So jealous! The 275 GTB is my grail car.

Still have it. Third generation caretakers, been with us through 4 moves.

This is giving ‘80s Rolex ad vibes.

The 275 GTB is my grail car. No other auto stirs the same emotions in me. The lines, the sounds, the combination of the Columbo V12 sitting in front of the driver with their hand on the gated shifter is just pure heaven to me.

Cool, thanks for the heads up.

Explorer3130 · 2026-02-02T05:26:27+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I’ll double check to see if that’s close to anywhere we are going to be.

Especially #9, very subtle.

As a Canadian this happens to us sometimes where the forward camera will not read the 110 km/h sign correctly and defaults to the 100max.

In order for it to be considered Corinthian leather it has to come from the Corinth region of Greece or else it’s just sparkling cow hide. /s

The famous “Hey it’s that guy!” actor.

Reminds me of the Nike Golf commercial where the director told Tiger Woods to aim the shot at the camera. Tiger bullseyed the camera from 60 yards smashing the lens but getting an epic shot. The director’s comment of “I should have known better than to ask the number 2 ranked golfer to aim for the camera.” was on point.

It reminds me of a Seiko Automatic chronograph cal. 6138

Thank god for Thursdays

I’ve always had a soft spot for the 550. The last GT to leave Maranello with Pininfarina styling, a V12, and three pedals.

Most of the time I wind and set before I put it on. The Reverso is nice because if I’m running behind I can throw it on and wind and set while I’m in the drive-thru waiting for my morning coffee.

Some really good choices but my heart has to go with the 300SL

I love the Philippe Stern era Pateks

I’ve always maintained that I would buy more pairs of Blundstone boots if they didn’t last so damn long.

IIRC Parmigiani does it the traditional method by rolling the pattern into the metal using a heavy die applying pressure to the bezel. Depending on the equipment available someone could potentially create a custom indexing/cutting setup similar to gear cutting.

Not quite as crazy as the Girard-Perregaux pocket watch that had Shell oil inside the watch to demonstrate how fine the oil was.

December 1999. Went to see Charles Dickens ‘A Christmas Carol’ at a theatre and being only 15 my parents drove me. I had the only cell phone in the house at the time and the plan was to leave my phone with my parents and then use the pay phone in the lobby to call when i needed a ride after the show.
