  1. Nice, always good to check. If anyone has a rubber rep strap for sale please let me know. Kindest Chrono
  2. Hi All, I am just waiting for the arrival of my repaired Breitling BCE but since it was broken since forever I used and then sold the old straps so I dont know what size I need to order as a replacement. I am guessing 22mm but just wanted to put it out there. Thanks in advance Chrono
  3. Anyone that has not taken part in the raffle in Watches please take a looks. It's a great raffle and more importantly it will hopefully help get one of our best patrons a helping hand during a tough time. A lot of people complain about faceless charities, well here is one that has a face, some great tattoos and a lot of history here.

  4. Time for some gentle mods to my little Pasta Missile, new stripes, remap and soon new wheels and wrap. 190BHP and near on 250 Nm of lovely torque. Shades on, top donw and find me a road with broken "safety" cameras
  5. Nice piece AJ. Courtesy of your recent sale I am now rocking the FM CH Jumbo today.
  6. One point about classic mini Z-cars - if you don't know do a search, utter madness but great fun to drive. www.z-cars.org
  7. I must admit the boot(trunk) is not that big but if I jack out the rear seats it can fit about the same as the Cayman
  8. Thanks, it's more fun when you take off the safety features like traction control
  9. I got the wife a VW Touareg so I can have fun with this little fella and fun it is. Reminds me muchly of the good old days when the Mk1 Golf GTI and my Pug 205 1.9 GTI would wither the manpieces of fat cat Mercs, Jags and Rovers around both street and country lanes. Both smoking fun, smoking fast and my mother wouldn't have gotten into either of them
  10. I was introduced to the idea of layering complimentary scents. Current favorite is Issey Miyake and Terre D'Hermes. Takes a bit of juggling to get eh balance but holds well, fresh and zesty and mellows of to a good spicy finish later in the day.
  11. Oops, I completely missed the official wristie post so lets try again Just out of the box from the ever steadfast MR AstonJenks and on the wrist for a big Bank Holiday Countdown
  12. @Beachcomber - Similar beast but on steroids - I considered a Porker but TBH this is more stealthy and gets a lot less attention from the police and running costs are borderline sensible but my goodness Autnie Agnes it can shift. Ladies and Gentlemen - I give you the Abarth 500
  13. Just out of the box from the ever steadfast MR AstonJenks nad on the wrist for a big Bank Holiday Countdown
  14. Indeed, the only option is to replace the top bushes. I am going to go the Bilstein route and head to Rob Boston Motorsport to get the suspension geometry bang on. Can't wait to find what's going to fall foul of this diminutive rabid mouse
  15. Found a gen dial on the bay in a pale mint green, might consider this for my CH arriving today.
  16. Agree with that, however, the base 500 Abarth is a good bit of fun as is, start chucking money at it and you can get some great gains up to around 200BHP and with better brakes and suspension you can get a great little pocket rocket. If you want to see how far you can go then this is still a 500 albeit a mental supercar bothering terrier. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-eurocars/pogea-racing-announces-330hp-abarth-500/31945
  17. It will mean a fair amount of work and cash invested but its worth it for the look on some of the drivers that get burned by the mad little scamp Much as I like the comfort of an autobahn barges the hot hatch segment has always appealed to me more. As Karl Abarth described then "Small but wicked" cars
  18. Slightly more expensive but recently took delivery of my latest toy. "Dorrie" is currently undergoing some changes but track days will be on the menu for mid summer season. For those that are interested in such things currently she has had the following mods Koni FSD shock all around Eibach springs to drop 50mm on rear and 35 on the front Tarox F2000 front and rear GTT Induction system and soon to be receiving a boost to 180HP (220 BHP will be next year with larger front intercooler, 1446 Turbo, jets and ancillaries ) Runs well and the tiny terror is already surprising a few mercs and BMWs
  19. Hi All Where can I lay my hands on a domed plexi for a rep Big E from anywhere or am I likely to have to get one made up? Cheers
  20. TBH I like the style but it's more wrist arte industrial than usable timepiece Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. Thing is, a rep costing a quarter of the price of an original seems a trifle expensive to me. Mind you since the price of the Ancon x35 is 700 used it makes this rep look a lot less interesting if you just want the style Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. Cheers ceejay, not as if they will be updating so don't see why they can't get these silly details Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. Hshahaha, the beer calendar strikes again Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  24. Cheers chap, couldn't resist the Brooklands but really fancy the Stourbridge for later in the year. Assuming you got one which did you get and whats your thoughts?
  25. Hi All Just curious to know if anyone in UK or Europe has ordered any non watch, jacket in thinks case, from TB. I have ordered before with TB. And been very happy but I just purchased a jacket and was informed that airmail delivery time was between 20 and 48 days.... Four months seems a trifle excessive so wanted to see if anyone else had had any experience of realistic shipping times Cheers in advance Chrono
