Pretty much add the fun things to my wishlist and then get them on my payday.

My really frivolous purchase this month has been a Honda S2000. But i have bought one of these to wear whilst driving it.

Link to the balaclava? Fancy one for work

It is really more a snood, it only as a skull up to the bit shown there, then it's plain black.

Unfortunately because of this thread my wishlist is massive!

Congrats on the S2000 though, can't agree that it's frivolous though as this month so far has been roof-down every day in mine, so you can easily claim with man maths its more cost effective than getting a tan using other means...

Somewhat frivolous as I have a perfectly good LCD, although it's rather chunky by modern standards and this seemed like a good deal...

Bought from B&Q of all places!

Yup. I have one too. Great, isn't it!

Very much in the style of Steve Thomas but I asked him via email if it was one of his but he says it isn't, although acknowledges it's the kind of thing he would do.

Keep your eyes peeled. These keep coming down to a tenner

Good stuff, enjoy the process. It's a bit nerve racking the first time, but the reward when you turn it on and everything works is great.

The seats in the camper, when folded into a bed are not as comfy as I'd like, so I bought somewhere comfy to sleep...

A fivers worth of scratch cards & won three quid. Bought 3 more & won a tenner. Just bought another 5 & fish n chips in Sainsburys cafe. (£5)
I now bet I win nothing, which means I could've just gone straight for the fish n chips in the first place!

It must get hot in there? And not in a fun way ...

That's why I'm getting them to pop an extra window on the opposite side to the existing one.

The 99p store near me has Branigan multipacks in, 99p (suprisingly) for 5 bags.

Well Thursday saw me making another frivolous purchase, hitched a lift from a mate up to Wallasey and ended up driving home with this.....

Not that I have the space for it, with allready having a 206 GTi 138, 206 2L Hdi, 206 GTi 180 & a 306 GTi-6
Bought simply because i've always liked the look of them since I wasn't even old enough to look over the steering wheel.

Does this count?

I remember you worrying about getting the GTI 180 whilst you still had the GTI on the nightshift thread bloody years ago. The fact that you now have 5 pugs is bloody brilliant.

Also love the look of those old 406 Coupes, still look lovely now.

Just to follow on from this, this may have arrived today....

So, you like pugs then?

I approve way more than the bloody 206 addiction, the start of Pug making st cars was the 206 and you keep buying them.
I like this new direction with buying the actual good cars they made.

Next stops are a 106 rallye, 406 mi-16, 306GTI-6 and a 309 Goodwood.

I'm laying some floorboards at the weekend and needed a new blade for my circular saw - but then I saw this



When it arrived I decided that one of these would also be useful as they use the same batteries



I'll probably do most of the cutting with a borrowed chop saw though...
