    If you can't pick up some airhead in Balham then you really must be doing something wrong.

    just get a lay and then take her to pizza express, then to the cinema, then for a smart meal in town, introduce her to your folks... hey presto: you've got a girlfriend.

    worked for me when I lived in Clapham South. we got married last September. :)

    On my list of sh*t that I really don't need, but cannot justify the expense:

    lego Unimog: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/mot ... o-car.html

    1" Straight blade carbon road fork - my steel fork is fine

    Aerospoke front wheel - my front wheel is fine

    Touchscreen in car entertainment system - we have Comand fitted in the car already with a blu-ray player, but it is not touchscreen.....

    Whats on your list of useless sh1te that you either cannot justify the expense or really don't need......?

    Damn, wish you wouldn't post links like that...such things in the household are considered 'engineering porn' and as such off limits to Jake :lol: :roll:

    I suppose one of these would be quite nice. :D
    I've heard they are difficult to control though.

    yeah - suspenders are a nightmare in the dark......I assume you mean the Yugo Cabrio below - fine motor for todays modern bricklayer......

    On another note: I crave a Jaguar XK SS - however, at around £3M a go, probably not going to happen.

    This would be nice too:

    Both very expensive and I can't see old katherine hiking up a mountain with a tent.....

    Well even if you can't afford the whole thing, you could certainly buy yourself the same pair of jubblies. I believe her surgeon would do you them at £2000 each or 3 grand for the pair.

    I cycle past a Unimog every day - I swear it's bigger than the house of the guy that owns it. Looks great though and he must pray every night for a 1 metre deep fall of snow! Damn - in fact I pass 2 Unimogs - there's another one used by a forester guy.

    Where do you even begin with a list of things you want but don't need? Frankly just about everything I buy these days probably falls into this category...

    I'm always on the lookout for Assos gear at good prices although in all honesty I'm pretty well kitted out but mostly in cheaper stuff.
    Another bike to add to the stable is always a possibility, got road race and TT bikes present, commuting SS and a couple others also but maybe a disc-braked geared bike for commuting in grotty weather and a chinese-carbon frame to build into a nice light fast road bike.

    To go with the Ducati I currently have occupying garage space and rarely gets used a Jap 250 2-stroke like an NSR or TZR V-twin would is something I often spend some time searching around for , that and a more modern V-twin like an SP1/2 or RSV or even a ZXR750K (proper single seat superbike version). Pointless but nice.
    Also a classic Subaru like an STI-RA or similar for looning around in and drinking fuel. Oh, and a MKII RS2000 or Mexico to slot a cheeky wee Cosworth motor into it - in actuality I'd never get round to having the time to do it but anyway ..
    A fancier camera - after a wee while with a s/h 20d I'd like a Canon EOS1DX maybe that plus a few lenses and flashgun.

    House in Italy - Umbria would be fine, even somewhere that needed work on it despite my lack of house repair skills.
