Watches seem to go hand in hand with cars, in my experience anyway!
So what do you all drive? Do we have any old classics under a cover in the garage?
Whilst I'm looking around for my next watch purchase, I am also considering spending the money on a MK1 MX5 and supercharging it for some summer stupidity. Only issue is I've run out of space to keep it!
I couldn't love it much more - I live in London, work silly hours, have a girlfriend who doesn't really 'get' cars (it didn't help that I got this one on her birthday), but have still done 16k miles in 17 months! Mountain passes, open roads, cross-country, you name it it laps it up. Highly, highly recommended. Could be a little more raw on occasion but as a package it's unbeatable.
Appreciating fine things is of course different to getting cars, I'm told :-)

With custard.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
That looks like a lot of fun!The four toys, after a washing session.
I drive this during the week and in the rain etc...
And this if its ever sunny, as the tyres don't work in the rain or cold...!

Hello! You on vx220.org?Hello from a fellow Europa NA owner :D
Is yours supercharged? I've been thinking abut it but instead looking to upgrade the wrist wear instead :)
Took the car on a track day to llandow in the summer and it was keeping up with road tyre'd turbos easily, as it's running R1R tyres.
Bit crap in the bad weather though.

Yup same username on .org been on there over 8 years and had the car 7.5. Didn't make it to the national though as it was the weekend after a bit Scottish Elise event.
Used to have plans to move to a tubby or supercharge it but I love it so much I'm scared of ruining it. so bought a motorbike instead :D
+1 but insert e220d for c200 and Kawasaki 1100 for Honda 1000.
I recall getting seriously blown away by one of these back in the day, some really stealth ones out there.At least can find this in car park,and can raise few eyebrows.Volvo 850 T5-R
Admittedly not in that colour though!
Have a sneaky feeling that this may well be mine by the weekend...
Bit of a difference from the Clio 182

No, I had the front wall knocked down so I can get the ML onto the hardstanding at the front of the house. Planning application is in for the dropped kerb and my builder is back next week to smarten things up.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
The car I enjoy driving the most - an '88 Golf Mk1 cabrio. Similar to this one:

Nice pic of a great car, that's some spec as well.

Heres my car! I'm afraid that today a Ferrari 599 GTB is parked in front of it ;-)
Here's mine.....long restoration.
Probably the last drive of the year last week to a pub. The car is now in an air chamber awaiting nicer weather.
Currently driving this

Those grass patches around make it look like you and your neighbour really need those muddy 4x4s.
You can never be too careful, but to be respectful to the environment and others in their Eco boxes, I mainly use the V8 Range Rover for the school run...Those grass patches around make it look like you and your neighbour really need those muddy 4x4s.
Just bought this to relieve the 'perfectness' of my 520d.
This is my new toy - yet to test - but makes all the right noises in my garage
