Carlsberg Commute.....

Yeah, you're right, they are 'middle' ethical, along with a whole load of others who need to up their game.

I only get my (3rd wave) coffee from 100% ethical sources, though. It's fairly easy to do these days, if you're so inclined.

 

And Costa is now owned by Coca Cola.

Find an independent coffee place and keep your money local is my motto. Not always possible though I grant you.

 

Flippin eck, you lot don’t half waffle on!

Back to the OP, that bike looks fantastic, I bet you’ve been grinning all day.

 

This turned into the most Middle Class thread on the forum. Discussing coffee!! Ad nipping to the continent in his Aston to buy his favourite roast!

 

Only drink Coffee when I’m on the move in my van all other times it’s Water, so local is not viable.

 

And why wouldn't he? I might join him if I can get the time.

 

Was out in my Stag today, roof down wishing I was driving down to Le Tranche Sur Mer

 

Stags are good, love to have a nice properly sorted example one day.

 

Trust mine to go anywhere, however, I have an annoying oil leak it isn’t bad but annoying. I may tackle head gaskets this winter.

I’d love an Aston but wouldn’t dare carry out my own maintenance on one, which is part of the “joy” of having the Stag, I do everything myself

Sorry for the thread high Jack.

 

Good luck with the head studs.

 

Yup, had that battle with the LH head last year, which is why I haven’t done the RH head

 

Seem to recall that you can get different type of stud now but can't recall if it is just slightly undercut to reduce contact with the head or different material, poss st steel?

 

Yes, they’re called “waisted” the shank is turned down slightly, I found this out afterwards
I put copper slip on and when I re torque the heads I will turn the studs also.

Again, sorry for the thread high Jack

 

Loctite 8008 goes up to 980deg C

 

You've a fleet of demonstrators to choose from when the dealerships not due to open until September?..........
I presume if Sept weather is fine the opening might be pushed back till October

My local Turkish restaurant do the best coffee by the way....

 

I like Costa even the machines beat most other places and most home made coffee. SBux have got a bit better of late I'd say, at one time it awas a half hour wait fro a cup of warm mud. I'm a bit of a coffee bore too. Real Favourite is Valvona and Crolla but that's 80 miles away. I make do at home with Gillards of Bath and Another Coffee of Devon's wonderful coffees.
