The Jaguar F-Type R 75 is a refined luxury two-seater sports tourer, but is it fast, comfortable and stylish enough for the £103 K price tag?  We took it gallivanting around Gloucestershire, staying at the Tewkesbury Hotel for a little golf and fine dining to find out.

The R 75 comes with the 5.0 litre supercharged V8 with 567 bhp powering from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in just 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 186 mph (300 km/h) and an automatic ZF 8 speed gearbox. Its 4.47 metres long, 2 metres wide, weighs just under 1.8 tonnes and does around 26 mpg.

Readers may recall my enthusiasm for Glenturret, which I previously extolled in a prior article (accessible here). Thus, when an invitation arrived to return to this historic distillery and sample the newest entry in their Trinity series, Prowess, I eagerly cleared my schedule. As an added treat, I was also afforded the opportunity to dine at Lalique, the distillery's Michelin-starred restaurant - a long-standing aspiration of mine since my initial visit to Glenturret in 2021.

London Concours 6-8 June 2023

For those seeking an exquisite Cantonese meal in central London, the recently opened Chop Chop restaurant by Four Seasons, nestled in the basement of the Hippodrome Casino in Leicester Square, is a must-visit. I had the pleasure of dining there recently and was blown away by the quality of the food, which exceeded my expectations, and transported me to the streets of Hong Kong.

Blended and grain whiskies have historically been regarded as inferior to single malt whisky. Unfortunately, this category is often subject to gross generalisation, as many people form negative opinions based solely on experiences with brands such as Bells or Teachers, without exploring other options. However, if they had sampled premium blends like Chivas Regal, Johnnie Walker, or Royal Salute, their perception might be different.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was born on May 2, 1972, in Hayward, California, and is of Samoan and Black Canadian descent.

Before becoming a professional wrestler, Johnson played college football for the University of Miami, where he won a national championship in 1991. He then played for several professional football teams, but his career was cut short due to injuries. Johnson then turned to professional wrestling, where he gained fame as "The Rock" and became one of the most popular wrestlers of all time.
