I've find a lot of people with a watch passion also have a liking for cars. So what do you drive?

anonymousmoose · 27 December 2011, 08:03 PM

Australia is one of the more expensive countries to buy cars in, not the most expensive but pretty pricey compared to say the US and GB. Especially driving a European car.

In 2011, I bought my first 'dream car'. Well the brand of my dream car, an S class would have been both car and brand combined :-) But I am extremely happy with my C Class sport.

kiudog · 27 December 2011, 09:02 PM

I like old school bimmers!!

And

Cheers!

jwalther · 27 December 2011, 09:15 PM

Hey AM! It will be interesting to compare the responses here to the ongoing thread in the Omega forum on WUS. My prediction, more MBs and fewer BMWs here.

Here's my current ride:

Nice E34 Kiudog!

Beauty! That shape S class is affordable here in Australia if you go for an early 2000s model. But leasing companies won't touch anything older than 5 years.

I was close to a 3 series. 320d actually. But the Benz was just that little more appealing to me personally. I did spend my younger childhood and some of my teens years around Stuttgart.

Good to see more people from Perth here... maybe we should PM and exchange watch interests. Got any good watchmakers in Perth? Don't need one now but one-day I will when my auto's come up for a service.

Nice SL! And I see you have an E in the garage

I'm test driving the new E and C coupe tomorrow because I need to drop off my C class for a service anyhow. Maybe in a couple of years time when lease renewal comes up I'll go for a coupe or convertible.

Trophy Wife drives this Lexus ES350.

I drive this Honda GL1800.

wantonebad · 28 December 2011, 01:04 AM

I'm on my 5th A4 lease. I've driven BMW, Mercedes, Acura, Infinity, Lexus but as far as entry level luxury/performance A4 is number one in my book, and has been for quite some time.

TattooedGQ · 28 December 2011, 01:07 AM

I have an all blacked out 07 Lincoln MKZ, a 71 Camaro, and a 04 Ducati Monster 1K.

I like the Boxter. So many people don't. People don't recognise the car for what it is, an entry level sports convertible. People argue its no 911... well it isn't and its not meant to be. For the price, it ain't a bad car. For those of us who don't care too much about 0-100 km/h and super-car handling, the Boxter has it all. I'd drive one but I prefer the SLKs if I was going convertible.

What is military sales? Do armed forces personnel receive discounts on cars?

Tri-Tip · 28 December 2011, 04:51 AM

I have a 2007 Corvette Coupe and a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Yes. You must be active duty and in a deployed area of the world. contact pentagon car sales. If you google it you will get the website. depending on the model you can save a bit of money. They only discount the base price and then the options are the same as retail. A 2012 M3 was reduced down to 52,000 base

Mac-Apple · 28 December 2011, 06:26 AM

2003 Lexus Gs 107k miles ,and love it more and more everyday. Haven't sank a dime in it other than oil changes ,and the water pump timing belt.
