Poll: Futuristic or Vintage vehicle - which is your preference?

 
 By: cazalea : July 15th, 2019-15:07
Please reply with one or the other general preference in the title of your reply. Bonus points for identifying the watch! Cheers, Cazalea ...

Futuristic cars, but vintage watch for me! [nt]

But not the easiest pastime !

Classic and modern for me.

This will work

Sorry, another try!

Are you visiting my neighbor? If so you have Beverly Hills BMW plates on the car and a wire running out the driver door

 
 By: cazalea : July 15th, 2019-16:37
I suspect it's not you. Do you know what that black wire could be? Mike

Mine is the Sephisto Grey color but strange about that wire...

Maybe the driver is trying to measure something on the rear “wind channel”??? ...  

Both

 
 By: Jurry : July 31st, 2019-01:05
I just like both. Can’t help it, I like the i8 a lot, that Volvo is gorgeous, my modern new S class drives perfect yet when I get in my 74 Mercedes SL500 I feel happy as well.

Futuristic (modern I would say)

 
 By: 1WatchMan : July 15th, 2019-16:43
But I appreciate classics as well.

I’ll just say ICE over electric for me.

 
 By: jp884 : July 15th, 2019-18:47
Their has to be a visceral connection for me that electric simply cannot deliver regardless of the 0-60 numbers.

Futuristic electric for me. [nt]

Vintage Citroen for me...

I'll take the Ochs & Junior watch as well, Cazalea.

Good try — it's the Paul Gerber special for PuristsPro

In between MIH and O&J: Triple rotors Mike ...  

I love the DS...

 
 By: jporos : July 16th, 2019-16:35
but the Deux Chevaux is great as well.

Neither!

 
 By: sham1 : July 15th, 2019-21:07
Vintage cars are lovely to look at with their detailing but are too expensive to maintain. I once had a Mercedes 190SL which cost me one thousand sterling pounds a month to maintain After six months, I had to sell the car, as the head had to over rule the...  

I too have not driven it! :-)

 
 By: sham1 : July 15th, 2019-22:47
My automotive holy grail as it costs double in Malaysia as it does anywhere else due to import taxes on cars.

I am reluctant to drive it......

 
 By: sham1 : July 15th, 2019-22:50
just in case it feels as good as it looks in which case I would be in a predicament as to whether to get rid of all my watches or buy the car. Okay, okay, no competition - the watches will always win!!

Agreed

 
 By: sham1 : July 15th, 2019-23:45
which is why I drive a lot cheaper a car so that I can afford both in Malaysia!! While in London, it was Aston Martin Vantage and Patek while in Kuala Lumpur, it is Subaru BRZ and Grand Seiko!!

I know, I know

 
 By: sham1 : July 16th, 2019-00:44
Aston and RW Smith wouid have been better but my RW Smith will only arrive in 2022

Ha! Ha!

 
 By: sham1 : July 16th, 2019-09:12
The price of an Aston in Malaysia is the same as a Patek minute repeater and the Patek would win every day!!!

Crazy! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : July 16th, 2019-09:14

CRAZY???!!!!! Your 200.000th post and all you write is “Crazy!”

 
 By: ChristianDK : July 16th, 2019-10:10
I had expected something spectacular. Anyway- huge congratulations dear, dear friend! ...  

Your 200,000th post was to me??!!

 
 By: sham1 : July 16th, 2019-10:24
That I am truly honoured and shall always cherish. You are a legend Nico!!

It seems so! ;) [nt]

Nice angle for the photo of your 'rod

 
 By: cazalea : July 16th, 2019-08:24
I like the "upskirt" look with that chrome and paint detailing Mike

Both?

Yes, both. Vte

It is a fine little machine (emphasis on little)

 
 By: cazalea : July 17th, 2019-07:57
and at 1800 lbs (838 kg) it was almost 1000 lbs lighter than any car tested for fuel economy in the USA. The EPA had to come up with a new test regimen because on their standard lap around SoCal freeways the Insight didn't use enough fuel that they could ...  

You convinced me !

 
 By: bimbeano : July 18th, 2019-02:39
Well, actually only about your Honda that is . Love that first picture !

The duck i know every screw of it. But horses ran away, and taking a mountin road is return down the road. The car have charm, but performance like a turtle.
