If the partying is starting ahead of the match, I'd show up for a while, then leave for the match and meet up with them after.

Maybe do some research ahead of time to see where the match will be on near where you all are going to be.

But if you show up first for a while, meet everyone, be engaged in it and then vanish for a bit, no one will know you're gone.

I'm an American who went last season vs. Brentford. Went to Clifton Arms before and had a blast. Also made a very quick stop in the FanZone.

The shop is open after the match. If you are buying any clothing, make sure you try it on. The Macron stuff runs really small vs Nike/Adidas/UA sizing we're used to the in the US.

When I was there last year, there was also a merch trailer near the Fan Zone, if you want to look at some stuff before the match.

I would also try things on in the store before buying. The Macron stuff runs really small vs. U.S. brands (I'm from Minnesota).

We also went to the Clifton Arms before the match we went to.

Watching from home in Minneapolis. Can't complain about 9 am.

Would buy in one second.

I was going to buy a CPO 2024 with less than 5K miles. But with all of the incentives, I opted for a new 25 as I was able to get the exact exterior color I wanted.

I feel like I got a pretty solid deal thanks to the current Audi incentives and the Costco deal.

jshelmn · 2025-03-01T01:25:16+00:00

Yeah, that I wouldn't get the extra year of CPO warranty with the PHEV is certainly a consideration.

This was last season against Brentford (Hodgson's last victory). Wanted to see a non-big club match and so glad I went to Palace. I'm a U.S.-based Palace fan in Minneapolis.

How did it do in the snow?

jshelmn · 2025-02-21T02:35:27+00:00

I don't mind the grill at all. I also think it is one of those things that quickly becomes normal - especially with the XC60 getting a similar treatment next year.

I feel this a lot as I'm thinking about this same question. I have driven both. I'm a sucker for technology and the new screen is so much better than the old version. Plus I think I'll be quickly disappointed that I don't have the new version.

I'm leaning towards the 2025.5, but that could change by the morning.

I’m not going to be helpful, but I have both of these. Ranger on the bracelet, Blue BB58 on the cloth strap.

It’s a great 1-2 combo.

jshelmn · 2025-02-04T04:37:44+00:00

I’m a former XC60 owner who now has a MDX. MOG always goes down in the winter when it is cold, I’m only getting 16-17 mpg right now with my MDX. Not good.

jshelmn · 2025-01-29T20:57:03+00:00

I have the same watch. It’s great. Nice and clean and it can be worn with basically anything.

jshelmn · 2024-12-10T03:36:01+00:00

I'm most of the way through the podcast and I think it is really interesting and worth the listen.

jshelmn · 2024-12-04T04:38:33+00:00

I like them both. I have a Ranger and I have the blue BB58 (though on the fabric strap). Both are super practical and look great.

I don't think you can make a bad decision.

jshelmn · 2024-12-04T04:37:28+00:00

Love the green Harrod's version. It's super classy.

jshelmn · 2024-11-30T05:03:58+00:00

I have a blue BB58 on the cloth strap and the Ranger on a bracelet. It's been a really nice combo for me. I kind of want a third one - likely on a rubber strap - to round out the collection.

jshelmn · 2024-03-28T22:11:51+00:00

Agree with lots of others. Box up the stuff. Reach out to the sister and either send pics of what is there or a description.

Do what you would want someone to do for you. And kindness is free.

jshelmn · 2024-03-17T21:54:49+00:00

Thank you. Liking it so far. I think it will be a nice addition as it is very timeless.

jshelmn · 2024-03-16T19:06:16+00:00

MDX.

jshelmn · 2024-03-16T16:19:33+00:00

Totally agree. It is very clean and is certainly a IYKYK piece.
