Timerider (Tim) inspired this weeks theme. Watches and cars are a " name="" target="">favourite combination on PuristS. So share with everyone the watch that best compliments your car. It might be a matching watch (a JLC Amvox?), a racing theme (a Heuer ...
. . . true. You can see the car, but not the Karrée? Better? "Ready for my close-up, CB!" There's something oddly congruous about a Karrée perpetual calendar sitting atop a Holley 4500 carb. Original '50 Merc . . . . . . mid-way thru the renovation proces...
BTW: what's the amount of PS this special vehicle is developing ? Must be a bonus, that a family member leads/ does the restauration , ehh ? - Also love the color of the car - Splendid ! Thx for this cool share ! Best, hs PS: - on your first pic , I could...
. . . and I'll check with Warren later to confirm. And yes, having him in the family will come in handy some day - I'd love to have a '60s Dodge or Plymouth again.
.. the ratio between total weight and hp will play a role and he another index, I heard.. Thank you for the prompt & kind answer ! Best, also for this upcoming WE ! hs
. . . rated at 300 hp, with a mild cam, aluminum intake, and Holley 4500 carb. It hasn't been tested on a dynamometer, but Warren's guess is roughly 10% more horsepower than stock, putting it at around 330 hp.
I seem to really like Audemars Piguet and performance cars... Ok for something a little different how about... Elemental yet iconic. Basic designs yet instantly recognizable. Sublime ...
These are the first photos I've taken with my new DSLR Pentax. Now that I see how much more flexibility this camera has compared to my old one, I'll probably end up joining in on more WristScan Fridays! Emil
Photography was first a hobby, then my minor in collage, then a big part of my advertising career where I directed thousands of shoots, but I've been away from it for over a decade now. So it's about time for me to get back into it. As for the strap on th...
...on this computer, so nothing new to show...just these photos that I've posted before: [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] I've promised to post about the car on the Automotive forum but just haven't had the time. But I'll get to it ...
. the ABPro ( is that the name still ?) asks for attention, with that play of the second hand.. Reminds me to take mine out, after a while, as it doesn't really get enough wrist time, ;) Again, the UN, blur/red rhapsody is cool AND versatile, I expect.. M...
I just realize i haven't taken a descent WS with cars in ages ... and since i've been riding Ducati's all week my theme will be 'Watches + Bikes' :-) Ducati Monster 1100S + LLD .... Errrrr ... don't tell my wife, but a real biker should have at least one ...

This photo is fairly old and does not show how our friend turned into an handsome fitted young boy, we definitely have to plan another tour ;-) Thanks Damjan for your kind words
All cars quite dirty (all driven hard ;-))...Tried to match the watches a bit to the cars. Watch is easy, but what car? (answer at the end) Mini Cooper S, real fun car! And a BMW 3 series And the car New car needed for next year as replacement for the Min...
.. some sort of a patchwork entry may be allowed ; as one of our common focus-points are Vintages, and many also like old ads & catalogs, - here one well known ad from Jaeger vs a contemporary vehicle of that time period Thus, very close dates for the ad,...
. . . on the Jaeger clock, h; any idea why? (By curious coincidence, there was a Russian driver in today's Indy 500 - a first, to the best of my knowledge.)
.. I have no real clue; - One possible attempt to explain, could be, that one of the owners might have been Russian.. (?) It could well be, that car- manufactures such as Bentley, made additionally tailored dashboards or inscriptions. That's all I can off...
.. and over the GTGs & times of meetings, I meanwhile know your second bureau @ G Lussac well enough !.. Have a superb WE, dear friend , to you and Yours ! Best, hs PS: - that catch of the WWW, has been great luck and happy pleasure - she's on my wrist, n...

driven 15K km with it now and appreciating the vehicle more & more. Worse: I am starting to dislike ICE driven cars. And I used to be a real patrol head.
...watch and photos. Old photos, but my favorites from the DBS days: I need to do a similar series now with the Black Concept. :-) HAGWE all! respo ...

Thanks for your very nice words hs! It wasn't really on purpose but the colors are as if they had been digitaly processed. I thought too that it showed a nice color combination. Have a great week too ;) Cheers, Mark
. . . yours, mine (picture, that is - the '50 Merc belongs to Warren's customer), and Andrew's Mustang. Surely there's gotta be more American iron out there!
... as many of my same age friends were in those far days. I keep remembering him so well now! As you may understand Andrew, living in Argentina it was easy to catch the contagious fanatism of our car race lovers for our Numero Uno Hero! But Fangio was no...
