Are we all a bunch of real ale drinkers?
Maybe Pimms & lemonade?
Gin & tonic (Plymouth...of course)

Perhaps it's Bolly all the way or maybe just a nice drop of Blue Nun?

What's yours then?

I'll have a Cinzano please barman and a spritzer for the lady. biggrin

Hmm, Heineken is #1 then maybe Blue/Black Label...and a little of the Goose. Even something called Hoegaarden, very tasty in my opinion.
This is between us Jag owners though, because I'm not exactly of ahhh age to drink...beer

For me?
Real Ale?...........Yes Please
Gin & Tonic.........No thank you, never been taken by the smell
Bolly?..............Well Mrs Hex is rather keen on Champagne, but until it's well over 20 years old, acquired that beautiful deep colour and the youthful effervesce has has matured in that more sophisticated depth of taste. I would rather quaff a nice Real Ale or Red wine. These days I've become allergic to some white wines and started to react quickly to the last Champagne I tried. Of course the cad in me approves of the stuff, as Ogden Nash said "Candy is Dandy; But liquor is quicker"

Other than that,
Red Wine............I generally like that aged too. Mostly drinking Chilean red at the moment, but they are getting younger. A top end Australian or French Red takes a lot of beating.
Pure Malt Scotch....I favour Lagavulin.

Nobody having a crisis over X300 vs X308, timing chains, gearboxes or Nicasil at the moment then?

Oh well, mine's a pint of real beer then please, or a G&T. I've given up on red wine - even half a bottle nowadays leaves me with a vile hangover frown.

Wine either Chablis or a decent red or G & T but always Bombay Sapphire & schweppes, with ice & a slice.....
Non alcoholic is tends to be grapefruit juice & soda or tomato juice with everything in.

Jaguar Steve,

Seems that age is creeping up on you, but do not be dismayed, as agewise I am ahead of you. I'm 66, just had a strong Bacardi & Coke while cooking dinner for two, shared a bottle of wine, and had a large brandy plus coffee afterwards in the garden under the stars. Maybe this sounds like S-Type owners such as I have serious alco problems but, hey, it's Saturday, I'm at home and and it's a nice April evening...and there's an F1 GP tomorrow!

Ardbeg 10 is my favourite. Only problem is that I have to drink it quick else the wife helps herself...


...I need a private study with a walnut desk, Ardbeg in a drawer and a humidore hidden away.

Assuming it's a nice day...

Real ale at a country pub when the XJ12 is behaving; when it isn't, something cold and in a can and easily to hand while fixing it!

Whisky (balvenie double wood/single barrel is the usual tipple) with a nice cohiba siglo III cigar drunk

if i can't have a nice double with a splash of water, then i'll maybe have a beer, usually german beer (Erdinger Weissbier if possible)!!

Any decent 10/12 year single malt Whiskey and either ale or stout. When I'm skint I drink lager though I'm afraid.

To second the above a huge cigar is a must. Cohiba sounds good but I actually quite like the American "Sweets" or "Jewels" these days. Smell amazing!

Petrol, whiskey and cigars... The route of all happiness.
