Does your car compliment your Rolex? Hmmmm???

Show us your car and your Rolex or other fine timepiece. Let's see how one compliments the other.

I would expect to see lots of Daytona's and Ferrari's!

I don't have a car anymore... Don't really need one living in Downtown Vancouver, it'd be like having a car in Manhattan.

Hi

You will love the new 997 Turbo!! Its awesome to drive and has incredible power.

Advice:

Dont order one,, get one off the lot... The wait will drive you insane!!

I waited for 4 months and lost TOO much sleep.

Good luck.

With the Turbo comes the watches,, so be prepared.. lol

I drive a silver 2003 Honda Accord and yes, my Explorer complements it perfectly.

This is the best shot I have of it right now.

I drove it to the top of Sandia Crest the other day just as fast as I could. It was a blast.

The 2.4l iVTEC engine is a little miracle in my judgement.

The day I drove it to work in that snowstorm, I was passing stranded SUVs left and right.

The trunk's ajar, because that's where the camera was.

I am in Colombia, South America, Turbo's arent common here, my Mitsubishi Evo X is unique in the country as of now, so a turbo of the lot is a dream, and a turbo here is 200 thousand dollars, so for that amount of money, you'd want you'r turbo personalized, and watches, well a rose daytona is on the wish list for december, lets see how everything at the company goes till december.

Actually the Space Coast Porsche Club arranged a field trip to the Warbird Museum in Daytona Beach and they let us take our P cars on the tarmac for photos.

I was the first one on the tarmac and took a few pictures. Eventually there were 20+ of us for group car shots.

If you havent visited this museum its quite interesting history with huge hangers of restored jet planes,

Don

I understand that in German where the Porsche's are made they are around $200,000 us.


I guess the USA has the best prices overall for lots of consumer items including watches and cars.

Its too bad you have to pay so much for cars.

The EVO is a great car and with some tweaking can be a real threat on the track to a Porsche...

I'm very jealous and humbled. I only drive a 2007 Honda Civic. I tend to get too worried about having a really nice car in that something might happen to it. I do feel my watches are in line and have great pride wearing any of them driving around.

When I'm in a hurry, I jump on my 2001 Harley FXSTS (Softail Springer). When I'm in a big hurry, I take the Mustang.

I'd like to think so. She's an older model Bimmer but still rides nice.





Nice photos by all. Thanks for sharing.
