Hi Roger,

Tough to tell from the photo, but are you demonstrating a certain French technique?

Watches & Rides

I guess our personalities really come out when we compare our rides to our watches. I have a Submariner and a Chevy Tahoe. My wife has a WG datejust w/ diamonds and has a flashy BMW 530i. Typical.

Cheers They Were 20k new and only 4501 of them, so the very low milage ones that have never seen rain, snow, grass clippings etc are selling for tidy sums. I use mine every day and enjoy it.

Love the skyline, we can't get them here. That thing could give my 911 a whooping.

I wish we got the new styled Focus that europe and the rest of the world got. The only variants of that Ford platform can only be found in our Mazda and Volvos here in Canada. Although the Mazdaspeed 3 is nice I would have preferred it if Ford would have given us a Focus RS.


It seems Canada always gets shafted with the good cars that are found overseas.

Cant post a picture but have a retired Ford Crown Victoria police Interceptor and a Ford Explorer.

I drive the Interceptor and the wife the Explorer.

Had it repainted and got new wheels a few other upgrades, to make it look like a more sporty car.

Wouldn't give it up till it drops. Drives better than much more expensive cars I've had.

No, but I checked it out and it doesn't look like a proper site. Just a bunch of pop ups and ads.

It's a shame you never got the RS! Someone with your enthusiasm for Ford would have suited one. And it would have looked nice in that local Ford club line-up.

If you know the kind of ridiculous prices we pay for automobiles over here you wouldn't feel so bad living in Canada.

Owned a Vespa GS 150 sport in 1962. Had a Honda Super Hawk 305 and a Triumph Bonneville. Currently have a 2003 Jag S Type R which has depreciated like a rock. I wish I could find a car that appreciates like a Rolex SS Daytona.
