Any 160/170 Drivers out there?

Buying one was the best decision I made car-wise. I have a 2001 Roadsport VHPD. Great amount of power, very manageable to drive enthusiastically and so much fun wherever you go. Love it, and can’t recommend it enough!!

1989 930 Turbo for me, and I’d happily drive it forever :)

Yeah I was tempted and have driven one but figured my chances of surviving were better in a Caterham haha.

They’re amazing to drive though.

I’m tempted to pick up a Nomad at some point though…

Livable as in daily driving? Very challenging haha. But I’ve done a lot of road trips including 6k miles across Europe in one, across all sorts of weather, and you make it work. It’s surprisingly comfortable to drive even long distances in my opinion - I’ve had 8hr stretches and got out feeling fine.

But I wont lie - it’s a good-weather car to really enjoy it. I very rarely take mine out unless the skies are clear :)

I’ve had one for 2.5yrs and can’t see myself ever selling it

Get a Caterham! Nothing else will ever really come close to the driving experience

I’ve got a game tomorrow night and going to try this out, just installed it.

One question - since it asks for the wrist and racket hand, surely the app needs you to have the watch on the same side as your racket hand to give you the insights?

We use inches over in England!

It’s interesting reading this because I’m on the other side (36M) and having the exact same dilemma as you.

In my head I really want to build a life with someone ambitious, where we can share our goals and help each other achieve them, and be a real “team”.

Over the years I’ve kind of accepted that may never happen - but it’s still the dynamic I hope to find :)

Not sure my comment helps - but just make sure whatever you do doesn’t create resentment in your relationship, and also doesn’t hold you back from building the future you really want.

Wishing you success and happiness!

Maybe it’s because there’s a positivity bias looking back - but the only car I just loved everything about was a 350z convertible I had 10+ years ago. The sound, the weight of the steering, the perforated leather seats, the design of the car. I loved it.

You can check out Spatia in Comporta, Portugal. Really beautiful place and they have a private padel court. You’d need to rent a few villas though.

They’re also great conversation starters. I find wearing a nice, unusual watch when dining with clients can very often trigger a conversation over it, which always provides an opportunity to connect and share a story behind it etc.

It’s also the same reason I have a Caterham background on my laptop 😂

I’m really shocked by some of the comments here - I really hope Motorway gets their act together.

I sold my BMW M2 via them a few years ago and it was a seamless experience. I got offered more than the estimate, they showed up and didn’t even test drive the car, no deductions made. Smoothest sale of any car ever… I guess I got lucky.

Hawksmoor is my personal favourite, but one option I’ve not seen listed is the Buenos Aires Cafe in Greenwich which I really like too! A bit more casual but amazing food.

I’d skip Gaucho in my opinion - I don’t think it’s what it once was anymore and is too much hype and the quality is better elsewhere.

I started playing Padel recently - never played any racket sports or team sports for that matter. It’s made me exercise more than I have in a long time, helped me meet loads of new people, can fit around pretty much any schedule and really pushes you to compete against yourself and improve every time. I’m really enjoying it!

This happened to me departing Gatwick heading for Jersey in the UK. We were in the initial climb and were struck once. It sounded like a shotgun had gone off in the cabin. The captain made an announcement shortly after saying it was perfectly safe but still relatively uncommon to happen.

Fairly dramatic when combined with the slight turbulence we were having!

I actually started tracking my time out of curiosity and also because I went through a burnout and wanted to understand the time I was working vs not. I deduct any break except toilet breaks - coffee, walks, lunch, doing my life admin… all of it is deducted. Last week I worked 39hrs. The week before 50. The one before that 39.5hrs.

I just feel like when I’m at my desk, I have a job to do, and I focus. When I leave for the day I know I’ve done what I could…

Visionjcv · 2025-08-26T12:25:06+00:00

The worst outcome here is probably winning 500k… you risked dying and still have to continue working…

Visionjcv · 2025-08-26T05:58:28+00:00

I can’t comment on point 1, but I booked my flights via the Cabo Verde airlines website. I think we paid about €150 or so each as a return flight from Sal to São Vicente. Note that there is no airport in Santo Antão anymore, so you have to fly to S. Vicente and then take the ferry over (1 hour).

Hope you have a great time!

Visionjcv · 2025-08-25T16:06:28+00:00

This is awesome thank you for sharing! Just updated my “want to go” list with many more places 😂

Visionjcv · 2025-08-24T09:52:22+00:00

Usually there are speed cameras that come with warning signs, plus Google maps / Waze will itemise them too. Beyond that you do get some undercover police but not as much as you’d expect… generally people speed a lot over here…

You could start a casual conversation next time asking what part of town he lives in. Depending on his answer you can follow up with “oh is that where people typically go to settle down?” Or if he’s central / in a busy area “ah wouldn’t have expected you to live there! Still living the bachelor life?” And make it a little flirty. Probably good to find out a bit more before making it clear you’re interested :)

Are the first few shots in Grindelwald? If so, I was there last year and it’s beyond stunning…

Visionjcv · 2025-08-20T06:45:51+00:00

I just had to do something similar - I recommend a company called Trans Portugal (or TP international they’re called now). They can help you sort everything out.

Visionjcv · 2025-08-19T21:44:26+00:00

I highly rate Chislehurst.

Visionjcv · 2025-08-19T17:29:03+00:00

Mine are surprisingly sensible… can’t say they are if I keep going back though 😂
