I have been really naughty..

My kitchen.
I must have the latest everything.
Total waste of time as I am now surrounded by gadgets which I hardly ever use, preferring to do things the way mama taught me. biggrin

A 172 is the model car I own...a Clio 02 model...
Fran,
The reason I got the tyres & wheels so cheap is I worked in the car modding & tuning trade for 14 years so know quite a few people ...the tyres are not cheapos but yokohamas which are superb but I tend to get thru a few as I do track days in the car..
I drive too fast & too many miles to be anything but safety orientated...

I refer the honorable member to the reply I made a few postings above.
Fran
Sorry - which honourable member>????

If there are two things I love to spend money on it's
Clothes & Horse Racing
Now if you were to look at me you'd say this man spends no money on clothes,and you'd be wrong!God I seem to spend hundreds on clothes and still look like I've been dragged through a Charity Shop backwards - though I do get some clothes from charity shops.
One day I took the bold move of clearing out my wardrobes,4 bin bags of clothes to the charity shop - I wonder if there are pensioners out there walking around in any of my Paul Smith cast offs? confused

Horse Racing - well after Cheltenham this week I'd rather not say anything apart from looks like Smartprice beans all week! :shock:

Peugeout 106 rally car
Imprezza turbo
All this and a twelve mointh ban. oops didnt see that gatso :cry:

- Gotta say it - the man has taste. If it weren't for act of wife, I would have one. More of an SG man myself, but OMG I would sell my soul at the crossroads for that LPS.
Anyway - my list:
Buying cool stuff for the kids (though its really for me)
DVDs, CDs, Books, Guitar Strings by the dozen.
French reds - in particular Bordeaux and strange Loire reds
Yoss

How great are 1275 GT's! biggrin

Much better than Coopers in my eyes!Has it got that box front from the 70's with the GT Badge they were my favourite models.

19 Mar 2004

Apart from my obvious passion for dressing up.
I have a sizable collection of CD's and showing my age i still have several hundred vinyl singles and Longplay gramaphone records lol

I Also follow with a Passion the worst football team in England, fact over the last 3 years no has a worse record then us, but i still turn up. Any ideas who it might be? Well, heres a clue surprisingly its not Sheffield Wednesday. In the summer i love Cricket and Speedway.
I like travel, photography and i'm getting into gardening not really a passionate gardener but i do like my garden to look nice. Also i like 69position

and :cheers:

Hi Sigo
It surely has. Ive built a 100bhp 1330 engine for it too. Really upsets boy racers in gtes and of an old classic like me really lol

19 Mar 2004

Oh yes. Photography. I won't confess how much I spent on the last lens I bought.

19 Mar 2004

Oooh Warwick you really know how to excite a man with dirty talk like that-I once saw a GT with a 2 litre Cavalier GSI engine in it!!!
I had to get rid of my (very poorly) mini in the summer,I followed it all the way to the scrapyard to wave it goodbye-sad I know. :cry: :cry: :cry:

19 Mar 2004

We will get kicked out of here soon and have to start a swinging mini lovers site.
ps I have been really naughty and bought a set of new alloys for it in anticipation of the return of my driving licence.
I love my mini but it does have limitations. Not exactly a doggers dream motor unless you are a double jointed dwarf

19 Mar 2004

19 Mar 2004

I can't seem to stop spending money on Ebay rolleyes

I'm with Misschief, i cant help spending money on anything that catches my eye on Ebay, there is always something i need!!!

21 Mar 2004

Terrible Stevee isn't it!
I just don't know how I got by before I purchased 200 glow sticks 8) (even the kids are bored of em now rolleyes

) - but they were a bargain!!!! lol

21 Mar 2004

I am afraid that its things for the kitchen that consume an unreasonable amount of my dough rolleyes

In every cupboard and on every shelf there is some gadget or other that I once found quite indispensable for a week and then forgot about.
Occasionally I dig out a sandwich toaster or a slow cooker for a few days but they all find their way back into the dark.
Frankly, you can forget your food Processors and similar gadgets, the old Mandolin and a whisk will do the job for me most of the time.

21 Mar 2004

Will you people PLEASE stop talking about eBay !!! Yes, that means you too, my darling Misschief !! rolleyes

I've not been on there for a while and all these mentions are getting me curious to pop on and see whats around again........ :twisted:
I can almost sense a needless purchase coming on..........
