Long story short, guys.

A friend of mine has given me his new LV Sub (Z-series) to try and sell off on his behalf.

The watch is in pristine condition and he's asking a real good price on a watch of this calibre.

My sister, Nina, is here spending her holidays with us. She looks at the LV and LoVes it!!!

Then she turns around and tells me....well, JJ, I've paid half for both your daughter's new cars....so the least I can do for you is buy you this watch. I can see how much you like it.

I didn't know what to say. I'll have to talk to my friend today, make him an offer and, if he agrees, splatter TRF with my new acquisition.

JJ, first off, can your sister buy me a watch. If you do indeed get it, your comfort level will rise to three, and you will need to update your thread. Last, you are going to Love the LV.

Tools · 11 November 2007, 04:23 AM

Damn JJ...........

I'll be lucky if I get a T-shirt from my sister on Christmas......

f16570 · 11 November 2007, 04:25 AM

My sister, Nina, is a wonderful person. She's been single all her life and is my only sibling.

She looks on my 2 daughters as her very own and does the world for them. Here's a pic of her with me.....and the blue Dihatsu Sirion she bought my daughter, Yasmin, last year.

My sister is a tight a** too. I'm lucky to get a card...

What is it with females and J.J

It must be the bald head

Bet you won't flip it, coz it would have some sentimental value i should think.

Yes, she couldn't get one with the "S" (it had already been taken by someone else), so she had to settle for the "5" which does look like an "S".

You know here in the U.K - that plate would be worth 3 times the value of the car !!

Wolfgang427 · 11 November 2007, 04:33 AM

What a great gift.

I wish I had a sister.

So what the hell would this one be worth, pal?

kcmo · 11 November 2007, 04:36 AM

WOW JJ! What a wonderful gesture from your sister! She must really LOVE you! Congrats and post photos of your #3 ASAP! YAY!!!!

arttay10 · 11 November 2007, 04:37 AM

Enough to further your Rolex collection anyway !! Plates are big money spinners here in the U.K - I enquired about Y4TES (my name) with DVLA - They wanted offers over £48,000 UK Sterling...

I'm not surprised. When I wanted a plate for my Mazda, I asked for just - JJ - and they wanted NZ$42,000 for it!!

I told that bugger that I've just got a Jap import - not a bloody Ferrari!!

Congrats in advance JJ

Your sister seems like a wonderful lady and you are blessed to have a great family and nice Rolexes too!!

ohsixx · 11 November 2007, 04:50 AM

What a wonderful family you have JJ, I hope you enjoy you new watch as you do the others

YA5MIN and GR8 JJ are great plates, as Stuart says, they'd cost a forune here

I'm fortunate to have a private plate which was brought a few years ago. Like stuart I wanted my surname - £15,000

: mu first name? I enquired, thats already sold - now up for sale for £14,500. So I settled for four numbers and my initials. the plate's on its third car now so has served me well

All the best JJ

If you dont mind me asking, what time is it in NZ?

GR8YT · 11 November 2007, 05:09 AM

Seems your family is as GR8 as your license plate! And, Stuart, it's not the bald head that women likes about JJ, because I'm as bald as JJ AND single... :)

Jocke · 11 November 2007, 05:13 AM

God bless your sister but I´m not sure if that car are a gift or a punishment.

You already have 2 Rolex, it´s better she fix your leaking house.
