Yeah, walk in the park!

Bloody Hell, not even half time and it’s 2-3 at Boro, it’s quite a first half!

I wish you’d told me earlier, I’ve rear ended three cars this afternoon! [emoji3525][emoji3525]

I’ve never heard of that before, I’ll have to find a quiet road and give it a try.

At no point did I suggest that the Rolex be treated as an investment and the safe/insurance has been covered earlier.

I’ll spell it out simply; If you want buy a watch to wear and enjoy, the...

We will just have to agree to disagree then.

Buy a £10k Rolex (new) or a pre owned Rolex at a reasonable price (not the vastly inflated over RRP prices of late) and a few years down the line,...

I disagree; with a service every ten years it’s not expensive when annualised out, insurance is optional and if you’re paying cash then there’s no cost of capital unless you specifically want to...

I always preferred the National circuit on a bike too (never driven a car round the circuit). It just seems to flow a lot better and there are still more than enough places to pass slower riders.

The camera does appear to pan left and right.

Great video though and the National circuit too which is, IMHO, much better than the full circuit with the Melbourne Loop.

Out of interest, what...

I stand corrected, I always thought the W was for Waggon and S for sedan.

Every days a school day. [emoji106]

Why didn’t you keep the car?

I kept my van when it was written off in December, replaced a tail light, pushed the dent out of the bumper and pocketed £6k

Just as a point of pedantry, the S211 is the saloon and the W211 the estate.

If you can pick one up with the rear coil spring conversion then you’ll never have to pay for the expensive air...

My only issue with VAG is the dual mass flywheel, my son in laws 60 plate A3 has just cost him £2.5k to fix. It wouldn’t have been worth it apart from the low (sun 40k) mileage.

At that money,...

Not the cb750 but from the same era, this arrived yesterday. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240418/9bf4384b833590123e0e9f6694a72b96.jpg

Well I’m thinking of going down to three (or four!)

I Can’t disagree with any of that.

My initial point about good timekeeping is still an important factor for me though and however good the level of finishing is, if the timekeeping is poor then I...

That’s great new Tony, hopefully the weather will kind and you can enjoy the summer. [emoji106][emoji1696]

Whilst we are currently seeing a correction from the past few years of madness, I think they’ll always continue to rise (albeit at a much more realistic rate) as I can’t see Rolex either reducing...

I certainly not suggesting that Rolex watches be used for investment purposes, just that they can be a low cost ownership proposal again. They certainly have been in the past.

And I also agree...

Indeed, but I wasn’t really thinking about the madness of the last four years or so.

Now it seems that relatively normal service is being resumed, buying most models at or around retail should...

It depends on your definition of value for money. Long term, Rolex watches are much better vfm than most because they tend to increase in value.

Spend £300 on a San Martin and that’s £300 lost...

It’s got to be the FE.

You could be right, but not for me; poor time keeping bugs the hell out of me and I only use my phone as a bedside clock. I don’t use it for the time during the day although I do wear an Apple Watch...

I agree, I was just pointing out that it’s not all marketing and any product is going to cost a lot more to produce in Switzerland than China.

Big bikes are addictive but smaller bikes that you can push closer to their limits are more fun in the real world.
