What crap have you all been buying then?

Mine, after a late night ebay session.

A 70-200 L series Canon travel mug.

Does anyone else impulse buy cars?

It's not a cheap hobby...

Worst two were an £8000 M3 and a £6000 S8...

A family member bought a £6000 Ferrari Mondial my mistake on Ebay once, does that count as impulse?

Very nice.

That lens/mug thing is also brilliant.

Always. Planning car purchases is sooooo boring.

A few years ago I went to the car auctions to buy a Fiesta and came home with a Volvo 440 Turbo.

Mercifully I was able to sell it three weeks later for only a £30 loss.

And I once bought a scruffy Lotus Esprit for £3300, but I think that your £6000 Ferrari Mondial will take some beating.

At the revival festival, a mate of mine buys the steve mcqueen gulf racing jacket.
I couldn't contain myself but managed enough control till the purchase went through, then lost it!!!
My sides split....where the hell is he gonna wear it, down the pub ???
"oh look, steve's just walked in again"......
or at a track...."hello, he must be quick"
Needless to say iv'e changed his name to steve on my phone....love it when he calls !!
I don't think its ever seen the light of day.....perhaps he puts it on and looks in the mirror every now and then.

Bought a Mountain Board while I was drunk last week for £20, should be good fun with my kite!

[Cock Womble 7]

Thunderbirds clock. Drunken, impulsive Ebay purchase.



Cost £1.99 and now takes pride of place in the bathroom.

Today's post brought me my new Dakine Heli-Pro DLX ski/snowboard rucksack, which i definitely need in August. In my defense it was half the price from anywhere else.
