Sportscars - nah, not anymore.
Fancy bike - nope, barely glance at them now.
Designer clothes - not since my early 20s

But!... my neighbour has just had all his ridge tiles re-done - and they look very neat indeed. Couldn't help wishing mine were in such good order!

Have you moved to either an industrial estate or adopted a 'traveller' lifestyle?

Being able to get out of a chair without involuntarily making a noise like a slightly distressed cow.

A good night sleep. Part old man bladder, and part having small kids.

Unimog, it's about the only motorised vehicle on the road that gets me excited.

Sleep - although not sure that is due to age as much as it is due to having children.

Spare time, in which I may choose to do sweet FA if I so desire.....

A sports car...

A garage for said sports car and bikes with a well appointed man cave section in which to waste my spare time

Comfy shoes.
and Youth!
I took the dogs for a walk in the woods over the road a few days back - down to and along the river, up the steps and along the top by the golf course. There's a bench at a good viewpoint where you can see for miles. I surprised two kids having a snog. They looked embarrassed and I just felt old. I've never felt older. Three times their age- old, old, old...

This. I don't really get excited about motorised vehicles, but a Unimog with the massive camper body on the back, and a Delorean* would be good.

*I know they're rubbish. Don't care.

Been toying with the idea of chopping in the van, (oldish Peugeot Expert) and car (newish Seat Leon) and buying an even older van with more seats (Berlingo) and Porsche 911. [img] [/img]

Get something like that for well under £15k

youth.

I am 52, I could skip youth as such and all the hassle but trade it for some human growth hormone. Definitely missing the ability to recovery from injury. I still have a scar from a simple scratch trying to locate an old trail after forestry work 8 months ago and another from a rock ding in Chamonix nearly 3 years ago never mind the last knee injury.

I understand Human Growth Hormone you can buy 😳

@tthew - can I suggest a Cayman, you can get quite a new one for £15k
