f5mando Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 rkdk: Are you on DK or UK? The Beemer is a RHD with UK plates, but all the rest are LHD! What year is the XJ8? I looked into these a couple of years ago, and the newer V8's are (among other things) more reliable than its V6 predecessor, but with the same MPG rating.

JBond Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I'm sorry but I can't believe members who drive a 90.000$ to 125.000$ cars and bought replica watch. That just an antagonism... C'mon guys PLEASE!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f5mando Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I drive several Bavarian beasts, but this is the only one that matters. My first "real" cars were two 2002 tii's - a '73 and a '75. Back then I had the hots for a 635L. My buddy had the Bavarian 'Batmobile' version with the 'wings'.

alphakazi Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 my house costs much more but I still buy replica's not blowing money needlessly allows one to spend on what's important - a $20-30,000 watch for a working man is just silliness - even a $5k watch is unnecessary where I'm from $100k income/ year after taxes doesn't get you very far - it's definitely not a great idea to blow $ on an expensive gen - especially these days after all, it's a bloody watch for God sakes - it's a fashionable way to tell time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f5mando Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 (edited) I believe you know what you say but you don't know what you're talking about Now, that's antagonism!

greg_r Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Now, that's antagonism! Sorry but the word is antagonism and not "anachronism". I know what I say. Sadly not. Antagonism: noun 1. an active hostility or opposition, as between unfriendly or conflicting groups: the antagonism between the liberal and the conservative parties. 2. an opposing force, principle, or tendency: Her plan to become an actress met with the antagonism of her family. 3. Physiology. an opposing action, as by one muscle in relation to another. 4. the opposing action of substances, as drugs, that when taken together decrease the effectiveness of at least one of them (contrasted with synergism). 5. Ecology. a. a relationship between two species of organisms in which the individuals of each species adversely affect the other, as in competition. b. the inhibition of the growth of one type of organism by a different type that is competing for the same ecological niche. Anachronism: noun n. 1. The representation of someone as existing or something as happening in other than chronological, proper, or historical order. 2. One that is out of its proper or chronological order, especially a person or practice that belongs to an earlier time: "A new age had plainly dawned, an age that made the institution of a segregated picnic seem an anachronism" (Henry Louis Gates, Jr.) Strictly speaking, anachronism is also incorrect in this instance, but it's close to what you appear to mean. "incongruity" might have been a better choice of word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzenuub Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Can this one please be explaned in Dutch. That is so much easier for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBond Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Sorry but where i'm living people who buy Aston Martin buy real Rolex. Look. When you buy this type of car, you live in a 1,000,000$ house with 125,000$ car and a 5,000$ watch. antagonism: is when 2 things are oposit. Ex: You have enough money to buy a 125,000$ car but not enough money to buy a 1,000$ watch (or more). THAT's antagonism. I know many of us have hobbys (I love cars and I can do stupid things for that). BUT, here any bank can give money to a "normal man" with a "normal" life who want buy an expensive car... Imagine: car:125,000$, insurance: 12,000$/year, gas:70$/2days. I know what I say and exactly what I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
