Looks like a feast!

Which Macan do you have and what do you think of it?

RAC run the Mercedes breakdown/recovery service and its a shambles. I waited four hours recently and finally dumped the car and took a taxi home - at their suggestion. I am now battling with them to recover the £80 taxi fare, which is in their terms and conditions. I cant believe a company like Mercedes put up with such an association which does them no good at all.

My first company car was an 1100 Mk 1. HFM 564J. Crossply tyres and plastic seats. It didn't need an accelerator - a switch would have been more useful. You could run faster. 100% reliable though.

If you do that then you are capitulating to the "flat earth society" and they have won. Read the facts not social media

This additive is not transferred to the cows milk and has been used on the continent for years. To dump dairy products is foolish and reactionary without knowing the facts and above all a waste of money Agreed

When I used to work for a living I was given a 2.0 Sierra GLS for a company car. It produced 125bhp and was as quick as anything else on the road. My current Mercedes C Class diesel has a 2 litre engine and produces about 200 bhp and would leave the Sierra standing. I had a petrol/hybrid C Class courtesy car last week and it produced 300 bhp! I really don't see the point but its not going to change anytime soon I'm afraid while we still enjoy the thrill of driving fast cars.

I thought the 208 was the 32ins? The 28ins was a 206 - I think

There are a lot of B2G's for sale and the prices are generally reasonable. Buy a 30ins 207 model and have the stock sorted. You are going to shoot the gun so why worry about what it looks like when you come to sell it on? Standard choking is 1/4 and 3/4 and yes, the standard gun had a plastic Browning butt plate. Lovely guns and sadly almost forgotten. They were all we ever wanted when I started shooting. Anyone under the age of 30 now is probably not even aware they exist. I would rather spend £3K on a B2G than a Guerini.

Now you're talking!

I think you will find that margins on the new guns mentioned are fairly minimal and rely on yearly bonus payments on guns sold to make them worthwhile. Used guns on the other hand are potentially more profitable as the shop has control over the price it pays for them, unlike new guns which have a recommended retail price and a generally universal purchase price. If a shop is pushing you to buy new then they are probably approaching the end of a sales period and need the numbers to push them into a bigger bonus payment.

This

Not as bad as the media were predicting is it? Not that they were trying to sensationalise the whole thing........

Ah well - it was a pleasant thought while it lasted!

Well if you can fill the tank for a tenner and do 250 miles it seems the logical way to go. No road tax, easy to drive, just a box on the wall to pay for. I'll keep the Disco for shooting etc so I think I'm almost there.
