3 800s here today - missed 1 but a black mk2 vitesse made nearly £2k and a beautiful coupe with 72k and great history was nearly £3k if i recall correctly. Seems like values are headed in the right direction at the moment!

You can always double the trip up with a visit to some of Scotland finest distillery and return with car and a few bottles to enjoy when you get back, hic,hic

There's a slight problem there Steve - i don't drink! Even if i did, i don't like scotch as i found out when i did drink. Now if it was Jack Daniels or a Southern Comfort distillery nearby, i might just make an exception! :wink: :lol:

It's Bourbon Whiskey, flavour differences and much smoother to drink than the scotch Whisky i've had. Not tried Irish Whiskey which is (so i'm told) different again to Scotch.

It's a bit like different sorts of bread but more expensive and makes your legs more wobbly! :wink: :lol: :D

I've never liked whiskey anyway.
Back in the day I was a vodka man.
Don't touch spirits at all now...

Just have a few beers and even that ain't very often.

Never really got the taste for any type of whiskey or spirits in general. I certainly never got the taste for how they make me feel the next (few) days either.

I like a nice real ale if I'm going to have anything, which is isn't often. I find that as I've gotten older, I dislike being drunk or even tipsy. A pint's pretty much my limit these days.

The biggest difference is age.
When we are in our youth we want quantity.
In our golden years we look for and want quality.

I like whiskey and real ale, but both are savoured as they should be, and now enjoy the moments when the urge takes me.

Back in 1978, I visited friends while I had a really bad streaming cold. I was pressured to drink some whisky and water in a small glass tumbler, and I gave in. It worked like magic and within a half hour my cold had dried up. I hated whisky before that experience and I still do. But I always have some in the house just in case. All things have their uses.

I keep half a bottle of (cheap) brandy for a similar reason Nick - with it a bottle of lemon juice and a jar of honey. If i get a cold, 2 teaspoons of honey (runny variety), a good squirt of lemon juice (about enough to mix the honey to a more liquid state) and a generous double measure (roughly) of brandy, topped up with boiling water.
Drink as quickly and as hot as possible before bed and two or three nights treatment usually kills the cold. If it's really bad i go for the Russian version - change the brandy for vodka and the lemon juice for chilli powder - tastes like sh!t but shifts colds and flu like nothing else! :wink: :D

Dave

How did we get from cars to cold cures?


Anyway, Its the Jamaican version for me. Wray and Nephew Overproof white rum. :)

And Scotch.

Bought my dad a bottle of 35 (maybe 33) Year old Oban Single Malt a few years ago. That was epic.
Didnt pay the retail price of several hundred quid though!!
