I dont mean cars, because I think thats almost a given.

I was looking earlier for an email to a guy here that makes kitchens, and a search through my inbox reminded me of quite a few things that I'd seen here, and ended up with:

A weird limited edition Seiko watch

A trip to Bhutan

An entire low profile underfloor heating system

A couple of torches

A lighting control system

A woodburning stove (though this one doesnt show up in my inbox, its definitely as a result of here.

Book: The damp house

A positive input ventilation system.

A CCTV system


Pretty sure I'm missing a few things out from a couple of the threads on useless crap you dont need, but these are the highlights for me!

My rather expensive John Ryan bed and mattress was bought solely due to Pistonheads recommendations, even though my partner was adamant she wouldn't buy a bed she had lay on in a shop ... we both love it.

Who did you get the woodburning stove from?

I've bought a couple of watches from Dom, plenty of Lego from Russ, any number of books or albums recommended by people, couple of RC cars inspired by threads, lots of camera gear, some hifi gear, probably plenty of assorted stuff I don't need.

Oh and 2 TVRs.

A mattock, very good.

Thermalite block fixings, excellent.

Some mail order meat from Scotland, pretty revolting. I no longer trust the PH foodies.

New shoes, largely because the PH 'trendies' dissed them. Very good they are too.

PH are often an echo chamber for the emperors new clothes.

I purchased an SL R129. I like it, but listen to the PH crowd it's some sort of motoring messiah.

A selection of scale models as a direct result of browsing that particular part of the site.

Which was odd because hadn’t built one since I was in school and hadn’t really thought about them since then.

Some fountain pens following Robbo's advice.

Triumph Trident, first time out I was offered £2000 more than I paid so that was good advice from Parkette.

A bottle of rum as a Christmas present for my daughter's granddad. I can't remember what it was, but it tasted so good we did the lot on Christmas day. laugh

Laser eye surgery about 7-8 years ago. I followed a thread on the health section. Went to the same place in Fulham that a lot of posters had used. Brilliant service, fantastic outcome and v grateful to all the guys who shared their experiences.
