, he said it would be good since you can use it to rotate the earth to the position you need. Less good for driving to Leicestershire

Car being valeted now apparently

Pu-lease, Hunters? Le Chameau boots for a proper gentleman https://www.lechameau.com/gb/

Bit of a car quandry right now. I have been invited into the world of field sports. I'm getting licensed for a boom stick and will need to buy various green coloured bits of clothing (but not cammo that's uncouth). Getting to the shooting spots involves a bit of off-roading. Not Rubicon trail extreme off roading but some fairly poor farm tracks. Certainly nothing the BM or the Mini could handle. the 335d has just been serviced, full set of brakes, Aircon recharge and is going totally fine at just under 60k. It does everything I need except skip down a farm track. I can either get a cheap 3rd 4x4 car or I can spend a bit more and get a 4x4 as my main car. I don't really want a 3rd car but neither do I really want a 4x4 as my daily driver. Car swap - I considered getting something interesting like the new Ford Ranger Raptor. I actually drove a Ranger Wildtrack on a demo at the weekend. It was surprisingly decent. Quite car like and the acceleration was ok. I could live with it as a car probably. Downside was that a flatbed might be good for lugging bails of hay but not so good for a week's shopping at Tesco. I could look into used Range Rover or Discoveries since they could be a pleasent enough family car as well as handling a rough track. Downside is they are fearsome exensive unless ancient, and hardly have the best reputation for reliability. The new Defender is crazy expensive. Other things like Landcruisers or Shoguns might just feel too boring inside and out to live with. Soft roaders are no use, we'll go thorugh a lot of mud so a locking diff is a must 3rd car - Jimny - not that cheap, not that reliable, not that great in mud apparently Terios - cheap, nasty to drive. TBH a 4x4 Terios is probably top of my list for a 3rd car despite being the worst car I've ever driver Jeep Wrangler - Rare at low prices. Would actually be quite fun to go to the beach in as well. Old Defender - expensive, unreliable money pit bt a classic and probably won't lose much money Unimog - Might need to get a truck license Just lookisng for thoughts or suggestions

I'm changing broadband. Have been with Plusnet for about 5yr, they made a monumental **** of moving my service when I moved house which left me without broadband or telephone for 6 weeks totally caused by miscommunication between PN and Openreach. However PN refused to even acknowledge I'd made a complaint or offer the promised refund for weeks of no service. Sooo I had to wait 24 months to kick them in the nads. Anyway... I've started the switch to SSE. which will save me about £18 a month and double my speeds over PN. But I'm wondering who long does the actual switch take? If I search the question I get 15-20days which I assume is from me hitting the 'go' button and that's not what I'm after. What I'm wondering is how long between one service going down and the other starting? GF needs wifi for her work. And if things are going to go down for days and days I'll need to have a backup plan to keep her working.
