It's my King Dick adjustable spanner stamped with "A.M 1939". A.M. Being air ministry; so it helped keep the RAF planes flying during the Battle of Britain. It's therefore referred to as "The Spanner That Helped Save The World From Hitler".

Also my motorbike.

Nothing at all.

If my flat was to burn down, I'd grab my passport, a book and a baseball.

Several bits that I think are cool ,no real value but are cool in my eyes .
A test meter used on aircraft during the second world war .
Also marked AM so Air Ministry issue .
A padded gig bag used by Wings when they toured America , it's falling apart but has history .
A model of Brittania racing yacht value unknown but I love the style .

Well there's the 944, my wife (but I don't own her!), some very nice 70s/80s leather jackets accumulated via Ebay . . . and my 45ish year old Vango:

I have many things that are generally considered cool by others but the thing that I personally consider the coolest is the little embroidered label inside of the suit I had made at Sam's in Hong Kong that says "hand tailored for" and my name.

That and a rather splendid pair of button boots from J Fitzpatrick.

Likewise, I'm not to into 'stuff'.
Passport, wallet, phone, shut door.
Maybe if there's time I'd grab a painting I bought and some sentimental things.

Depends who is asking:

If it's a skiing buddy, it's my Hexo+ drone
If it's a petrol head, it's my MX5 currently undergoing a V8 transplant
If it's a tech-geek, it's maybe my Myo gesture control arm bands

Ditto. I can't decide whether to not care or be depressed.
