More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..

[theguvernor15]

If you want strong magnets, get them out of dead commercial microwaves...christ those things are strong...
Keep them well away from phones/bank cards/monitors or tvs though!

[guindilias]

And your hard drives, if you aren't on an SSD drive yet!

You won't regret. honest.

I can see the B&B we stayed at in that pic when we were out cycling the Bealach. Owner was a right character, had a big gas guzzling Jeep which can't have been cheap to run in that neck of the woods!

Ha... Tommy!

GetCarter are you on the West Highland way by any chance? walked it a few years ago and I am sure I stopped somewhere like this

This is pretty frivolous, In that I already have 6 other drones!



However it is also going to earn a living for itself for our aerial video and photography business!

[nigelpugh7]

This also goes with the previous frivolous drone purchase.



It’s a beautiful lens and gimbal though, even if it is the single,most expensive piece of camera equipment I have ever purchased!

Don't check the price of those things then... you'd have a heart attack.

Oh don't worry, I've seen it 😳
I can't complain because my prop buying habit is equally costly.

Mine won't open the fridge door but very easily lifts my Le Crueset casserole (diameter approx 12 inches) and is a proper bd to remove.

Don't do that, unless you really know what you are doing.

Microwaves unlike pretty much every other type of electrical appliance can give you a lethal shock months after it was last energized.

Looks great, when's the best time to visit the area, weather / midges wise please?

I've driven through Scotland once and would love to go up the west coast camping with the family, but scenes of people covered head to foot in netting puts me off taking the kids...

Avoid mid June to end Sept. Perfect here at the moment, no midges, sod all traffic:

Thats just fab.

I've stayed in the cottage at the head of the loch in that pic - It's a great location (if there are no midges) with views to match !

I'm a careful lady driver.

Anyway, I don't pick it up until next Saturday.

Edit: I do have a photo though.

Dealer. Church's Performance Cars over in Surrey.

The original owner seemed to have ticked pretty much every option on the list when it was originally specced.

They have several others still for sale if you're interested. Really nice guys too - I spent far longer there than needed, just chatting about cars and experiences.

Edit: Sorry, I misread. I read that as you had been looking for one for a long time. Yes, I have had an eye out for the right one for a while. An email alert from AutoTrader popped up this morning, I had the day off, so phoned up, popped over, liked it, bought it.

Those really are stunning pictures Getcarter!! Every couple of years we holiday in Scotland, not going next until 2020 though but we are doing the Northcoast500 then and a bit of a tour down to Edinburgh for a couple of nights!!

[g3org3y]

Those images must be photoshopped. Scotland + sunshine and no rain!? Hmmm.....

Since I've almost completed my 1/18 car collection and Minichamps have just released some 1/12 models, would be a shame not to dabble in other scales.
