  1. They are fantastic investment.... if you get the use out of them. We get out in ours a lot over the summer and the in laws do a 4-6 week south of France/Spain/Portugal in the Autumn every year.

     

     

    On going cost wise you have your usual vehicle service costs at approximately £200-300 depending on base van/annual miles etc.

     

    If you buy a new one there is no need to worry about MOT for 3 years.

     

    Road fund licence depends on base vehicle - think ours is £180/year.

     

    You'll need a habitation check/service annually at around £100.

     

    Insurance is reasonable depending on all the usual factors... think our is about £350/year.

     

    If you need yo store it somewhere budget £500-600/year

     

    ... Have you considered a caravan? You often get significantly more for your money providing you have a suitable towing vehicle

  2. I think (not sure) they have Optima (not Optima HP)

     

    When the new Silver Pigeon guns came out they all had Optima barrels. The Silver Pigeon Sporter/686E Evo guns made towards the end of 2015 starting coming with Optima HP.

     

    I went to look at a new Silver Pigeon 1 (field) last week and it didnt have Optima HP

  3. For readily available you can't beat Bulleit.... quite a high rye content so might not be to everyone's taste but very very drinkable. Usually around £25-30

     

    Makers Mark is also a decent a drink

     

    Tesco near us have started stocking Knob Creek... excellent drink and one of my personal favourites for £30-40 mark

  4. Had a great shoot today and fantastic overall experience

     

    I was made to feel very welcome by Tom and his team

     

    The hospitality was good and there was an awesome atmosphere all day.

     

    The rain kept away until after lunch but didn't dampen our spirits in the afternoon despite getting pretty soaked.

     

    Thanks again to Tom and the other guns for a great day. Can't wait to go again in December

  5. As a Jags fan I'd say book to see the Jags/Bills game.

     

    The Jaguars are the "nominal" home UK team and its great see more and more people getting behind them at Wembley.

     

    Its definitely worth it for the experience. Get there in plenty of time to look around the tail gate and don't buy cheap tickets.

  6. Not going this year but usually do Avoriaz/Morzine (snowboarding)

     

    Couple of friends did Christmas and New year but the snow was rubbish.

     

    Snow still isn't great for most of the French resorts but forecast looks good... fingers crossed for OP
