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. :wink:

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 :)

A Tornado fighter plane - what I wouldn't give for a go in one of those!
Oh and I had to Google Rachel Riley :D
 
Outside cars I like tech stuff :D

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 :cry:

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 :D 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 :cry:

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 :happyclap:

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

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.

I would love to own this, Paul Kossoffs 1959 Gibson Les Paul :D

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

With the necessary funds I'd be going down this route :wink: I especially like the fact I'd have my own missile defense system :evil:
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. :rofl:

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

Just join the Navy and get transfered to fisheries protection, you get paid to go :rofl:
 
Ferrari Dino for me - I know its not a fast Ferrari but it was the first Ferrari that I ever went in at the tender age of 10 - in fact it was one just like this and the passenger door would sometimes shut properly - sometimes it wouldn't - so it added a little jeopardy to every trip :o It sparked a love of cars that is still with me.

If not this - then one of these. :lol:

I have always had a soft spot for the DB6 :)

Thats a bit of a stab in the dark cost wise..... between $800,000 and $1.5 billion!
Most of the time you hear figures that are close, like £200- £300. :lol:
 
For me that would be the one-off OEM E34 M5 convertible: combining the car I should have never sold (that is an E34 520, not an M5) and the Z4. Or to put it differently: pure 90’s p#rn:
