Couldn't see any thread of this sort...….so does anyone have a rough/concrete bucket list of things they want to do before the inevitable?

Fast approaching 40 here (cant actually believe I am, its crept up fast on me)

Two young kids, Xmas over, years seem to fly past.....I think ive started to get a tad scared in a way. Its got me thinking of making a list of things I just want to do this year/in general

Goodwood Festival of Speed
Fun Daily Car/Weekend Car
See a few countries I haven't seen yet
Have a long drive to say Lake Garda

Coupled with the fact my fathers just retired (I want to experience more with him)

So whats on your list?

I sort of have one:
Lots of places to visit with the wife
Would like to drive to the Oresund Bridge in Norway
Get fitter - doing that as we speak


I'll have a proper think and re do the list at a later date

No. Bucket lists assume that you'll have time to do the stuff that's on them - which you can't guarantee. And your priorities will change over time too.

If you really want to do something then do it (or save up for it and then do it once you can afford it).

The only bucket list I have is that I have a large black one, a blue one, and a small green one - all with handles. smile

I like lists, I genuinely do. I love ticking them off as I get closer to my goal.

I wouldn't start a bucket list, just seems so......................... final.

Hmm, a few from me

* Build my own kit car, through to IVA and get a number plate. Probably a Seven a like but secretly would like to go straight to an AC Cobra
* Lose 15-20 kgs
* Rebuild my Dad's A35 Engine
* Get a six figure bonus
* Pay down my mortgage
* Retire before 65 in comfort

Hmmm...I can't think of anywhere I *must* go. I've done a load of cool European driving holidays before kids and would again, but that is ticked off the bucket list.

No. There are certain things I want to do such as dive with a Great White (in a cage at this stage!). But with a young kid it is not looking likely anytime soon.

Pay the mortgage, Retire ?

No, I think the OP meant an "Imaginative" Bucket List, are you sure you ain't dead now ? check your pulse laugh
