A truly grand piece of machinery, mate - I can see why you bought it. I'm not going to post my current car to this thread as the tree kinda spoilt the lines.... lol. I'm taking the AMG for a last spin today, but I'll be back to driving a crappy courtesy car tomorrow (a horrendous piece of garbage made by Renault ... or Peugeot.... one of those, I forget... ).

Yeah, I agree. We should start a serious one when we get back to RWG1.

Is that PVD? Great looking cars - I agree

Ugly, poor handling, far too expensive for what it is.

Problems? naaah. No problems.

Well, they can wash MY car any time they like. The jelly mould you can keep.

No taxis, true - they use those for delivering mail. BTW That has to be the ugliest/stupidest-looking car Mercedes ever made (with the possible exception of the A class).

Prolly not since the computer gets set from a network time server

I know - I was trying to find a quartz Daytona just for you, but the SLR was the closest I got..... :D

That's how I invariably set my watches. Still gonna be kinda hard to tell with this thing, but we'll see.

From Eurotimez, yes?

$118. Tag Mercedes SLR

Benz porn I live just a few miles from Mclaren's HQ where they build the SLR. Awesome car, but just a tad outta my league.

Oh, I'm sorry: "It beats the photos of those high quality 1:1 indistinguishable from the real thing canal street reps that Onze posted". Better?

ewwww - well, that's put the damper on the thread for sure

This is better

No, I'm posting Rolex to this thread to wind you up :D And seriously, whilst I wouldn't buy one myself, I think it's a nice looking watch. Anyhow, it beats the canal street junk that Onze posted.

Hell, I could just get a skateboard.... Has she lost her ice cream? Anyway, Mazda doesn't count. Benz or nothing.

For alphakazi

This is a car thread. You can only have boobies if they're draped over a Mercedes.... Just got back from giving the AMG a good run - steady drive down to Portsmouth for lunch and back after. The round trip is about 120 miles, 80% of it being fast dual-carriageway, which means a fairly economical trip - just 20 mins or so of country roads at this end, and a short stretch of slow roads in the middle. I filled up the tank before we left and filled up again when we got back so's I could work out fuel consumption. So... on this journey I got 30mpg. WTF!!!!??? A big, heavy, car with a 5.5 litre supercharged V8 and it does 30mpg! How!!!??? On the same journey, I've never gotten much more than that in the old car with an engine less than half the size. First time I did the figures, I thought I'd got it wrong, so I did 'em again.... Yup. 30. I didn't even take it that easy - just drove how I usually do on that trip (which I do often). Gonna try a cross-country journey tomorrow to see how that fares...

These are all a bit too expensive for me..... :D Not too impressed with the IWC as the case looks wrong for that model. The AP is VERY nice, however - I might not be able to resist that one. The Rollie DeepSea lite is also very tempting. The Corum looks like an explosion in a candy factory, but to each his own How about this: Bvlgari Assioma Petit Complication. Same 1:1 case as the 'super rep' Assioma. Working flyback hour hand. $138

LOL - yeah, I just can't resist 'em. It's not just that I'm cheap (although, of course, I am ), but I'm truly astonished at how good a watch can be at these kinda prices. Photos don't do it justice. Although it is 40mm, it wears smaller - feels smaller than my VC, certainly. I've been wearing it since it arrived and so far it is completely accurate (or at least, as accurate as a watch with no second hand can be). We'll see about power reserve, but my $55 rollie manages about 30 hours...

Moths.

Okay - for a change, I'm going to talk about watches. Once again, Tony's been amazingly quick sending this watch. It arrived in just 1 week - and that's by airmail! That's about as fast as Josh manages to the UK via EMS! Second time he's done it too. Anyhow, I bought this through his CQout store for about
