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

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
