3. Volvo V70 (XC or normal)
You'll need 1. to pay for the [huge amounts of] fuel for 3. 🙁
Flight to Kathmandu please.
A new bike
A Gibson guitar
An old motorbike to stick in the garage and tinker on
Someone to do the slabbing in my back garden that i'm putting off doing myself
Although happiness at not having or wanting any of those things would be better than having them
A roof rack and cycle carrier for my car so I can get out and explore the trails around here as I am becoming a little bored of my local ones.
The only way the purchase will be funded will be if I agree to let my wife go ahead and get hew carpets for the upstairs of the house.
oh, and a W650 to fettle and customise
I want a nice big poo. There is nothing more satisfying. Nothing!
A carbon fibre hooker with lazers......

A pee when you are just about to burst ranks up quite highly with a poo as well I reckon.
Double your delight by saving up both of them and do them at the same time!
mastiles_fanylion - MemberBagpuss - when we get what we want, we'll go out for a race
You're on!!
.........although *looks at bank account* you may have a wait.....
Fast prime lens
I've completely failed to get worked up by these... They leave me completely cold.

Cheers for that, eating my lunch.
Whilst I'm here:
Cotic Soda or Enigma Ego
Broken wrist to get better
WTF? Why can't I type a prefectly acceptable name for a sexual act without it being edited/deleted? 😕
Whilst watching a film with the Mrs last night it occured to me that I would absolutely love to go into a guitar shop and pick out the one that I liked the best completely independant of the price (rather like I did with my Cervelo R3SL 😳 )
As it is, I need to get a lot better with the second hand one I bought before I can justify such an act of abandon.
Teeth.
A spare Bontrager frame (large).
A second generation VW Scirocco with free tax, petrol and insurance for ever.
Some bearing lock to stop the play in my Turner.
My XTR brakes to work perfect.
Oh, and one of those Dell Duo things.
a Gunboat 66...

But will settle for a Wildcat.

Want - a pair of Salomon Enduros

(Might be getting a pair of the back of the Salomon lorry as well! Wooo!)
Bike want - Whyte 19Ti frame (To be built up with Sram X0 and a few otehr bits of shininess). Might actually treat myself to one of these later on this year, actually.
A very low maintenance G/F or _ _ _ _ buddy would be nice , its been a while. . .
Settle for a newer Passat / Audi A6 estate around a 52 MY with a 5 digit milage , and maybe a new 85L FSW board to replace the one i snapped last year.
Thing is i have the ability to buy a lot of stuff , but its just stuff.
quite a good time to sell the 400 I think, but not a good time to buy a Laser (check out the massive issues that threaten to screw the class completely - including dropping form the Olympics). Finn mate.... you want a Finn
I'd love a dinghy again... But I'd also want a house by the sea somewhere warm to sail it from.
I want:
a) a static caravan in Eifel National Park (plan on getting this within the year)
b) a long wheel base T4 Caravelle (need to get this within the next six months or so)
c) an unlimited book budget (unlikely to ever happen)
And a whole bunch of other things that I can't now remember.
I want one of those chainsaw phones that thebunk is going to invent.
A monkey butler,
A trebuchet for firing a piano down the garden after every Sunday lunch,
An original butterscotch finish Fender Broadcaster,
An RS500 spec Sierra running on steel wheels on narrowed axles and covered in rust, primer and mostlr beige with some different coloured panels,
A Laverda Jota, or Norton Commando in cafe racer trim.
Another Corvette.
That's it really, a moderate lottery win should do it please.
After 6 months with neither, I have just bought:
1. a sofa; and
2. a bed.
It has been an expensive month. The sofa is unbelievably marvellous, and I can barely express how much I am looking forward to the bed. I am utterly, pathetically sick to my bones of sleeping on the floor, and was repelled and horrified to find a mouldy patch under my nest the other day. So I did what I said I wouldn't do and bought the bed on credit. Really, for the moment I am sated. 🙂
In the very long term, I would like to own a small flat with a bit of west-facing garden and a reasonably well-ventilated bathroom. But that's going to take a while.
1. An Audi R8
2. A hot tub
3. Road bike
4. Sonos sound system
Update:
I've had my poo now. Crimped off something a rhino would be proud of.
Lots better than all your fancy holidays and bikes and cars and posh stuff.
And I can do it again tomorrow as well
😀
Bike related - new front wheel to match the new powertap/DT swiss rear one.
Sort of bike related - RS4 Avant. Looked at one last Friday.
Not bike related - Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon Classic (it's a watch).
Got most of the bikes I want so...
Materialistic
1 Caterham 7 of some sort.
2 Helicopter (and some lessons...)
3 Really good quality sound system
4 Quite fancy a boat too
Not materialistic
1 Time to play with toys
2 Ability to play with toys really really well
To live by a huge lake surrounded by huge mountains in BC.
Even though I still earn a relatively modest salary (compared with stoner etc), I'm so used to having f*** all that I feel like a popstar! In reality, I'm positively overjoyed not to be living hand to mouth as I did for so long.
housetruck with a pukka woodburner
nice DSLR
a charming rug
cotic soda
a mongolian yurt
stans wheels
a tricked out municycle
new brakes
a nice integrated amplifier
my Revs getting a good service and some new bushes
the chances of any of these things happening within the next 12 months..?
very slim
New kitchen/diner (possibly soonish).
Pair of 30mm carbon clinchers for the road bike.
Couple of motocross bikes and a big field (and a digger).
Apartment in Maui.
Caterham 7
Rolling road tuning for my diesel
Working knee
Realistically only going to be paying for an op on my 🙁
My favourites so far:
The spare cotic soul
The poo
And the rather alarming sounding carbon fibre hooker.
More than ayrhing at the moment I just want to stop wanting to buy shiny things. I think it's getting pathological. I quite fancy an iPad mind...
Machete slingshot.
And plasters. Lots of plasters.
Thanks to the recent watch thread - I now want one of these :)[img]

Blue Ford Transit, with wide white stripes running over the top, lowered, excessively fat wheels, pimped out in back as a day van, with a nice crisp 351 running through an auto, with line lockers.
Oops, nearly forgot the nitrous...
Anyhow, that would be a nice start.
OP - a 10-20mm Sigma isn't a want, it's a necessity. A tripod is an absolut basic - like breathing. Go spend some cash.
Personally, I'd quite like a shiny new car to make my clients think I'm a success (I am, but I like my old, rusty Focus estate - it'll swallow bikes and it's already so manky I really don't care if they're covered in dog poo).
No interest at all in watches or yachts.
A volcano lair, with submarine pens, missile launchers, some decent singletrackoff the top and a Stannah Stairlift to get there (with a bike rack.) Think Dr No and you're about there.
Failing that I quite fancy an Anthem 29er but Mrs Hillsplease assures me I haven't earned it. Which is probably fair.

YES! Right, I'll take that to Mrs Grips!
Btw it's the Oly 9-18mm I want, better than the Sigma. Although admittedly it doesn't look as cool.

A short travel FS bike (current fave is a Rz 120)
A new driveway
A home office/garden room
A 5m bell tent
I want a mk1 or mk2 giant reign frame for about £200 = £300 to go with all the parts on my current bike and a rockshox reverb seat post to top if off.
😀
1. A 4 bedroom house in the countryside with largish garden, veggie plot, and meadows or woodland near by to walk in -2-3yrs
2. crafting/writing studio -3- 5yrs
3. floor loom -2yrs
4. Camper van -next year or so
5. new body which doesn't ache -ASAP
6-101. whatever else husband wants -once I get what I want first, unless they're not too expensive...if he wants the lens he better be saving his own cash
1-3 will come at the same time I reckon
if he wants the lens he better be saving his own cash
Already on it 🙂
a chicken that lays blue eggs

Get 'im telt Mrs Grips
