For a laugh I used the GT’s sat nav instead of Waze this week. It actually still works very well, but in a very Bentley way it sounds exactly like Margo Ledbetter. Which got me thinking – she was always the connoisseur’s crush of the two of them, right? It wasn’t just me?

Very pleased with my new Tudor Black Bay Bronze Heritage. Only headache is strap shopping. It’s 23mm lugs and I’m trying to find a really high quality, two-piece, ballistic nylon strap for it. You know, the slightly thicker, tougher stuff rather than the thinner material used on most NATO and pull-through straps. David at The Strap Tailor does lovely ones but not in 23mm. Anyone know somewhere I can look? Hunt so far has come up short.

Endlessly shite. Watch posted to me SD on Saturday. Hasn’t turned up. Tracker has got no further than it being accepted at the post office it was sent from. Attempts to speak to someone…”the average wait time to speak to one of our advisers is…over 60 minutes”.
It’s utter crap. Get it gone.

Have been looking at a car (mid 70s V8) which has switchable LPG fitted. On one level this is good, namely 30mpg rather than 10mpg, but on lots of others it’s bad. Resale value thanks to non-original is one, but the fact that the spare wheel now lives in the boot (LPG tank is where the spare used to be) means naff all luggage space which is silly in this kind of car (big saloon).
Latest round of negotiations are an offer of a price reduction and the removal of the LPG system, which is tempting, but my knowledge of LPG is minimal. There’s no ECU obvs, but when fitted don’t these systems require some drilling of the head? Anyone able to advise on how simple/not simple removal of the system is and what I should insist on if I go ahead with it?
