Must admit it would be nice to hang the print next to the original artwork. However a £750 bill on the Elise has reduced my temptation..... today, must hide wallet. paperbag
That was before I saw the customised version with choice of colour and registration plate!

Luckly the standard print (£35) is the same colour as mine, even has the hard top. £85 for the custom print in your colour and numberplate.

Brilliant thread, and definitely me! Especially as one earlier poster says, where I think it's a 'bargain', so I just have to have it!

I haven't been daft recently though, with the most recent purchase being a HP TouchPad during the firesale. It then sat uncharged for about 4 months, and in the other months has barely been used! hehe

Bargain though.

ETA: Completely forgot my Z4M purchase! That was a bit daft. Sold it just 2 months later!

PS3 - Hardly ever use it.
Steering wheel for the Xbox - used once
Landrover - Spent a lot on it, have only covered 1900 miles in 2 years
Volvo - Bought on a whim, really didn't need a 3rd car

Mont Blanc is my weakness: pen case, wallet, key ring, key holder. At least the pens were gifts.

More info/pics please, that is a hell of a thing to hoard/frivolously purchase
Not much more to add really. I have a couple of shotguns (a Berretta 682 over/under) which I shoot sporting clays and skeet occasionally, (a Benelli Nova Pump/Tac) for home defense - that I've shot at the range, maybe twice and 3 hand guns. The Glock 17 pictured does car duty and just rattles around in the center console - the Kahr KA9 (dismantled) is my concealed carry and I also recently bought a Springfield Armoury Xd .45 cal which is a bit of a beast, but is too big and heavy to conceal - I just liked the look of it. Goes off with a hell of a bang, but other than that, it's no better than the G-17, so essentially, I just pissed-away $700. I'm thinking of giving it to my daughter.

I have recently just purchased/am purchasing a house.

This is my first ever house. I have a list as long as my arm of rather dull items I need to purchase, such as a washing machine, and a telephone line rental.

However (genuinely) the very, very first thing I have purchased for my new house, and indeed, my new life as a bona-fide grown up adult person, is a 2 ft print of this -



I am quite excited about framing it and getting it on the wall.

Oh, I forgot two others.

For some daft reason, I do quite like old games consoles, and also like DVDs and Blu rays. It's ridiculous!

The usual games(over 200 on steam alone) DVD, cd's. My iPad, a guitar I've never played a g25 that sits in the cupboard most of the time.

The biggie though, a Porsche 912. My 2nd one. It sits in the garage and does less than 3000 miles a year. I got rid of the first because I never drove it. Replaced with a cayman then another 912 when kids came along. I never learn.

Any good?

I'm currently abusing a "Weeping Demon" and i fecking love it.

Always wanted a Jem, and after 6 years of ownership, I think I've decided my Les Paul isn't for me, might set about finding a decent one.
.
I really like it, it sounds great and can give a slight out of phase sound depending on setup and is a very nice pedal, compared to a standard ts9 it is costly (£130 vs £325) but I really like it.

Shirts. One of my few weaknesses. At last count, easily over 50.
