The Monticello Motor Club
 

(Possible NYC F1 venue) :rock:

Welcome to a Club where Premier Service comes standard. Phone ahead in anticipation of your arrival and if your automobile is stored with us, it will be prepped and waiting along with your helmet and driving suit. By the time you are ready to go, your car will have been fueled, tire pressures and vital fluids checked and motor warmed. What could be better?

The Monticello Motor Club is beautiful, convenient, luxurious and an enchanting place to satisfy your motoring desires. But without great people, a place is just a place, no matter how well done it is. From the concierge to the chef to the auto maintenance staff, our five-star service is here for you from arrival to departure.

In addition to the Clubhouse offerings, Monticello Motor Club members have access to climate controlled auto storage, full-service auto care and maintenance, pro-shop, and private locker rooms.

Conveniently located 90 minutes by car or 24 minutes by helicopter to our private helipad, our race resort is the closest motorsports venue to New York City. Additionally, Sullivan County Airport is 10 minutes from the club and accommodates private jets.

Two levels of membership are available: Resident and National. We invite you to explore both options and to contact us to arrange a private tour.
We look forward to seeing you on the track!

Boat shoes? I still have 30 years before I'm wearing those things....haha! :bowrofl:


@ 370zSteve: I'm already a member!:eekdance:

New site from Playboy, safe for work:

Sexy Articles, Sex News, Hot Videos, Celebrity Gossip, Lifestyles, Funny Videos, and Dating Advice

(and they have Tony on the front page of the inaugural release) :roflpuke2:

Those look nice but my classic low top vans havent failed me in 13 years :happydance:

I went to this website and upon browsing i blurted out loud... N.O. F.U.C.K.I.N.G W.A.Y. When I saw my friend is a playboy model!!! Tess Taylor Arlington [Pics] - Hot Girl from "Pretty Wild" - Tess Taylor Arlington | The Smoking Jacket

These are too cool, enjoy the pics:

The World's Most Spectacular Pools on Shine

All beautiful man! Except for number 9 which creeps me out.

the last one is uber cool :tup:

I'm oddly drawn to #4. So ... tranquil.

Yes, I also like the landscaping around number 5, and how the open seating area runs right up to the pool.

I just placed an order for my Seiko Flightmaster. It's the watch on the right in this picture. I'm going to put it on a black leather Di-Modell strap similar to the one the Navitimer is sitting on in the pic.

I have always wanted one of those but never got around to ordering one.

Very high quality timepiece at a very reasobable price............. says "quality AND thrifty" in this economy :tup:

I have always liked Seikos because you can buy a bunch of them at once without breaking the bank, and most of them are high quality pieces.

I'm pretty sure my buddy bought the flightmaster at the same time I bought my titanium seiko. We both still have them circa 10 years later.

Drinking a Manhattan, currently. Maker's Mark and Sweet Vermouth, accompanied by 2 ice cubes doomed to slosh around and eventually melt away in my whiskey glass.

Just reading 'Makers Mark' actually turns my stomach. I prefer my Manhattans with Canadian Club and straight up.

Hey, where's the cherry ............ no love for the cherries? :p

This was my first bottle of it, and my first taste was straight up. From all the raving reviews I've read, it didn't impress me. Not that I won't enjoy emptying the bottle, however.

@antennahead: no cherry for me, thanks. Keep the umbrella too! Haha!

I take 2 cherries in mine actually. I remember being little and my grandfather always giving me one out of his glass when we would go out to eat.

:iagree: The cherries make it in my opinion, that little bit of flavor they add to the mix :tup:

Since I just caught up on this thread :D, thought I'd mention my worst hobby...

Here is the main flashlight I carry every day:
Spy005

And here is the one on my keychain with my Z fob:
Chrome Draco

And I have a bunch of more standard lights (like SureFire and EDC and Fenix) that I have lying around :D

LOL, ok , anyone who is actually a member of a forum (CandlePowerForums) for flashlights has really got the hobby bad :tup:

I know the pictures suck, but I got my Hirsch Traveller leather strap in the mail today that I put on my Tissot PRC100...

Here's the current rotation.

I have two more affordables being delivered this week, then I am going to chill out for a while. My next watch purchase should be a Planet Ocean Seamaster (black bezel and dial) around Christmas time... hopefully with my bonus!

^^baller

dang...joo is a watch whore....lol

More like a time whore.

:)

damn... that was random....lol


I love the watches that run on kinetic energy... so awesome i wanna buy one but no monies...

Mechanical watches are my favorite... they are the most interesting.

Though my Tissot and Flightmaster are both quartz... I prefer the mechanicals!

if and when i get one, it will be Mechanical without a doubt.

Well what is your budget and what style watch do you like? Depending on what you like they can be very affordable.

One that is being delivered to me on Thursday only cost me $95 shipped on sale so I figured I'd order it and give it a try. :tup:

I like these kinds: Spring Drive | SEIKO WATCH CORPORATION

Spring Drives are expensive as hell for Seikos.

It's funny that Seiko is not a status watch yet it makes many high end pieces (Spring Drive, Grand Seiko, etc). They have some fantastic movements though that real watch enthusiasts really appreciate.

Myself... I like to stick to the sub $1000 Seikos. If I'm going to spend $1000+ on a watch it's going to be something like an Omega or a Sinn or something like that. That's just me, though.

The thing about the Spring drive is that because it uses the mechanical movement to maintain a battery charge it's not a true mechanical watch in the sense of only mechanical power. Still very cool, though, if you can afford to spend thousands on one. :)

If you can settle for a regular Seiko automatic you have a lot of options. My favorite watch right now is my little Seiko diver... cost me a little less than $200 back in 2007 and it's my "go to." It's not like it's a COSC rated piece but it keeps +/- 4 seconds per day with probably some improvement in it. Need to regulate it some more.

pics of your Seiko diver?


I like the spring drive only because one of my friends had one and I really like it... maybe I should look at other options...lol

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_qiUkqaHCPFw/TG.../s800/skx2.jpg

This one is not my picture... just a good one I found online:
http://lh4.ggpht.com/_qiUkqaHCPFw/TG...f08b361a45.jpg

It's a Seiko SKX031k2 automatic. I think I bought it from Overstock for $165 back then. Unfortunately it comes on a cheap, folded bracelet, so for about $40 I replaced it with a Seiko Super Oyster bracelet with solid links... a really nice bracelet. :tup:

I have a Seiko SKX033k2 being delivered to me on Friday. It's the "Pepsi" version of the 031k2. It has a blue dial and blue/red bezel. Once I get it I'll have to source another Super Oyster bracelet because I will not wear the watch with the cheapo bracelet it comes with. :)

This is not my image, but this is the watch:

The thing I really like about these divers is they look great on NATO straps. This is not my picture but I wear my 031 on a NATO "bond" strap every now and then like this one:

So the Seiko watch is on the right, which one is the in the middle there?
