I have just glanced towards my wine rack and can see over 100 bottles (3 months supply)
I'm trying to persuade Mrs L that we need another wine run to France but she thinks that is not a good idea! Present stocks - ZERO! Future purchases - 3 btls per week!
That might be why we are trying cider making from the apples this year (well it would be a waste not to!!).

Vans have thier uses you know.....
Have you noticed we can use the V word without being pounced upon as being pikeys. Might there be some hope for the RRS brigade?
That wagon would look impressive if full going trough Customs at the tunnel. "All for personal consumption sir??", "Of course orficer.....hick!".
Would love to do a vino run but gotta persuade Mrs L that I won't be drinking it as fast as I was. VA, might even give you a lift as the boot in your RRS is far tooooooo small!
That's a boot I thought it was only a trinket box....... or a medalion storage bin

"On october 2006, six D3´s managed to transport 1,500 liters of wine from Spain to the UK without breaking one bottle. For more information visit your nearest Land Rover dealer".

Got my Mantec plate today!
How easy is it to fit, looks like 4 bolts but is it awkward to get to the nuts to tighten them? Only had a very quick glance under the car when I collected it today.2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Its a doddle - 10 mins work. Hardest part is lifting it up whilst you put the first bolt in.

Cheers, it was easy to do. I stuck some foam strips around the edges that touch the painted bumper, works really well and should stop it rubbing. Thanks to JMC for sorting this out, top item!2020 BMW X1 18d XDrive X-Line Auto

Fitted mine last night. Many thanks JMC for organising this, very good of you.
I found that my platic oil container was just the right height to wedge under plate as I fitted it.
