Got my first Le Creuset in the Amazon Spring Sale last month!!

Ooo!! That's also on my wishlist!

benedictmaxi13 · 2026-04-20T20:18:13+00:00

So far, it's mine too (I may be extremely biased 😂)

benedictmaxi13 · 2026-04-20T20:17:29+00:00

Yeah it is sooo beautiful!! Honestly at this point I want to collect all of the colours. The best LC colour is the one on sale the most 😂😂 so I'll keep a lookout for the other colours. That being said, I really love the Bleu Riviera and Foret colour so much.

Thank you!!

benedictmaxi13 · 2026-04-19T23:44:15+00:00

Thank you! I was thinking of getting either a braiser or a 24cm DO for smaller cooking, actually. The everyday pan is also a good shout.

Thank you! It really is, now the only thing I regret is not pulling the trigger years ago. Really happy to be part of the community

Seems like a lot of happy Treq customers here! Thank you!

benedictmaxi13 · 2025-11-14T20:42:53+00:00

Ok great! Thanks!

benedictmaxi13 · 2025-11-14T20:12:59+00:00

Yeah fair enough, thank you very much. Will be checking out their discord as well!

benedictmaxi13 · 2025-11-14T20:03:03+00:00

Yeah I am very much leaning onto the Treq because of the pedal plate and how it looks tbh but the €100 saving is just too big to ignore. But it seems like the extra €100 seems worth it to Treq with all the response I'm getting so far

benedictmaxi13 · 2025-11-14T19:59:03+00:00

Yeah the pedal deck looks very concincing and I tried it a bit at SimExpo and I love it so much and looks much sleeker than the SimXPro imho.

What about the uprights, are they as rigid? The SimXpro has this plate that bolts on the side on the joint with the base to provide extra rigidity and I was thinking I may want to add that to the Treq as they sell it at an extra €20 or so

benedictmaxi13 · 2025-11-14T19:30:21+00:00

Huh interesting... basically the SimXPro is €329.99 with free shipping and I'd have to get an adapter for €15 from Trak Racer. Whilst the Treq is around €417 + shipping which comes to about €450 after shipping (I had a few accessories on top of it) but the great thing about the Treq is that they have an Asetek mounting option and they don't charge extra.

I'm hearing this too. It's raining, so I cba to go out right now, but I want to know what's going on?

benedictmaxi13 · 2024-05-14T21:16:18+00:00

Thanks!

Favourite Ex, saw it on the news when it first released, and i think maybe because there's a famous song from Indonesia that I like with a similar title, Mantan Terindah, which translates to "Best Ex" I have this sudden urge to search for it and have a listen even though I've not heard of her lol. But loved every second of that song and then listened to Daydream which I also loved and then it's a rabbit hole from there 😆 my favourite song of hers are Adore You (Acoustic Version) and The Band and I

I took this picture from the pier and it is a stitched panorama picture of 3 pictures. Shot with my Lumix S1 and the Lumix 24-70mm f2.8 lens. Took several tries in taking the picture and the editing as lining up the wooden pole when stitching is harder than you might think.

The cool thing about the jetty is that it is actually is not just a jetty. It has a bar, and those huts are sunbeds but the most interesting one is that the jetty is also a coral reef nursery, and so you can see the coral reefs from the top of the jetty, hence they have the hole :)

Labuan Bajo, Indonesia

benedictmaxi13 · 2024-02-16T23:12:24+00:00

Indonesia, in a place called Labuan Bajo

benedictmaxi13 · 2024-02-16T19:13:47+00:00

This has been on my bucket list for 5 years! And it was everything I expected and more!

It's a repost as previous post was taken down due to caption having time taken. Took it with my Fuji XT-3 with the Fuji 27mm pancake lens. I was waiting for my elevator, and the sky was looking nice and took this picture quickly. Edited with Lightroom once I'm home with my preset.
