I love cars....
Here are a few from the collection
1990 Mercedes Benz 190 evolution 2. Car is 65K on the clock. If Darth Vader would drive a car, this would be it I guess. The spoiler package has been developed together with the Stuttgart University.
The second one is a bit more muscle. It is a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that has mostly been rebuilt with a 392 Roush engine. It has Nitrous. It has a stage 3 suspension. Lots of small stuff additionally. Very clean
and one of the modern ones, an Aventador S in "jet fighter" grey. That V12 engine is just to die for. The sound and the power. (First pic is done by a professional, second just an iphone snapshot)
And... the wrist shot. Zenith 16520 behind the wheel of the mustang

Ok, guys - time for Wrist Scan! It's 'Driveway Week' - let's see . . .
. . . what's in your driveways, real or imagined. I graduated from high school in '74. If I could've afforded a new car then, it would've been a 4-speed 360 'Cuda. This lucky guy has one of 360 made in that last year of Plymouth's pony car production run....
For me it's..............
2 Toyotas, a Highlander and a RAV4, both Limited and AWD.. For imaginary, an Aston Martin.
Probably will still be the.............
Bell and Ross BR-123-92, can't seem to take it off lately,
My love for petrol was always with
Italians Not that I would mind Charger or Challenger or both in my drive way On other hand my friends have preference toward Germans in general Dream car...well..all cards down...Ferrari and one for you Art Alfa & Omega HAGWE dear friends ...
My philosophy of life: "Drive German, . . .
. . . eat Italian - you can't go wrong." When it comes to sporting cars, it's always been Porsche for me. As they say, "To each, his own." Warmest, Art PS - yes, I got the pun!
Great shots desr D!! I feel an Alfa looks ...
Awesome with any of those watches you show! Love the car brand and love the watches! Hagwe my friend!! Cheers! Abel
Ha! Revelation 1:8...
Your wit is matched only by the breadth of your knowledge, dear chum! Cheers, pplater.
Dear mate
You know what would be real revelation for me!? To see what's on your wrist this weekend This week WS just got added value with you joining us! Yours till heavens recede D
If I make it to the NYC Purists g-t-g next summer . . .
. . . will you pick me up from airport in the new Bimmer?
If you fly into Newark, yes.
If you fly into JFK...God bless you and keep you. I still want to know why you chose "Goat's Head Soup". And what do you know about next Summer that I don't know?
The '74 360 'Cuda of driveway dreams . . .
. . . and Goats Head Soup were released almost simultaneously in the summer of '73, when I was transitioning to my senior year of high school and could do fifty pushups in a minute flat, amongst other long-forgotten abilities and accomplishments. Those we...
Well, your description of the album is "spot-on", as Camilla Parker Bowles would most assuredly say.
If you would have come East this weekend you could have participated in GTG discussions. Perhaps. Maybe. Not sure.
No car here but a superb shot of a lovely watch...
... makes me feel we have a winner here! Hagwe! Abel
Thank you all.
I bought this watch shortly after my mother's passing in memory of her ... Simple and understated, yet elegant and sophisticated.
Lincoln land yacht! . . .
. . . way cool, Arie. Partial to Chrysler Imperials myself . . .
It was a blast to drive, and I remain a bit sad selling it. I miss the damn land yacht and the way it found its own way in negotiating corners.
But the new owner had way more love for it, so it went to a very good home.
The perfect blue to match the blued screws of my Breguet La Tradition... and the dial of my Chronomètre Bleu I’ll wear this weekend
Green friends are welcome of course This blue E-Type could be perfect too Best wishes Alkiro ...
E-types are arguably the most beautiful automotive design ever . . .
. . . and one could say the same for La Tradition . Have a good weekend, Alkiro! Art
That CB will be a perfect match with that beautiful Etype 👌🏻😘
Great pics as allways my friend 🤗
You got some of my dreams here my dear friend Alkiro!!...
... let me keep dreaming! One of them I feel I will fulfill... the others I doubt! I’ll be a very happy man with the Breguet anyway! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
What a color match !
Ok, lets call it a goal, if not reality yet 😀 Thanks for the wonderful blue pics Stefan
The goal would be the Jaguar not the Ferrari 😉
Thanks for looking. Best wishes Alkiro
How about a nice driver’s watch. The camellia’s are
in bloom and enjoying the cold winter weather. Best, Tim ...
With a driver's watch like that, there's gotta be . . .
. . . a driver's car in the driveway ;-) . . .
My ‘driveway’
Working on the old sets this week, we call these ones ‘choppers’. And on the wrist: Planning on hitting the pool after work. Enjoy the weekend everyone! ...
This is the recent re-issue, right, Harry? . . .
. . . Doxa's done right by the legendary originals, imho. And how cool is it to have rail cars in your driveway! You really should own a Railmaster ;-) . . .
Yes, this is my work!
I suppose it’s my driveway equivalent. I don’t have one of my own! I know, I’ve been thinking very hard about it. Now I’m driving trains I should have a Railmaster. Only problem is, I really like the larger movement with two barrels! I’m a really sucker f...
Yes indeed!
It is the reissue, and it’s beautiful. Such a cool watch for swimming in summer.
Roster Clerk
I’d like to post more about my job and the watch I while at work. Can’t have Mobile phones on though while on the job unfortunately.
Air-cooled goodness
1997 Carrera S. Last of the air-cooled 911s. Ocean Blue exterior. Cashmere interior. Factory Motor Sound package. Supple leather option. CD hi-if option. ...
Cool choice
As far as I know they’re not even naturally aspirated anymore! Perhaps a god pair would be last air cooled and last naturally aspirated... one can dream.
Thanks
Indeed, my C2S is the last air-cooled, naturally aspirated, 2 wheel drive 911. Arguably the pinnacle for that purist combination after 30 years of development. I think that's why these have caught the eye of collectors. Also, not too many made. I think th...
Wow, you make a good point
I think I’ll have to read up on this car. Did you guy it new? What a pleasure it must be to own. Sounds like this is a keeper for you!
I've owned it for about 12 years.
There is a lot written about this model. Cf Rennlist, Total 911 etc.
If only we could get your final statement 911 . . .
. . . in a heads-up comparison with Uncle Bernard's early issue 912. That would be worth the effort, and then some. Watch this weekend is? . . .
My garage is empty.
Save for my wife's car and some kids toys. I have what I need on my wrist. HAGWE! Fernando ...
As my dinner companion said earlier this evening . . .
. . . "Who needs more stuff?" Way to go, Fernando - simple and serene. Art
I agree! And If you ever
..need to store your other beauties somewhere else, let me know Top shot my friend. Best regards -- seeks
Getting a ride in it last weekend . . .
. . . was a thrill never to be forgotten, Patrick. Hopefully, there will be another chance soon with a iPhone handy to capture the experience. Best, Art
My first self paid car
still with me. Wearing a dress of dust. Fiat Barchetta. A not so serious watch fits. ...
Not easy to get.
Remember well these colorfull watches in the windows. But it is years ago.
Having caught the Stones 39 times . . .
. . . in the last 39 years, that Zenith is a serious watch in my book! Art
Oh no! Where did I park my car....?!
Luckily I have two hours to find it! Best Blomman ...
Wasn't there a news item recently where a German found his car . . .
. . . decades after losing it in a parking garage?
In the 80s I ‘lost’ a car (BMW 2002tii)
In Amsterdam - we parked it by a canal and indulged at 20’s year old capacity. Luckily found it by accident 72hrs later & the day we had to leave - memories took somewhat longer to return. I’d need a parking meter watch with days on it ;-) Great pic &...
Super trio! And I hope..
..that you had a better experience looking for your car than these guys : ...
My driveway
currently just has a boring workhorse Volvo in it, but one day, I will get one of those: The Triumph TR4 has been my dream since my youth. To go with the car theme and watches, here is my submission for this week. Best, CC ...
Thanks John. The Triumph is a great example
of British engineering and car making. Robust, sporty, great value and for the design...it's Italian
One of my friends has a non-running TR4 . . .
. . . which will be brought up to par sooner or later; it's his personal favorite of several project cars awaiting restoration. Art
Thanks Art. The trouble with restoration...
I would love to do the restoration as well, but it would actually be financially silly as a fresh restoration is much more expensive than buying a good condition, already restored TR4. While parts are all available and reasonably priced, the bodywork is w...
Lovely TR4!
that & the TR5 are the best examples, and before they got too 'heavy' like the TR6 or plain like TR7 & 8. All the best. Giles
Thanks Giles.
yes, TR5 are great but very rare and expensive. I still think the TR6 is a great Triumph but the TR4 is better. Don't even mention the TR7
The TR 4... I have just seen a nice one yesterday....
We all need goals in our life, after all! Enjoy your weekend my friend Stefan
Thanks Stefan, indeed you need a dream and here, it is not unrealistic.
Have a good weekend as well.
Superb Richeville!!
So you just made hatt trick this weekend you dangerous dangerous dangerous man
My Watch On The Wrist today is a ,,classic,, from a young dutch watchmaker , think it looks nice with my classic car
And here is a shot with whats imho a true future classic ...
OMG these two first shots are truly impressive. The strap perfectly matches the colour of your RR 👍
I’m happy to have had the possibility to see this Staudt in real last week 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
I like the curves
Of my current piece of german engineering art and my GP Vintage 1945 XXL ...
OK here goes - some pictures of car models previously owned or driven extensively (plus a few watches)
Finally - my present 'family' car ;-) Great theme Art! Love that 912!! Cheers, Giles ...
All very cool.
I have to say that as an owner of many BMWs your second shot was thrilling.
Thanks Padj!
Owned a 2002tii (looks like a Lada, goes like a Porsche) and later an E21 323i that got thrashed tail out all over Europe. My bro still has an immaculate E36 328i Convertible & a modern 530D series estate. My father had quite a few 'shark nose' petrol bee...
Had a shot at a 3.0 csl a dozen years ago.
Brought a mechanic with me and he said no. It was a beauty though.
the FF was a very thirsty beast, the Impreza a real flyer on country lanes
Cheers Nicolas! Best, Giles
Thanks CC!
The Quattro I had for a year certainly came with some legendary issues! But loved the diff lock switch that made it unstickable. Best. Giles.
Let's see...
If we are talking fantasy cars, I guess I would jump at the chance to own a Gordon Keeble, one of Giugiaro’s early designs. With a 327 cubic inch Chevy V8 propelling it. 99 originally made plus one more from spares later on. Photo from: ClassicCarWeekly A...
Thanks Padj!
It’s not unattainable actually. In some years I might go for something such
Seems like prices exploded in the meantime...
But would definitely love one Thanks Giles!
Yes!
I recall in the 80's you could buy an un-restored GK for low £k - now 100k! Got a time machine? ;-) Cheers Giles
I love cars....
Here are a few from the collection 1990 Mercedes Benz 190 evolution 2. Car is 65K on the clock. If Darth Vader would drive a car, this would be it I guess. The spoiler package has been developed together with the Stuttgart University. The second one is a ...
That Evo 2 😳👌🏻😘
Thats something rare , would love to own one 🙏🏻. That Lambo isnt bad eather 😉
Wow dear Art! You made me dream with your video...
... of the Cuda and the shots of your Uncle’s Porsche! Magical cars for sure!! I have no dream cars in my stable: just an old (2008) Citroen C4 which is my daily beater and a 2015 Ford Mondeo 240hp with turbo (Fusion in the USA) and my wifey 2016 Audi 4 w...
Thank you so much dear Bill! Agree with you: Red and Orange...
... can be a great combo sometimes! Hagwe Bill!! Cheers! Abel
Funny to see that your two first cars selected are the same than me my friend 😊
This Jaguar Type E is a dream on four wheels. Best wishes Alkiro
Glad to share dreams with you my friend!! ...
... I wish they can come true for you my dear Alkiro!! All the best! Abel
Thank you dear Nicolas! The type E is perhaps the most...
... beautiful design ever made: pure lines make for a timeless design. A true dream for me. It almost came true some years ago but I missed the train. As our friend Alkiro says: some dreams should remain as dreams! Glad you like shots and Polaris!! Hagwe ...
I understand well my friend! Those were my same feelings...
... when I was offered that car, specially considering it was powered by the V12 engine. It will remain in my dreams I feel! Abrazos! Abel
Trains, cars and Doxas!
You and Harry need to meet up with Bill and have a few bottles of wine together.
Ah, that '66 - so cool, Abel!! . . .
. . . and the Mustang ain't bad, either ;-) . . .
Thank you dear Art! The Mustang first years are an old love of me! ...
... I’m happy you like it!! All the best! Abel
A P1800 is as easy on the eyes . . .
. . . as a 912. The mid-'60s produced some great automotive designs, no? Not to mention films, music, and watches . . . ...
All great shots!! I specially love to view your Volvo 1800 my dear Nicolas!!
Specially that shot with the Arromanches beaches in background! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
Ok, folks.. Let me see, how to play here.. Took not my stable but another pretty famous one in South Africa
Friends, some of you may have realized, I had been away for a great 6 weeks to our yearly stay in South Africa, jyst recently returned.. It happens that in the Western Cape province, between the towns of Stellenbosch and Franschoek ( The French Corner), h...
An Aston is an extremely rare sight here, h . . .
. . . I can recall only one, a DB4, spotted in Beverly Hills many years ago. Many thanks for sharing! Art
Thx, dear CC !.. Indeed that Superleggera Aston DB 2/4 '56 is an absolute dream.. Already sitting in it pure pleasure !.. I can also..
.. tell you despite that fantastic Convertible, also the DB6 behind also was quite stunning. But yes, the DB2/4 is an absolute dream - well put, my friend ! Best & HAGWE, hs.
I spent just over 2 years restoring a burn't out 1970 Early Bay Tintop shipped from California. No longer on my drive..., just magazine articles and photo's to remember it. For me it's
all about the journey - Great memories .......HAGWE Everyone ...
Actually I chose Dellorto dhla 40's - I found them bit more progressive than Webers. Bored to 1776 lightened and balanced, engle 110 cam :)
Not a monster mod but we squeezed about 120 PSI out of it which made driving it more fun. Made a great sound ! Thankyou
Very cool!
Takes me back to my teens & early 20’s fixing and mod’ing flat 4’s in Beetles and a Bay. Never did a full body strip down tho - respect! Thanks for sharing. Cheers. G. Ps - nitro boost gauge above the dash? ;-)
Ohh! How sweet!! I owned one of these many years ago...
... I loved it! Great restoration job! The watch: also in my wish list!! Superb! Hagwe! Abel
Well those are fond memories and I understand you miss it!...
... I miss mine too in spite of having experienced similar troubles! Lol! All the best! Abel
Thanks Nico,
I miss that fun car. No “nanny state” electronics to lessen the raw driving thrill. Cheers, Tim
Salut, Uncle Bernard!...
(Great to see Uncle Bernard's passion, Art: the very definition of the true enthusiast) The driveway: The dream (or at least one of many, many dreams!): The watch: The dream: [photo credit: Valentin Blank?] Finally, one for our gracious host: Cheers, ppla...
Uncle Bernard . . .
[Bernard, left, with Mom and Dad, 2010] . . . owned a mid-'50s Jag Mk VII before acquiring the 912. Quite the connoisseur . . . ...
I even have a matching watch ... somehow
I really love that car: Compact dimensions, but spacious enough for my two dogs, all wheel drive, and sportscar performance with 310hp and 0-100 km/h in 4.6 secs: And the watch: My only one with yellow details and carbon dial: Tissot PRC 100 Marcus ...
Cars and watches... let me see...
An omega perhaps this time..We managed to get some action shots of the Hong Kong Formula E last Sunday..Good thing I brought the Omega 60th Anniversary Speedmaster, a watch designed 60yrs ago for racing, though Omega is now more famous for the race to the...
I'll match you with a similar Omega . . .
. . . but can't come close on cars! Mine are '08 and '18 Civic sedans . . . PS - congrats on breaking the 1K milestone . . . ...
Late but alive ...
Yesterday I made my last (?) dental surgery and I survived. Today, eating only cold soup, here are my pictures: IWC Aquatimer Chronograph “Sharks” Edition. Cheers, Nilo ...
Forgot the car ...
Since my 50’s, I don’t care much about cars. For the last 18 years, the same Audi A4, that I trade for a new one when the warranty is about to expire. Same color (black), same engine (2.0 turbo). Call me boring. Variety I reserve for watches. Cheers, Nilo...
No soup for me ...
Mine must be a cream, that must be consumed cold. I’m happy that today (early Sunday morning here), I can start with some pasta. That’s, I hope, my last implant. Warning: Never ever go down on a marble stairs with your hands into the pockets. I’m on this ...
The cars, and a watch as well
this is an interesting topic, cars and watches. My first own car was a Fiat Uno. Small, fast and furious. Of course i had to add a decent sound system, with subwoofers and so on. It was worth half the cars price....i still wonder how i could spend so much...
Girard Perregaux and Alfa Romeo? . . .
. . . you must be Damjan's twin, separated at birth ;-) . . .
I just hope you'll do the right thing!!
Thing named QV As for the rest...Art said it already Your AR GP bro D
I have been considering the Giulia QV
I have not been driving it yet however. Have you? Stefan
I drove it a couple times and loved how it handled.
I ended up with a BMW because ultimately I wanted a convertible.
Thanks Toralf, yes the classic Spider is marvellous.
Who knows, one day we might go for a drive to the Valle de Joux, you with the TR 4 and and me with a classic Alfa. Best Stefan
Sorry for the late entry ...
Saturday night in Canada ... enjoy the rest of the weekend everybody ... ...
