I had a lot of fun reading this this morning. And a big A+ goes to the skeleton analogy I shall be using that for a while!
So, yes on the first wedding ring, dearest bit of gold I ever bought!
Car, without a doubt, the recently purchased Range Rover, (59 plate 65k) after 8 1/2 year with my Lexus RX300 which went everywhere even when I was doing part time keepering and a lot of loading that did not go wrong once.
Gun, A straight hand stock Sabatti game gun bought new in 12g started double discharging very early on bought when in Northumberland so shamefully p/x it and took the hit.
A Westwood ride on mower, no design progress for 30 years cuts our paddock well but has more moving parts than a Swiss chronograph.
Anything where I buy the cheapest thing available and my wife then says 'You only get what you pay for' this in particular applies to tools.
i traded Famars shotguns on the grey market for a while, admittedly when the company was having a few financial problems a £2000 gun (at best) with £10000 worth (or not) of engraving did 14 of them never tempted to keep one!
Anything that floats, boats are Gods way of telling you you have too much money. Might have been more fun if it wasn't for the ***** British weather, did get to love Weymouth tho'
