In your life outside cars and specifically MG's, name three things that you covet: probably lottery win territory.
Note: not car related.

Me:
A Gibson ES 175D guitar. Rare and beautiful.
A master class with Eric Clapton.
An apartment in Monaco.

See, I resisted a night with Holly Willoughby. Her loss. Perhaps.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..

1. World peace.

2. I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I’d like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land.

3. I'd like a bottle of coke. :lol:

You're just being silly now Mr Ping.

I bet you watch that advert daily on YouTube. :yesnod:

Its in my Top 10 of sickly-sweet vom-inducing adverts of all time.

It's really strange,but I can't really think of anything. Does that make me sad or happy? :-? :-?

Is desire necessarily materialistic? My list has only one material item and I can afford to get one of those anytime. :yesnod:

Perhaps the key is being happy with your lot. Otherwise we might all be on the Ferrari forum. :lol:

I can happily and honestly say that there is nothing I seriously 'covet' in life. Maybe I'm just lucky to be content with the grind of working life. However, if I win the lottery tonight I'd treat all our members to a Ferrari weekend. It's always nice to have a taste of a good thing at least once in your life I reckon. :drive:

EDIT- I suppose I should go buy a ticket now. Usually I don't. :wave:

At this point in life I mainly covet car stuff.
In lottery win territory that means a house with a very large garage
and the cars to fill it. I have an acquaintance who retired quite well off
and he bought a warehouse to keep his toys in, complete with a hoist, milling machine,
lathe and beer fridge. :beer: That would suit me fine.
As far as cars, of course that depends on the size of the win, from a McLaren at the top to a supercharger conversion on my F at the lower end. Or both...What the Hell! B)

Other than that it's mainly stuff that can't be bought, Grandchildren, better knees etc
so I'll just have to be patient.

Can't think of three but I would like my own stretch of chalk stream to fly fish on.

1) Ferrari 458 spyder
2) a year out of work
3) enough money to pay for fuel and shipping the Ferrari around the world and drive all the best places on this planet

I'm not a big Ferrari fan.. But boy I'd love a 458 spyder
