Tell me about it. To say I sold too soon is a gigantic understatement.

The guy I sold it to was able to fix the the issues I was having, did a light refresh and it's now the prize of his collection. And that's saying a lot because he has one hell of a collection. He offered to sell it back to me for over twice what he paid ... he was partially joking, but still.

Howdy,

LOL, same here! I was in the 7th grade when it came out and it, along with Duran Duran, defined my style back in the day!

Take care,

Wow, talk about an awesome time warp. I remember watching that episode when it originally aired. Absolutely gripping. That ending.........

Even today, this show has more style than almost any other series ever produced. The word iconic is overused, but I'd say Miami Vice was an iconic series style-wise.

People say Don's Rolex in Miami Vice was a fake. That is weird but that's what many sources say. Well the Ferrari Daytona was a fake too.

Some say, Crockett wasn't really a policeman, either.

An old friend of mine had some of his music used in an episode, he got invited to appear in an episode too.


Brilliant series. The movie with Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell is pretty good too.
I heard there was another film beng made?
Michael Mann's, HEAT is one of my favourite films. (Featuring Denzil Washington's Casio Pro-Trek)

Miami Vice inspired watch photo.

Actually I shot this a while back but cleaned it up a little.



Inspired by Miami Vice watching marathon that I started a week ago (Started from Season 5 downwards and soon the Season 4 has been watched). :)
