Ooh I ought to try the scones with clotted cream idea, sounds like a reasonable excuse I believe it was, the original bear is half his and half his sister Joanna's , he's joked on TV about her having the bottom half or something 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to make litres of various fruit infused and macerated spirits. There's still a litre of apricot vodka made in 1996, still in the Kilner jar complete with apricots, at the back of one my cupboards. I keep forgetting it's there Do you do any of the infused zest ones, like Fladderak or Schilletje, on a gin/eau de vie base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iantt Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 my dad had an orchard full of damsons, !Removed! things, picking the dam damsons took ages to fill a 12lb tray. and they all had to be picked to stop the wasps congregating before stinging me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I find my log books, I can let you have exact the recipes if you want, but they're not were I thought they were Fladderak (pronounced fladder -rack) is lemon zest macerated in gin and then sweetened later. Off the top of my head, it's the zest of four lemons, placed in a large Kilner jar and topped up with gin to the shoulder of the jar. Agitated every day for a month or so. It's then strained and filter through a coffee filter on to white sugar, at the rate of 115gm sugar per 70cl bottle Whereas Schilletje (pronounced schill key) is lemon and bitter orange zest with a piece of cinnamon macerated in eau de vie (white brandy) Here it's the zest of 2 lemons and 2 oranges and a piece of cinnamon bark. Seville oranges if you can't get the bitter ones. this time the spirit is the French eau de vie (aka white brandy) or failing that vodka. Agitated daily, again for month or so. It's then strained and filtered on to the sugar. This is made sweeter than fladderak, the sugar rate is 150gm to 70cl bottle I have experimented with other citrus fruit with the fladderak recipe, some worked well (grapefruit, citrons, kumquats, limes and pomelo), some OK (mandarin oranges, ortanique) and some not (ugli fruit and satsuma despite their fragrant skins) firstly it was a pain to scrape all the pith from loose skins from the inside out and then the fragrance failed to carry itself into the spirit.

Arwen Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Went to Knockhill on Sunday for the BTCC. Lovley day out, much noiser than I thought it would be! (Had to go buy ear plugs...) I am now undecided on what colour to respray my car. I've always love the newer shade of tangerine scream, and had planned on getting my car resprayed that colour in a couple of years time. Now however, I've found that all out yellow is rather nice too! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Rather than a full respray which is going to cost untold amounts of money and time to do properly, not to mention appear as a change of colour on vehicle documents which will in turn get buyers wondering if the car has been in an accident. Why not go the vinyl wrap route? Cheaper , easier. And can be removed if you want the old colour back. Gotta agree though if I were ever to get a focus (which unlikely as I'm a fiesta fan), it'd be in tangerine scream 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 There are a few reason for waiting a few years before I respray it - 1. wait till finance is paid off. 2. make sure the car is what I want, and will last. The plan is I keep the car until it no longer works pretty much, so I am not concerned with resale issues. However, on the V5 it is down as yellow (it is that weird green/yellow colour just now). Apparently tangerine scream is also classed as yellow, so no need to change the V5 anyways :-) The paint work is rather icky due to it being covered in stickers in a previous life. So I will need to do something about it if I decided to keep the car long term.I thought about vinyl, but I really like the depth that real paint gives. And I wouldn't want the old colour back :-) Ahh... tangerine scream body, black roof, replace the chrome trim with black and redo the alloys in some for of grey/black. Can't wait :D 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Yeh I see what you mean when you put it that way, back when I test drove a titanium before putting the order in and purchasing my old titanium x, it was that hot mustard colour, so I can definitely see why you'd want to change it lol. As you're going to be the cars only keeper are you going to go for a full 'proper' respray or just the visual bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Lol yea hot mustered is the name! I keep calling it baby sick... :-) Which is bad, as I don't completely dislike the colour, it is just a bit too odd. Even for me. I'll be getting it done properly, engine bay, door shuts and all that. Otherwise it will simply annoy me when I inevitably see the old colour at times. There are a few body shops around where I live, so I'll have a choice of where to get it done. Which will be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I do like seeing the new local Mustang again, still unsure where it comes from though. it went past us, just as Brandy and I were concluding her morning stroll. coming down the hill behind my house. It is the 5.0L version. 2 hours ago, Joss max said: I do like the fact that today is Mine and Lynn's 36th wedding anniversary.

Ianb Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I like the 2016 5.0 litre mustang parked outside our place today....would love to have a go hahaha.... although 5 L's seems a bit like an expensive run around.... I looked them up and saw they do a 2.3l ecoboost...even though it's still a big engine...sounds like nothing compared to a 5 L Pics to follow... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed at how comfortable it was. Could happily do a good few hours driving in it. In fact, out of the Edge, Mustang, RS and ST, I found it staggering how much more uncomfortable the ST seats were in comparison to the other 3.
