Brilliant! It's a from me.

Strong lady - well done. It sounds as if you're getting a good view of the light at the end of the tunnel, and you know how to eat an elephant!

Les Cinglés - Respect. Bloody hell.

Brilliant stuff James and well done on the serious amount of weight loss I got serious about biking again about two years ago. Lost a bit of weight and then realised that I could upgrade the bike. I sold a couple of watches and described the cost of the Canyon as 2.5 watches! Now riding a lot more ...

Hello thanks for the comment. Sorry I don't follow this site often. CW said that the watch has been subject to some kind of severe fall or impact that caused it to stop working. It had not. I told them fine keep the watch I don't want to throw good money after bad. They then said they would fix it ...

Have you considered an e-bike? The extra assistance they give is amazing and it's definitely, definitely not cheating.

Best of luck, and I hope you have as much fun with your kit car as I did with mine.

I did actually get the BMW i3 Rex (Range extender) a good technology that should be the stepping stone for electric. Instead it seemed BMW hated their baby and killed the Rex version which is no longer available in most all countries with the release of the car with a 120aH battery or about 40kw an...

Before I give my opinion, you need to know where I'm at in my car ownership journey. I'm car mad, and always have been. I used to modify my cars with bigger engines, stiffer suspension, bigger brakes etc. Then I joined the motor trade and for 15 years I had company cars. Those cars are now regarded ...

Two I have hankered after over a longer period of time than I've had CWs are: Blancpain Fifty fathoms (original) https://monochrome-watches.com/watchtime-wednesday-history-blancpain-fifty-fathoms/ https://k8q7r7a2.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Blancpain-Fifty-Fathoms-2.jpg image from a...

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Oh dear.
