Never seen these before but bought the Charger off the back of this post yesterday as a Christmas Present for someone at 3ish yesterday. arrived on my desk this morning. I'm impressed, might order the 911 for myself now.
I've got 4 now. Turbo, Leadbelly and two of the UFO's because I bought the black one at launch but NEEDED the white one as well when they dropped it At least I have an even number and they do take a while before launching new products so won't be buying one for a while. They're very well made for the cost I think.

Just bought a £23 night vision scope from Aliexpress
Works bloody well but the viewscreen is pretty small

Mine arrived today. Went and tested it just now works very well. For £23 it’s definitely worth the money I’d sayWorks bloody well but the viewscreen is pretty small

We both work night shift together doing security work. Absolutely knew he wouldn't be able to resist!
A couple of frivolous bits of wall decor from the NEC motor show last weekend....
A nice poster of the Golden Arrow from the Beaulieu Motor Museum stand, and a (supposedly, according to the chap on the stand) one of one photo print of the BRM V16 under the BBMF Lanc, from Hall and Hall.

I've started wanting a Nintendo Switch. I rarely game, I have a good home PC but as a bit of a geek that's mainly used for programming and cybersecurity work.
I also WFH so there's no argument that I could use it for a commute.
I watched a few YouTube videos and as you know, this then means you get tons of similar videos suggested which further fuels my urge to get one.

I love the switch the types of games released for it are totally up my street. All the more serious consoles come with way too complex games for me. Its worth it for zelda alone IMHO. However there's rumors about its replacement being due soon(I'm sure there always are) might be worth hanging on for the replacement.....I'm trying to resist at the moment

Just had a Floridian holiday and treated myself to about a dozen or so tee-shirts and a couple of pairs of cowboy boots (hard to resist when it's buy one get get 2 free!)
Does that mean you now have three cowboy boots? Just had a Floridian holiday and treated myself to about a dozen or so tee-shirts and a couple of pairs of cowboy boots (hard to resist when it's buy one get get 2 free!)

I got a pair of Ariats on a prior trip, which I love. Want a couple of pairs of more dressy boots, and am out here until the end of the week...

I went through a similar thought process in July this year, bagged myself an OLED and it's still in daily use, love it. It's so easy to pick up and have a quick half hour wherever you are. I am now considering whether to upgrade to a Steam Deck though!I also WFH so there's no argument that I could use it for a commute.

This falls well into this thread but also the Hot Wheels one, so I'll post in both....
Daniel Arsham X Hot Wheels Rodger Dodger. I've been a fan of Daniel Arsham for years and always wanted one of his pieces, he's done a lot of Pokemon collectibles which aren't really my thing but when this came up I had to have it. It's an epic little piece, the box is magnetic and opens as a clam shell, as you open it pushes the case upwards to reveal it. You can take the car out if you unscrew it but I think I'll be leaving it where it is for now!
Not cheap, but very satisfying to look at.
