What's the best toy.

Inspired by Ronks reply in another thread. I thought it might be fun to post up your wish lists for a best boys toy. Plus the reason for choosing your favourite.

Caviat you can't just suggest Rachel Riley either.

Any way for a kick of. If I was minted my number one toy would be a Pal_V flying car. Just love the idea of that life style and the freedom it could potentially bring.

Don't know how geeky this would be considered but i've always been partial to a Class 40 diesel loco.
So my own private bit of railway and chunnering up and down it in my own train, listening to that wonderfully whistly engine would be tip top

James Bonds Db5 would be pretty cool... especially when the mrs starts adjusting the air vents

A Tornado fighter plane - what I wouldn't give for a go in one of those!
Oh and I had to Google Rachel Riley

The Millennium Falcon, with Rachel Riley and/or Monica Belluci as co-pilot(s).

Outside cars I like tech stuff

With being a photographer I use lower end versions of these, wish I could justify them but the cost outways the benefit for my use.

iMac pro - The verison I specced has an 18 core xeon, 128gbs ram, 4tb SSD, Vega 64 which comes to £12,299

Canon 200-400mm L F4 and 1DX MKII. Outside my carreer my main passion is motorsport and wildlife so this combo would certainly be nice

Although I might need to get to the gym to use it!

1DX - £5500
200-400mm - £10,100

I also like to travel and I have done quite a few bucket list things but the top of my list would be a trip to antarctica before it disappears.

$24,000 for 24 days

You can do it for cheaper like 5-6k but having the national geographic biologists and photographers there would be an awesome experience.

This beauty for ripping up those downhills, for me their is no bigger adrenaline rush that flying down a mountain right on the edge of control...but at £5k I would be too bothered about marking it to enjoy it!

You’d luv it. I did when I did a couple of trips in the late 80’s

I think my toy would be a Gilfstream G650, go where I want, when I want

Just love the exhaust on the MV Augusta... In fact, the whole bike is pure art.

If money was no object it would have to be one of the remaining Spitfires.
Even though I can’t fly it would be great just to know I owned one.

If you ever get it, you'll also require a couple of these

With the necessary funds I'd be going down this route

I especially like the fact I'd have my own missile defense system

The reason for having this 'Boys Toy' is...To have a great time, like all the loaded folks do. I've had enough of living second rate. If reincarnation happens I'll be paying more attention next time round.

Digging the Montreal always been a huge fan of Alfas, but it would have to hark back to something being air cooled!
