Thought I'd start this, a thread for stuff that we'd like to own, but isn't just old shite, isn't necessarily hideously overpriced, a lottery wishlist if you like. Reckon we'll have all bases covered now!

 

Will start off with this beauty:

$T2eC16N,!zcE9s4g0-ZUBSHfTrIeEg~~60_49.J$T2eC16F,!ykE9s7tw!yVBSHfTqg3Mg~~60_49.JA 1956 Chevy Bel-Air, currently for sale at £39,995. I know some people aren't a fan of yank stuff, but nobody can deny, this is a really good looking car.

 

this stunning car had cost the owner in the region of £117,000.

There's a long spec list in the advert, most of which is pretty meaningless to me, but sounds impressive.

Not me,  for me it is the best of the 50's yank stuff. Seen some fab ones at Santa Pod, amazing piece of work.

Im a man of simple tastes.

 

I married a strapping farmers lass who can cook, clean, drive a tractor and crack walnuts with her thighs

I have three smashing kids who are nicely rounded in life and prefer to play outdoors in the woods than on a playxtendo console

I myself smoke a pipe and enjoy home made cottage pie.

 

Therefore if I won the lottery, or my mother in law pegged it and we sold the farmhouse I would purchase one of these...

The Lara Croft Tomb Raider edition SWB.

 

As I neither do the lottery and my mother in law appears to be carved out of teak, this is not an event likely to happen any time soon in my life.

I'd have one of these as a sensible daily, and then set about filling my newly acquired barns up with broken chod.

On a toy wish list given a reasonably sized lottery win and as it still exists in a barn somewhere

 

 

 

 

Car wise, dunno. I'd probably buy something that takes my fancy at the time run it for a bit to experience what they were like then sell it and buy something else a few weeks later. I used to change cars like my underpants (monthly) in my youth just to find out first hand what they were like and I'd like to carry on where I left off.

I've always had the most ill-advised hard-on for these:

I love them. They've got just the right balance between subtlety and aggression, and the Marcello Gandini factor is most appealling, with the same rear wheelarch openings as a Diablo.

 

They sound wonderful as well.

What is it?

Exactly. Therein lies further appeal.

 

Mazda-rati Quattroporte Evoluzione. 3.2 Twin-Turbo V8.

 

When the EVO version came out with the V8 instead of the V6, the Top Gear mag headline was:

 

"New Maser It Ar Same (Anag)"

 

Which I thought was the funniest thing I'd ever read in a magazine.

I'm convinced there is some Xantia in that Quattroporte.

I know nothing about military vehicles except that some come with wheels and some with tracks, so when I win the lottery from the very occasional punt-on-special-occasions (birthday, giganamous rollovers) I'll take recommendations from the floor on what of these I should buy for a commute vehicle: http://www.milweb.co.uk/classifieds.php?type=1. Half tempted by Maggie's armoured bus so I could decorate appropriately*.

 

"Ooh, a blonde woman in an old car" twattish behaviour from way too many drivers of moderns would then be solved.
