Stuff you want and could afford but will probably never have
Discussion
k yes, should have mentioned that for myself. Big one. Then I could listen to Jumpin' Jack Flash etc while I play my pinball machine right next to it.Council Baby said:

A ten pin bowling alley in the flat.
I measured and the flat just isn't big enough.

It would be nice to see some reasons being given, there's got to be some if people want stuff and can afford it, but yet don't buy it, surely?
Here's another one from me-
Euro Truck simulator with a steering wheel and maybe even pedals etc. Reasons, either I wouldn't play it after the first couple of goes, or else I would be on it all the time, and it's the latter that scares me, a bit.
I'd suggest that most people, myself included can't afford what they're posting. If they could, they'd buy it. I know I would. Bills to pay and all that come first. Here's another one from me-

I would have to sell the Elise to afford it. Additional monthly cost for storage. Would I really get that much use out of it? Too big for a normal parking bay so parking at a supermarket to top up supplies would be a problem. A lot of money to be tied up in one thing, but they hold their value well.
Perhaps a small lottery win then I can take the Elise on a trailer behind. Bit like this

My camper's currently up for sale for a lot of these reasons. Lovely things to own & not as difficult to park / store as you might think, but only really suitable for 2 people & only really useable for 6mths of the year. To make matters worse I work a lot of weekends, so I have even less scope for trips away during the good months. For resale, I would go with a VW every time, and keep the mileage well down (ironically by running a second car). Despite high forecourt prices, part-ex values are poor & it's financial suicide if you spend more than £20-25k on these IMO. Best value route is to source a good base van & take it to a converter if you decide to take the plunge. For us, hiring statics or staying in wooden lodges / cottages is the way forward & I'm going to run a nicer car instead. Perhaps a small lottery win then I can take the Elise on a trailer behind.

Ps Do not be tempted to look at touring caravans as an alternative - I tried that & hated the experience!

The Capri is financial, it could be done but would mean selling my car, plus I haven't a garage so keeping a 40 year old Ford outside in all weather's isn't a great idea, the bike, I looked at a mint CBR1000F the other day, but when you factor in the grand or so on leathers, helmet etc, I guess you could say I just don't want either enough.Here's another one from me-

No.There are plenty of other things I could buy like say a Tablet (heck, nearly bought one yesterday as it was less than £100) but I don't need it. I have three laptops here between two of us and a mobile that can access the internet.
If I'd posted F430 Spider then yes, that is dreamland, but a few hundred on some toys is not out of the question.
