The fine art of making your boss think that you're on the phone to a customer, when you're really on the phone to CAMS to get your licence number so you can renew it: Achievement Unlocked.

Surprised to see JW in your list Hamish, I thought you hated the stuff. I too vote for Green; it was one of the better tasting from a non-scotch connoisseur. No love for the Chivas or Royal?

I quite like JW. I just think Blue is over priced. It's great and all, but it's JUST NOT A $170 bottle. - you can get highland park 18 for less

I used to drink green but alas it's gone :'(

I drink black as a daily (when it's $37 a bottle i usually buy one or 2 and it hits that price all the time)

Double black is also an interesting drop as the barrels have been charred quite heavily so it's a very individual taste

Also I drink a lot of blends too, i dont see the point in single malt snobbery... some blends are fantastic.

In the last 12 mths approx, i have been through blends - jw green, black, red and blue, balantines nv, balantines 12 and balantines 17, dimple 15, hibiki 17, and a chivas... so it sits probably 1 to 1 to my single malts (if you dont include the JW black daily)

I too don't think it's worth $170 a bottle, but then, I'm not huge on scotch, so to me no scotch is worth that beyond bragging rights of owning the extravagance. I do have two bottles of it though; one was a present and the other I bought because it was a little less than $150 T the time (it was on special and I also knew the staff member at LiquorLand). I have to be in the right mood to drink it; elated over something and celebratory by poolside, or in an anniversary of mourning.

Few years ago I remember the regular JW Black 2 for $50 special that used to appear at liquor stores. Should probably be buying up all these as they seem to be increasing in value over time / over and above inflation.

I'm more into the well to do champagnes, which aren't as good value because they don't last nearly as long and are easier to waste on people who don't appreciate them, unfortunately.

Was considering buying some at Changi, but had already spent too much on clothes. DP was also only $140AUD ea at the time, if you bought two of them.

The Veuve caught my eye, too. Lovely packaging.

little fridge is cool... used to have all sorts of VC merch as have worked heaps of places they sponsor

Dom is epicly good and would pay $140 but not if i had to buy 2.

used to crack a bottle every week that we made $28k in food and costs were below 25% when I was at Cosi... a deal I made with the owner cos she thought we couldn't do it

once it became regular it changed to veuve though :P

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
