Yaris GR!!

[Wack61]

Well, I’d definitely walk past a Smart car to get in a Yaris, I’ll give you that

Hey, I like my smart car

Currently in Hereford then on a 5-6 day trip through Wales , it's not going well , no early start tomorrow then

 

[CatmanV2]

One of you's only on tonic. What's the problem?

[Wack61]

I took beer as the safer option

 

[Oneball]

Should’ve had a cider as you’re in Hereford

 

[Wack61]

True ,too much choice though

 

[Oneball]

Westons is good, they do an alcoholic ginger beer too.

 

[CatmanV2]

And they sell it in the US. It's a Bulmers (from memory) brand. Fascinating how these things change

Nope, Weston’s is Weston’s. Family owned and still based in Much Marcle. You can buy direct from the on site shop. Over the top of the Malverns from us. Bulmers is also local but a different company, my folks used to live in the middle of one of their orchards. The Bulmer’s lad had a Bizzarini in the 60’s

They’re all local, so know the history. The Weston place is worth a pop in if you’re ever near Ledbury.

Drinking this after our recent jaunt:

That was the stuff that knocked me out when I locked myself out of the house last summer , 7.2% I think , 4 bottles and I was on the floor

Is 'Old Rosie' still made?

Yep Weston still do it in a gallon jug, they’ve got a traction engine called Old Rosie.

Ah, of course, now I remember. I named mine Rosie too, although it was a traction engine rather than roller

 

[montravia]

And I remember my first Old Rosie. Bu%%ers didn't warn me. So I had a second. Might have a third but oddly can't remember

 

[Wack61]

Verdict is in , I've spent the last 3 days driving it round Wales , on A roads B roads and thanks to Waze some a foot wider than the car with grass growing up the middle

It's awesome , easily the best driving car I've ever owned , you don't need the circuit pack though that's probably 80% of their sales , it goes wherever you point it

I'm so glad I made the decision to go for it , without the speed limiter in the passenger seat it'll be even better

Treated it to a jetwash as it was filthy

Glad you're enjoying this little pocket rocket Darren.
I'm looking forward to giving my lads MK1 Golf GTi a blast next weekend with its 16 valve motor close ratio box and limited slip diff.
Always enjoyed a small light hot hatch.

Yeah , I've also owned a range rover that definitely didn't go where you pointed it
