It's hard to convince people you're 'successful in life' when you lack the ability to spell commonly used four letter words.

It's quite clear from his previous posts he is an illiterate, time wasting fantasist.

Evidently most aventador owners ask piston heads for an options list book! rofl

I am struggling to understand some of you. This is Pistonheads right? - a site for cars/speed. Take Ashley1111 for example. The kid is a car salesman and drives an old Clio, yet he has a luxury watch collection......WHY? What does he do with these watches? Does he wear them all at the same time or does he wear a different one every day? Why doesn't he sell them and get a proper car? or put a deposit down for a small terrace....?

Come on, you can do better than that. We all know you're trolling, but you need to keep it interesting otherwise you'll rapidly slip back into obscurity.

There's nothing worse than a boring troll.

No, the back is too cramped to be used as a 4 door, so it doesn't make much sense. I guess that why they never really took off. A spacious coupe is miles better.

Because I get a new company car every six months, so think my garage on my profile would get a bit tedious don't you think?

But I suppose I should just ditch the company car idea (no insurance costs, no road tax, no maintenance costs, no depreciation, new one built to my spec every 6 months) and go and buy a proper car that will make people on Pistonheads proud huh?

You conveniently glossed over the other item in there though in your "research"

Really ? Which hotel did you stay at ?

And yes, Rolexes are much cheaper here in Dubai, if you know where to go.

There is a huge difference between EARNING it and being given it, but only those of us who have earned it know it.

In my view a luxury watch is a status symbol worn by those who have been successful in life. A rolex tells time just like a seiko or a casio. The difference is prestige that's all. So by buying a rolex you are making a statement of your success, but too many are liers.
So you want a watch solely to show to other people that you have been successful in life, whatever that means ? You must be very insecure. Why not carry your bank statement to show people, assuming you actually are as wealthy as you claim?

And now we have reached name dropping territory...

As aside, I haven't been to Dubai, and I have no intention of going. It is living proof of the statment 'You can't polish a turd. But, you can roll it in glitter'.

Give me a nice British country pub over that hole any day.

If you've not been, how can you be so sure what it's like? From the UK press ?

I think the OP has a point. After all, we wouldn't want the poor people to be able to wear one of these...

I've been to Dubai and I don't even earn a fifth of your wages.

Imagine that.
