I’ve always wanted to fly planes. Last May, I took an introductory flight at the local airport. Since then I’ve got 55 hours and doing my Checkride next week for my Private Pilots License. Getting there one step at a time. I’d love to own a Cirrus SR22T. I’ll start there because my list of things just gets more expensive from there.

Fell in love with the Mosquito way back in the 60s when the oldies took me to the flicks to see 633 Squadron, listening to the sound of them Merlins belting out of the speakers made my hair stand on end - in fact i might have to watch it again tonight
![]() 633 Squadron clip, dodgy graphics compared to today but one the best wartime movies of it's time by far....

Bugatti Veyrons are pretty good but any Koenigsegg would do as well.
The Gemera is a new tech weapon and Jesko's look mad. Their designs are futuristic - fast and damn sexy bad !

Planes a cool option, never crossed my mind as I'm scared of flying!
An acquantance (sort of mate) has a Gyrocopter. He absolutely loves it and yes he isn't short of cash! |

I quite like BMW and Ferrari. V8 AMG Mercs are a favourite too.
Since buying my Jimny I am into SWB 4x4's. It's awesome watching mates in highly modified dual cabs struggling on the same stuff I crawl over on a near stock Jimny. On the contrary the Jimny is quite low and has small tyres. The big dual cabs leave me for dead when it comes to wading depth. |

Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Mercedes-Benz. Not necessarily in that order. At the moment, I'm in love with the new Bentley Flying Spur.

For me in no particular order:
Modern- Audi VW Merc BMW Old School- Chev Mopar Ford Mustangs I have always admired high end super cars, but even if I had the money, I wouldn't buy one. But that is just me.

For the man who has everything, and lives near a lot of lakes or islands:
