A novel way to deal with Jehovas Witnesses. I can't quite work out why else it was done.

It's an appreciation of a craftsman's skill, the fascination for the history and development of ingenuity and brilliance on a minute scale. Mechanical watches have a soul as well as physical beauty. Some indeed buy an expensive watch just because its expensive...even debasing the original beauty of form and function by adding diamonds etc to add to the monetary value and bling effect. Some, like me, buy mechanical watches that unfortunately happen to be expensive, because they wish to own an example of the watchmakers art they appreciate. There is a difference.

:)Let us know how you get on, hope its good news.

BTW, I'm not a wanker. I'd rather spend £xk on a piece of mechanical art that gives me immense pleasure to own daily, will last a lifetime, can be passed on to my son, will be worth a considerable amount years down the road etc, than blow it on two weeks worth of sandy bollocks that I immediately forget once I return to work.

The Daytona is a very sought after watch. Its common for second hand Daytonas to sell for more than original retail. Daytonas sell for between £4k and £55k depending on model / metal / condition. Rolex are the most copied watch brand out there, some fakes being incredibly hard to spot unless you know a lot about them. I'm not saying yours is fake, but its impossible to tell from one photo....I've not seen a Daytona with roman numerals in the flesh, so I'm not going to comment on that side of things further. If its genuine, you have ALL the paperwork and box, and the paperwork serial number ties up with the serial number on the watch and the serial number checks out with Rolex, then its a valuable watch, running at several £k. I'd join up on a Rolex forum, and ask their advice. But if it hasn't the original certificate and paperwork, you will have to go by the serial number alone...be prepared for some blunt questions.

A front strut brace won't cure the Aerotop scuttle shake with the roof off. The sprung loaded little spoilers are normal...they are supposed to pop-up when the roofs off. The noise is a little annoying I agree.

You are what my father would have called a gowk. Not the most sensitive of souls, are you.

Silver, Veilside front, Corfe Mullen about 4.45pm. I flashed, you waved, bish bash bosh, jobs a good 'un.

Silver Supra with roof spoiler, heading toward Gravel Hill about 1.30pm.

:)Happy Birthday DB.

RIP Wendy.

I've had a weak end because of nooky, if thats any help.

50 years after the Notting Hill Riots, the scriptwriters of a soap set in London, featuring several characters who happen to be black, pen an episode using the riots as a spine for the story line. Fair do's.

Fair do's. I have a different take on it, the mirrors sticking out keep cars and pedestrians further away from the bodywork...I'd rather a mirror gets whacked than the bodywork. :dI cant get my Supra in my garage full stop, unless I climb out through the boot.

Its been ratified.

pass me some crampons

for £220 an hour ?

£220 an hour... £11 labour, the rest is admin.

I've got five inches here too.

My god....only now do we realise the full tragedy of Eric Morcambes passing.

Five bulls in a ring, and each week throw in Parlimentary members from the various parties. I'd watch that on a Saturday night.

I've seen a couple, on the road and posted on here. Mind you, the Supra manual explicitly states 'do not attach a tow hook to your Supra....the Supra is not suitable for towing things' or words to that effect. I considered a removable one once to fit a bike rack too. But a slap with a wet fish soon put it out of my mind...along with a quoted £960 price tag.

Take it or leave it, one of the reasons I love the Supra shape is how similar it is to certain Astons. I hate the Vanquish (the rear arches remind me of an American pick-up truck from the seventies), but the DB7, DB9 and especially the V8 just have that magic proportioning that I love in the Supra. The new XK is almost there, but if I bought one of them I'd always wish I'd gone for the Aston.

It's going to be hard to beat, but heres my entry. It's pure wool, but its also pure bad. I've also gained additional points for a particularly bad hair style. Try your best guys, but this classic from 22 years ago is out on its own.
