Re: Cars which have aged well - first BMW Z4

SAT Leon MK2 still looks quite fresh for being 18 years old. https://www.km77.com/media/fotos/seat_leon_2005_1865_1.jpg Was going to suggest an Avantime at 22 years old but the headlights age it. Looks good from other angles though. https://tcct.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/renault_avantime_86-sc...

Re: Are there any turbine-style wheels that look better

Yeah the 993 Turbo has similar looking wheels, they have more of a twist in the spokes though. https://www.stratstone.com/-/media/stratstone/spotlight/porsche-933-turbo/porsche-911-993-turbo-1920x774px.ashx There's a 993 in the spec very similar to below (but with darker colour wheels) that seems t...

Re: 2022 review / 2023 plans

I normally end up writing a book in this thread so going to keep it short this year. 2020 was mostly uneventful thankfully. Had holiday plans cancelled and struggled a bit working from home in a small shared london flat, but thankfully still have a job so can't complain. My main goal for this year ...

Re: The Watches Thread

Bought a cheap Nato strap from Archer Straps via Amazon for about £13. After a week it's already started to fray. Any recommendations for something better? (I remember Bark & Jack being previously recommended but their website is closed due to postal strikes) Very happy with my Bark and Jack on...

Re: The Watches Thread

Interested to hear what they're like to live with. Are you keeping the velcro strap on or replacing it with something else? Moonswatches with leather straps have been popping up alot on my Instagram feed recently, I don't think that works for me but they look good with NATO or other fabric straps.

Re: The Watches Thread

I used to be into the Alpinist but have kind of gone off it in recent years - feels bad saying that though as it's a watch I still want to love. Looks very ungainly to me in photos, but I suspect it would look better in reality (haven't seen one in person yet). I think I prefer the non-compass versi...

Re: Trump

I think Trump is getting desperate. He's been pushing a big announcement lately. Speculation in the right has been that he's going to run for US speaker of the house, or become a democrat, or come back to twitter. Nah. It's NFTs. He's pushing NFTs. I'm not even joking. https://twitter.com/EverydayW...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

A bit random, but I don't think I've seen (or indeed was aware of) the new-ish electric Fiat 500 before, saw one in town today and it really stood out to me. Nice bit of design. Funny enough there's one just cropped out of the first Speedster photo, and lots of them around Notting Hill today - they...

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

In parts of London I don't usually go to today. Saw this Porsche Speedster kit, seems to be one of these. I don't think the windscreen works, but I don't hate the rest of it.
