Car / house / holiday plans for 2012
Discussion
What plans do you have for the year ahead?
For me,
Car: Evo 9 or Z4M
Holiday: I fancy a trip down the german avenues route - anyone heard of it? I just saw it in a book of the best journeys in the world. I think it'd be better on a bike tho, so I might have to get a license!
House: New kitchen and a pizza oven outside!

Cars no change keep them so expecting obviously routine servicing possibly set of new rears on the BMW as at some point next year try will have done 40k miles
House redecorate all bedrooms, possibly new main bathroom,
Holiday
Italy for a week
Bansko for a week
Val DES for a week
Might get a nice two week break in carribean and Mexico
But will see on the last one as might do another ski trip...

Car - luxobarge maybe a 530d msport.
Holidays - India at start of Feb for 2 weeks, maybe a week or so in Europe later, then Canada or Iceland if funds allow.
House - Halfway through renovating my cellar. Not sure if it will be a gym or a home cinema. Think gym would be used more and save moneey in the long term on membership.
Also want a new bathroom and some gardening work is needed.

Car - NOT buying this year, going to sell at least one of the fleet!
Bikes - Keeping the same too, might sell the motox though.
Holiday - Not sure yet, wanna get away for a week but with a baby might be difficult. Ring trip still though
House - finish decorating and looking to move. Need more space.

Car - maybe a RR Sport as a daily hack, once the novelty of going to Lidl in the gallardo wears off 
Holiday - probably visit the gf's mum in Czech rep... I will be trying to gt out of this though. Maybe a week in Italy or something. I live in the algarve so it feels like a holiday all year round anyway.
House - might finally be the year I buy somewhere to live personally, not sure if buying in Portugal is a great idea right now though.ive been watching estate agents prices and some have been massively reduced but I need it to fall further I think...

Holiday - I don't do holidays as I won't take my top off in the sun, haven't been away for the last 5 years due to that.
Then go somewhere where you don't need to take your top off, i.e. not a beach place. Loads of great stuff out there to enjoy fully clothed.Car - None as in HK we don't have the roads/parking etc.
Holidays - Harbin (north China, big ice festival), Japan, Singapore, Bali or Philippines, Road trip round LA/Vegas/San Fran in something like a cobra or old barge with big fins
House - Carry on renting as we're only 2 months into a 2 year lease. Might try to buy something tiny to rent out though.

My brother does the Vegas thing every year (UFC) and always does a small road trip for a couple of days. Last year the had a Viper, the videos/short films of them playing silly buggers were hilarious!Car - None as in HK we don't have the roads/parking etc.

So much depends on how the business goes, but (subject to operating to profile):
Car: Maserati gran turismo s
House: re-decorate the lounge and finish the mortgage off, try and get a deposit on a local ruin I've got my eye on to convert to a house over about 5 years
Holiday: maybe a week in st Ives just before the school holidays. 2013 is my big holiday year: I'm aiming for a two-stop at ulusaba (south africa) and Mauritius / seychelles in feb 2013.
