You may only live once, but if you do it right once is enough! Live your dreams and look after your friends. Love skiing, sailing, classic cars, & keeping fit.

@ListerLawrence @AvonandsomerRob Had one for 4 years in large 1950s house. It works well down to -3C when a gas boiler kicks in to help. It uses vast amount of ‘Lec but we have 100 solar panels. Heating bill was +£6k/yr now Zero. Payback is c11 years.

@ListerLawrence Your mum is truly brilliant.

@ListerLawrence @Welsh__Laurie Yay. Mine are 55 and 94 years old!

[Michael @mcnc59]

@ListerLawrence What a brilliant story.

@ListerLawrence I did not have one but in 2008 I spent time in Switzerland with both the Q7 v12 and an R63. The R63 was much faster off the line but the Q7 did corner better and its noise at idle was epic! Only thing better at idle is a PII with the cut out open. 😬

@ListerLawrence @mattwridley Made me laugh!

@ListerLawrence @rovnni I sat next to your mother at a dinner. She is a fabulous person.

@ListerLawrence @M_perez949 Not much can really ever beat a Corniche. I’ve had ours for 30 years and still can’t find anything that works better for us.

Night drive in the PII Continental: always a treat.

@AutoPap Totally true, only the unicorns return any profit. I allow £6k/year of ownership cost on a classic which over my 30 years and 60k miles of use is about £2mile + fuel & insurance on top. If I sold it then capital growth has halved that annual cost of ownership but still no profit!

@tom550993 Height in yards, certainly is taking the piss!

@Ferdinand641 That looks wonderful - another great job by Richard.

@AutoInfatuation @L_33_H In Scotland that might now be known as Murrell/Sturgeon spec!😬

@Autoweltmedia We had a 420 estate. It was brilliant. I had it for 12 years and it ran perfectly for the first 11 years and the suddenly rusted very badly. I then bought an R class.

@ListerLawrence @mindofprospect I grumble when I see convertible cars with the roof up - I secretly suspect it is to stop the ‘hair do’ from being blown in the wind!

[Michael @mcnc59]

@AutoPap In the US and an Escalade was produced: I declined to get in to it and took a cab!

[Michael @mcnc59]

@TufferB Another day of crap weather!

[Michael @mcnc59]

@ListerLawrence @rawlimark I love it, with the added bonus that the purists would be frothing - invariably fun to see!

[Michael @mcnc59]

@ShamiKalra I also see you with a slight weak spot for a Milgauss….
