I'm definitely a car guy
My daily driver is a BMW M5. it's absolutely the best car I've ever
had. In the background you can see my dog's car, a Honda Element.
It's a great car: super practical and basically bulletproof. Then for
fun I have this Ariel Atom 300. It is the fastest production car in
the world up to about 115mph. The only thing even close is the Bugatti
Veyron.
Show us your wheels ...
Steve's post below got me to thinking about what other cars forumers might drive. Here's my daily ride. What's yours? dean....

i'm not as die-hard when it comes to cars
as compared to Steve, but I'm not surprised at all to see other people here owing the same cars since appreciation of watches and cars seem to go in hand Cheers, Anthony

We all love to see...
We all love to see Anthony with his side ways cap and nice bruise after the accident. Anthony. One more time let's see the old bruise and burn mark… Just being a pest. And yes taking advantage of the fact I get an email alert on this post and I can respon...

Boy that looks painful. Glad...
Boy that looks painful. Glad to see it was nothing permanent.. Bill
Btw this picture was taken after I put on 5 coats of wax
Took me an entire week to do 5 coats of wax as I just left the car in the garage that week. Car was so shiny it looked like water and was so slippery that if flies tried to land on my car, they would slide right off! lol Cheers, Anthony This message has b...

The SL 65 is mine, the 930 Turbo is my buddy's...
just got rid of the SL but have no pics of my current drivers......
SL65 is a MONSTER!
Smokes the tires if you even gently touch the gas pedal. What did you replace it with?
love it. this was mine...
Would have rather had your black/red. Like the nose scrapes? ;( This message has been edited by SteveH on 2007-05-23 20:20:09...
I love the DB9!!
A navy blue one was driving next to me this weekend, and I kept drooling and staring at the car. If I ever do get one, that'll be the color I want to get! Cheers, Anthony...
Not so sure your average Joe could have guessed
I was going to do a series of teasers. You guys know me…. A couple more 4 fun Click to view image Click to view image Click to view image Click to view image...
The family that plays together....
[second attempt - first post apparently failed] We figure the family that plays together, stays together. So we bought two. Cheers, pplater....
Sweet pair. doesn't get any better.
Let's have some info on the the interior color combo please. Or maybe some shots. Thanks for sharing. Bill PS fixed the pic. They were the thumbed version with th_ prefix and sized 104 I removed the size and thumb prefix.
Thanks Bill...
...I'll get the hang of this photo posting thing yet. Car 1 - Oyster silver, mahogany trim, Iron Ore red leather with fine Dark Cherry stitching and Dark Cherry carpets. Car 2 - iridescent black, piano lacquer black console, black leather with coarse yell...
Btw, Bill and pplater, how is the maintenance of the Astons?
Everyone tells me that Aston Martins break down easily and u'll have to spend tons of money to fix them since they get problems all the time. Is this true? Have you guys had problems with yours? - Anthony
Old wives tale
That was the story you heard all the time about Jaguars. I have owned many since 1996 and never had any problems. As far as Astons are concerned you will find exactly the same thing. Never a problem whatsoever. Granted an oil change costs an arm and a leg...
I had a few minor problems with my DB9...
The NAV system didn't work right (and even when it does, it sucks), the CD changer died twice, the rear speakers blew without really even using them, and the crystal start button fell into the dash. I consider all to be fairly minor and all were fixed pro...
If you want to take...
If you want to take it that far. I had a blemish or a little indentation barely noticeable on my passenger door panel. The replaced the whole thing with new fresh red comely leather. It them a couple of months build the panel. It didn't bother me but it d...
yeah, none of them were especially big deals
BUT they were issues which forced me to bring the car in and leave it for multiple days while parts were sourced.
You gotta think quartz here. ...
You gotta think quartz here. We are talking about one hell of a mechanical machine (watch) here with some serious complications. But I get your point.
agreed
certainly nothing that would keep me from buying an Aston again. BUT, from the point of view of my time, a trip to the dealership is a trip to the dealership. Doesn't matter if it's a cd changer or a major electrical failure.
As requested..
A quick reminder of the exterior colour (car 1): The interior combo: Through the hatch: And the mandatory watch shot! Cheers, pplater....
What else?
If those were the 'daily rides' (see original post) then what on Earth are the 'toys' ???? pplater.
What wouldn't you want to play with your toys everyday if you could ...
My daily driver started with 18 miles on Sept 25, 2003, to celebrate 50th birthday, today it has... Getting ready to enjoy her now .... And of course, the watch shot ......
Sharp wheels! And I like the colour scheme as well ...
... it is not the typical one with the white stripes. Regards, Marcus
Looks like a lot of guys must ride the bus
Not that I have anything against public transportation. Slim showing - Let's take this up a notch. Boys with toys will be next...
Some really sweet rides out there. My daily is an '06' Supercharged
Range Rover, my toy is this;...
the RR supercharged is a nice ride
my friend has it and it drives really well, and I just love the funky orange one AT
i have black with ivory leather, black piping and ebony wood trim.
just got the driver/passenger windows tinted to match the back windows. i'll take a picture once I get it washed and we have a sunny day.
Is this permitted in your country?
Within the EU, it is not permitted to use tinted windows in the first row, which makes the cars look a bit weird, IMHO. Regards, Marcus
Must be the Jaguar XJ Super V8
I've never ridden in a Jaguar before as none of my friends or relatives own one. Cheers, Anthony
Another puppy...er...kitty >>
Drove it about 4 months......had it about 6 months.....we moved to Japan and had to say "goodbye" (sniff) MT Foo...
Very cool.
Hopefully not too much wax on the car. I would hate to see those watches sliding off like the video clip posted above by Marcus. Bill
One of mine
I did use it as a daily driver for a couple of years (I didn't have too far to travel to the office) - it was really quite fun....
