I missed you entirely! Were you walking or driving??

I'm driving in again tomorrow, will keep a sharper eye out!

Walking. I was later than normal as Clapham Common was closed so I was walking from Clapham South. I'm WFH tomorrow, so I wouldn't look *too* hard. Unless you're lost :)

You should pop in for a coffee. You can sit behind mine for a while, if you like :)

That sounds a very pleasant proposition. Am in France for a few days though - let me bring you back a bottle of red. Will give you a buzz over the weekend if that's convenient? Cheers. :excellent:

Ahh, you're always welcome. We are having a BBQ on the Saturday with some other noisy buggers in attendance. Coffee will not be on order, but wine will certainly go down well, so if you're around, please do stop by! Sunday we may be recovering if last year was anything to go buy (Blu Elettrico, we're looking at you and your Di Saronno habit). And probably most of the week.

You have my mobile on the emails?

Do you guys "do" Rosé? It's very southern, very dry and very dangerous :smile:
Perfect for a BBQ. Can drop in a box - but please don't let that put you off. It's most quaffable.
I may be able to persuade a local GC owner to pop along too. Maybe - his wife doesn't trust me :p

Oh ****, yes *I* do Rose (the rest of them can bugger off!). Especially Provencal or Luberon type rose. There will be slow BBQ pork (it's going on Friday pm) and many other good things :)

Any time after about lunch, but if you still want to drop in sooner, you'll still be welcome for coffee and nibbles plus anything else that's around. No idea what time the others of the clan are planning on getting here if you want to meet them, but they are staying in local hotels so that may be an option.

Right you are - this is completely out of the blue and a very nice surprise. Thanks for the welcome. Not so sure about Provençal Rosé though - isn't that for women :)
Was going to get you some Cinsault. "The" proper stuff. I guess I can put on some red trousers and buy Provençal if I have to ;)
Alternatively, have you tried Listel? By far the most popular Rosé in France.

Cinsault or Listel would be also divine :) Don't put yourself out, chap. There will be loads of booze here (well there usually is) so whatever is convenient :)

Went for a walk and passed this lovely beauty, looks great from the front. Groan, every time I rotate this it still posts sideways.

Nettuno Blu QP GTS in a car park in Grasmere village, back of beyond in the very wet Lake District.
Looked lovely in the rain.....

Just drove 750km through Ireland. Number of Maseratis spotted (apart from my QP, obvio): none.
Nice wide parking spaces, though.

A quick shout out to Chris - this man knows how to cook! A very pleasant afternoon spent with you and your guests - even if I did bring a wee bit of Scottish weather with me :)
Many thanks again for the invite - was just sorry to have to bu**er off so quickly. I trust you all enjoyed the rest of the evening as much as I did the afternoon. Thanks again Catman!!!!

Well done for your IT skills.

I pressed the PrintScreen button on my keyboard, opened MSPaint, clicked Paste, clicked Select All, clicked on Rotate Right 90, moved the image around to exclude background, and clicked Save. Simples!

That's not quite true - to get it perfectly rotated, I actually: pressed the PrintScreen button on my keyboard, opened PowerPoint, clicked Paste, grabbed the image handle and rotated it until straight, clicked Copy, opened MSPaint, clicked Paste, clicked Select All, moved the image around to exclude background, and clicked Save. Simples!

Next time you may be able to solve the problem just by finding the file in Windows Explorer, clicking the Right mouse button and selecting Rotate Right. (maybe that works)

White Levante on the back of a low loader on M4 around Reading. Probably being delivered rather than broke down. Going past it was a LHD Range Rover Velar...Had a load of shrink wrap
On the front so was testing maybe but it was the finished car. Side by side it made the Levante look pretty dull styling wise.... It's a good looking car the new Velar. Lots of people seem to slow to take a look.

Saw a black Stradale just outside Epsom by Nescot college... not one I'd seen before but looked very mean. Is that anyone on here?

Lovely to meet you chap :) The charcuterie was delish, and I shall look forward to sampling the Rose :) We have your steel tray still. What would you like us to do with it? Send it?

Cheers!
