That's awesome, I didn't know I wanted one until now!
Where did you procure that from if I may ask?
Its stunningly detailed, internal wires, screws, rivets, carbon like missile top, lights, antenna, stamped numberd inside, itd like a big ray gun!!Where did you procure that from if I may ask?
Its very tactile the brass against the alloy is ace.....is the best most pointless thing I ever bought :-).
Got it at Ardingly antiques day.

Another one is:
boat (n) - a big hole in the water into which you pour money.
Bad times.

Cheers the boat is a bayliner 160 ( binliner as some call them 
)
It only has a little 50hp 2 stroke on the back, however a mate in the industry has a 2010 90hp optimax coming in and has made me a mates rates deal I can not refuse
That will go like a cracker with a 90 on the back, great fun. )It only has a little 50hp 2 stroke on the back, however a mate in the industry has a 2010 90hp optimax coming in and has made me a mates rates deal I can not refuse
For any ex boat owners out there that are missing that feeling, try standing in a cold shower for half an hour tearing up £50 notes.
That should take you back.
How many BMW models do I have already? Probably 60?
Do I need another one? No.
Did I want this one? Yes.
Was it frivolous? Totally.
(One of my favourite racing liveries ever!)
I suspect that I've actually spent more money on model cars in the last couple of years than it cost me to buy my E36 328!

A quick question for those of you who bought an OrbitKey. Has anybody been able to make them work with mortice lock keys? I suspect that with some spacers they could be made to work but the length may be a problem. Unfortunately 3 out of my 5 keys that I regularly use are mortice keys so this is a deal breaker for me.
By the way, does anybody else regularly check this thread just in case there is something else that you didn't know that you needed to buy. I curse the day I first clicked on it.

Oh yes. Although I've only actually bought one thing: the microscope for £2! I did want a Quadzilla, but having gone searching the one I ending up going to see had been abused and didn't even start.5potTurbo said:

I love a small wallet, currently use a metal business card case for cards and folding money.

I would get one, but I have my Porsche design one that's lasted 5 years so far and not a mrk on it bar a mil patina, and I have a ben Sherman one I got as a gift still in its box, so buying the tiny wallet is the epitome of frivolous, and as the DC5 needs more money thrown at it than Charlemagne I cant justify anything just now.
