Stuff you want and could afford but will probably never have

Won't actually buy them because of space, noise and me not knowing how to properly play them.

i have this issue but with two kids the noise would be exhausting, still think they would look good in the dining room though. A colleague plays them in a band and bought a lovely set the other week that i want, the name escapes me but that Corey from LA ink done the art on them.

Almost bought one a few months back, but will probably never happen.

Group sex with three or four nice hookers. I know I'll never do it but it's nice to think about occasionally.

It's not all it's cracked up to be.

Buy em, if you live in Cheshire I teach the drums, when I'm not working away that is.

M3, RS4, AMG

I could probably own any of these beasts but the potential wallet raping scares me somewhat.

just in case you are interested my B7 RS4 cost £250-300 per year to maintain (ex fuel, tax and insurance) and that is with an annual service which was over-doing it given my low mileage.

I sold after 7 years for 50% depreciation

Exception rather than the rule I'd say, Just how low was your mileage? Discs and pads must be £1k++ tyres? and that's just consumables

My ST costs more to maintain to a good standard, I'm not hands on though.

Glock 19

It's way too hard to have one in the UK. Even if you want to keep it in the club's gun cabinet and shoot at paper targets once in a while.

More Le Creuset cast iron dishes, in teal blue. I don't know where I'd put these, plus I hardly ever cook these days, but they're pretty to look at.

A battered old Defender for the winter months when the roads around here are impassable. I only have one parking space with the house, but hey ho.

More Louboutins. Cheapening somewhat since every orange TOWIE lardarse wears them nowadays, but it is a truth universally acknowledged amongst wimmins that the ideal number of pairs of shoes to own is What One Already Has + 10.

[ChemicalChaos]

My own glider. I'd love to have one, but one has to look at the fact that every gliding club already has a selection of machines open for their members to use with no worries about storage or maintenance. The only benefit of having your own is being able to take it where you want, when you want, for competitive flying - which isnt an aspect of the sport that appeals that much to me anyway

I have actually enquired at the local music shop about lessons, but didn't go any further as I imagine I would lose interest before I could learn to play them as well as I would like to.

Better left as a dream I guess.

A motorbike, I used to ride moto x as a kid and mate around with Jamie Whitham and always thought I would become a biker at some point but it will never happen, having a friend who is the transplant co-ordinator for a large northern hospital puts pay to that, especially when she announces she loves bikers, especially on a sunny bank holiday.

If your mechanically minded get a knackered pinball and do it up, you will make money and have fun.

[mini1380cc]

996. The money is there but I'm long overdue "putting a ring on it".

Watches. I have my heart set on a watch and want it more than my left arm. The trouble is that each week my heart is set on a different watch so I wouldn't be satisfied unless I bought many watches and now we have gone from an MX5 budget to a nice house in the north of England budget. Not a chance.

So, I wear a g-shock outside of work and a seiko to work.

On the flip side of the thread, I always wanted a Scott mountain bike ever since renting one in France in the early 90's. Bought one at a ridiculous price in 2010. (More than enough to satisfy one watch purchase. Oh the irony). The Scott Genius (it's like the name taunts me) is hanging in my garage like a big ornament only been brought done to inflate the tyres. The trip odo says it has done around 150 miles total.

Similar watches (four G Shocks and a Seiko auto divers watch for me)!

I got a bit silly with my bike for a while but now cycle less (I was doing well over 2000 miles a year, mostly off road) so it's become sensible again. It was costing more than both cars to keep it running smoothly.

What size is your Genius?

erm, almost as tall as the empire state building apparently.
