Going on holiday for a week to a caravan. I like good coffee and have nice setup at home. I have now purchased my mobile setup (cue wife shaking her head in despair):

Dev, that looks really sweet.
Can I suggest if you haven't already tried it, picking up a v60 and some papers for about a tenner?
Completely different drink to an espresso, using the same beans. So much so, I've completely stopped drinking espresso based drinks as I enjoy the ones from the v60 much more - and can actually pick out the tasting notes without having seen them on the label!

I do V60s all the time. And you’re right, I sometimes enjoy the coffee more than what I can make with my La Marzocco Linea mini which cost me nearly £4K. Can I suggest if you haven't already tried it, picking up a v60 and some papers for about a tenner?

Regarding the JMax, there’s a lot of hand wringing that it “can’t do pourover” grinds, but it does a stonking job.

You always be assumed a SoP post in this thread will be a good one.
We need photos.
You shall have them when we pick it up Wednesday! It’s having the cam belt done just as a precaution. It’s red, 88 I think and in stunning condition. We need photos.
In my defence your honour it was an accident.
We have a TR6. I’m not sure why we have a TR6 as it’s not a car that’s ever meant much to either of us, but it was a bit of a barn find years ago and it’s finally on the road. Anyway, fair to say I dislike it. It’s rattly uncomfortable and to be perfectly honest since the last slip up when we bought the Abarth Spider it’s not used. If the sun is out we instinctively head out in the spider.
Anyway took the TR6 for an MOT last week and on the car park was an XR2. His eyes light up. I said “don’t know why you don’t sell the TR and have one of those, clearly means more to you”. I sowed a seed in his brain. He had the MK1 XR2 when we met and wanted the MK2, but by that point they were stolen so often that the insurance priced him out of it.
Spoke to a friend who does our bodywork who by coincidence had a mate who was selling one. Had a look, his little face lit up and we now own a MK2 XR2. He’s excited. Ive threatened to put a ‘Shaz and Baz” sticker in the windscreen.
Now need to sell a TR6.
I bought my 3rd BMW Z4 Coupe in late 2019.
When they were new BMW offered Aero sill covers for about £350 a pair, but I think they came in primer so still needed paint.
But they have been NLA for years, so they sell for silly money now.
Still late last year a pair in the right colour for my car were advertised for sale on a Z4 forum and I just couldn't resist.
They cost the best part of £1K, but the seller did deliver and help fit them - actually in reality he fitted them, and I helped!

Wasn't from a garage near Southampton was it SoP? If so, it'll be from a good mate of mine. Pretty sure I saw a red XR2 there last time I saw him.
No. Not from there. As I say weird coincidence really as there aren’t many left so finding two pretty nice ones in the space of a week was strange. I really want this beauty…
