Yeezys and such.... I see we have some sneaker heads around these parts too...

Thought this combo worked well.

Just catching upto this thread a few days later, so much swag!

Evil Bendy: Awesome A7! I test drove one back in December when I was purchasing my car and it was a great drive.

FremStar: We are not worthy. Killing it, love your style dude!

Lanfor: If you're still looking for drivers, I'd suggest you also check out Tod's. I've had several pairs of LV and Ferragamo drivers but the most comfortable/best looking pair I've ever owned were the Tod's Gommini drivers with the front tie. I had these purple suede ones a couple years ago that were supreme. Speaking of which, I should probably pick up another pair soon!

I had a look at the Tods drivers the other day and they look really nice. I'm still having a think about it and will probably pick some up after my holiday

This is one of my favorite pieces of swag:



Not the most expensive machine out there, but makes a killer espresso on the right settings...

This machine paid for itself within around 3 months of less trips to Starbucks (that's including coffee bean costs!).

Great writing instruments gents!

Jack Sparrow, you are lucky to have those pinball machines! I wanted the Adams Family one for my mancave at home, however, got rejected by my Mrs., I had to settle for the Video game library I have at home... Will share later on tonight!

TY!

The Twilight Zone is considered the apex of Pat Lawlor's pinball machine designs (and of pinball in general by many collectors). After the success of The Addams Family machine, also designed by Lawlor, Midway gave him carte blanche to design the ultimate pinball machine. The Twilight Zone was that machine.

The Star Trek Next Generation is also a highly ranked machine, especially notable for the shooting canons, though it is not a Lawlor design...

I find the parallels between horological design and pinball machine design to be thrilling. Pinball machines have features that are parallel to complications in watches. They both represent excellence in mechanical design IMO.

WOW! What's crazy about your response is that is the same thing I told my wife about the Adams Family game when I tried to state my case and make the reference to horology! This site never ceases to amaze me on how likeminded a lot of us are over here! Mr. Lawlor is pretty much the pioneer of a simple yet complex game to play! I vow one day to acquire that machine! Here are pics (not mine) for those that are thinking what is he talking about! What an AMAZING game!

The twilight zone used to be my favourite pinballmachine though i did not know anything about pinball history. Funny story thanks for sharing!
