    My old man recently passed away. He has owned this E55 since near new. Previous owner was a friend of his. I decided I would buy it from the estate pending a go over. He always loved this car and we have spent many hours towing around both my previous E30 series car and the current dormant E34 race car over the years. I enjoyed driving it so I thought I would keep it in service. Probably not the smartest move with the price of petrol about to drive the cost of living to near Switzerland levels. So off on my Mercedes journey I go.

    Prices for raw coffee beans have seen inflation like any other. Add to that the cost of everything else that goes into the sourcing, roasting, packing of coffee beans, then to the cafe for grinding, preparing and making your coffee (sometimes with milk - dairy prices also up) so $6.50 or thereabouts is not crazy anymore in the current world standard. I was paying 5-6 euros when I visited some nice cafes in europe 3 years ago. NZ enjoyed amazing good quality coffee for years at $4-4.50 but this is not sustainable anymore. I reckon around $7 a cup will and should be the new standard if you want a decent cup of coffee from a proper cafe. More if you opt for alt milks like oat, coconut, almond etc. A good alternative is to invest in a good quality coffee grinder $100-200, buy your own whole beans from your favorite roaster, and brew hot coffee yourself using something simple like a french press or a moka pot - both great if you like your coffee black. You can also get a milk steamer/ frothing wand if you need/want it white or add hot water and a dash of milk. This is much easier than the $1000's home espresso machines which are not the easiest things to use. Nespresso machines are also quick and easy but taste is..

    Ive serviced for main targa twice and co driven south island targa once. Its a huge amount of fun. Only thing i can say is take 3-4 days off after to recover. Oh and pre order a windscreen if doing tour. It really doesnt matter what car you have, can always drive a slow car fast.
