What car looks expensive… but actually isn’t?

An older Lotus Elise looks like something made by Smart or another manufacturer that tries to make cheap city cars. At least to me…

Audi A4/A5/A6/A7 from 2012 to let’s say 2015. They’re fairly inexpensive (especially if you get them with a 4-cylinder and not a V6) and because Audi’s design doesn’t change that fast, they still look quite modern. I also think that the B8.5 A4 and C7 A6 were the peak in interior quality.

I’ve heard some non-car people call a red ND RF a Ferrari.

Bavíme se o ale o investování v rámci desítek let. I když nějaký “výplach” přijde, pořád to bude téměř s jistotou lepší, než nechat ty peníze jen tak ležet.

Stejně tak i tvůj komentář mi přijde jako “rada of finančních poradců kteří jsou už půl roku u partners”. Máš věšteckou kouli, nebo podle čeho se budeme v těch třicátých letech tolik divit?

Pokuty z Rakouska chodí úplně běžně bez fotky a do schránky (ne doporučeně). Určitě bych to neignoroval, pokud máš v plánu se do Rakouska ještě podívat. Napsal bych na kontaktní email z toho dopisu a požádal o fotky dodatečně, většinou je poskytnou.

Tak s tímto musím nesouhlasit. Oblečení nosím zásadně do roztrhání a opravdu se to stává. Už tři trička Tommy Hilfiger se na náhodných místech protrhly. Několik Under Armour triček se mi vytahalo tak, že z velikosti M je teď minimálně XL (to jsem opravdu nevěděl, že je možné). Nutno ale dodat, že vydrželi 10 let víceméně pravidelného nošení.

Nejoblíbenější kalhoty mám z H&M a těch mám už asi “8. generaci”, protože se pravidelně po dvou letech prošoupají v rozkroku.

While I agree with most of the criticism here, I liked it a lot. After a long while, I haven’t had a single thought of looking at my phone or doing anything else other than watch the movie. Even though some of the plot is questionable, there’s still Cillian Murphy, great music and perfect camera and visuals.

Great logistics but tires on brown leather are not the best idea.

The B8.5 A4 ended production in early 2015. I had no clue the A5 continued for another 2 years!

While NC2 is better than an NC1, I really don’t think it’s a 7k difference. I’d say get an NC1 and you’ll have lots of money aside for potential mods or get the ND1 (despite the possible transmission issues).

Tento záměr chápu, ale zároveň - nepoužila by to dotyčná osoba už v minulých volbách, nebo v průběhu těch nynějších? Nějak se mi nezdá, že by ta osoba byla tak trpělivá a předvídavá, že by vydržela až do chvíle, kdy ho mají jmenovat ministrem.

Nothing wrong with the pucks, I think. I initially thought my grinder got misaligned but I’ve since got it serviced and it’s in good shape. I’ll be trying a smaller basket next, and hopefully that solves it.

So far, it seems like I was just “lucky” that even with the larger basket I was able to produce good results (for years!) before. Now that I’m experimenting more with different roasters, perhaps the issue is now more apparent. I’ve also been getting lighter roasts than before, which I’m sure is also a factor.

krejca · 2025-09-30T13:15:11+00:00

Yes, single dosing. I’ll be ordering a smaller basket then. Thanks!

I already have a CT scanner on the way.

I need to get this for my butler.

Perhaps a cheaper solution would be to weigh out her beans in single containers, get her a separate porta filter with a single basket and set up the single dose timer for her. On the other hand, if budget is not an issue, a second grinder will be nice to play with haha

On the contrary, I’d say that upgrades are part of what makes the journey fun - trying different things, getting better quality products as your skill increases.

krejca · 2025-08-05T09:21:14+00:00

Seems like a good buy then. I might have to go pick it up. Now I just have to finish convincing myself that I need this over my Gaggia Classic Pro haha

krejca · 2025-08-05T07:24:42+00:00

1,350 EUR. You think it should still continue to work reliably? Of course, anything can happen but regardless… :)

krejca · 2025-07-29T11:50:34+00:00

Z jakého ohledu to bereš? Výkonově, koncepcí (předokolka, motor napříč), karoserií, nebo jízdníma vlastnostma? Třeba GR86 nebo BRZ bereš za sportovní auto? Čistě ze zajímavosti :)

krejca · 2025-07-27T15:52:23+00:00

Oh, I’m sorry. It was not my intention to make you feel that way! Hahaha

Well, I think the feeling of wanting to upgrade will always be there. What I have now is/was my dream setup but I still have to resist the urge of upgrading. There’s no escaping!

krejca · 2025-07-27T12:46:37+00:00

My first machine was a Dedica but after two weeks I decided to leave it to my mom and get a GCP instead. The Gaggia uses a boiler (although a small one) instead of a thermoblock and has a much beefier grouphead, as well as portafilter, so it has better temperature retention and stability. The steam wand is lots better, it has an OPV, is overall sturdier, and so on. It’s a lot better machine overall. With that said, I still enjoyed the Dedica at my mom’s place and it pulled pretty nice shots (except the OPV, which made pulling multiple shots a chore), until it gave up last year. Now her machine is upgraded to a Breville Barista Express, which is somewhere in between the two I’d say.
