Give it to other half but she can only spend it on 'her' hifi system

I'd take a 6 month sabbatical and travel a fair bit more. Usual stuff - catch up with a few friends, nut a few people who are p*ssing me off presently, eat some nice food, climb a few mountains, break a few more faces, take some nice pictures etc etc.

I might be a little tense right now you see...

Invest it in Corvis Corp.

This will make you 1000% in the next few years.

You'll see.

I'm in at $2.01 and $1.78.

I would spend £9800 on women and booze.

I'd just waste the rest.

Spending money I don't have on things I don't need.

Hire one of my favorite bands and throw one helluva party.
And you're all invited!

Pay off the car loan and take the family on a 3 week holiday to Memphis to see Gracelands & then SF for a trip to Muirwoods and then down the coast to Santa Barbara (which reminds me of Hastings). Oh...and stop off at Santa Cruz pier for a tuna melt in the diner.

Pay off bank loan; blow rest on tout'd Glasters tickets for me and the 4 other mates who had to suffer over 24 hours of pain and misery last week.

£10,000 ? I don't get out of bed for that.

Hmm, save up another £5,000 and spend a morning buying records with Slater.

Only £3K! I'm sure you could do better than that.

I'd give £1K to each of my kids, £3K to my wife and spend £5K building the finest Specialized S-works Epic that has ever existed - covered head to toe in Chris King, XTR, Easton Carbon etc.

I doubt it would actually be all that much better than my current Epic (Fox Float 100RLC forks, LX/XT drivetrain, Hope XC/Mavic 317 wheels, Avid disc brakes, Conti Vertical tyres) but it would look even lovlier...

BTW Here is some video (5Mb) of a proper MTBer - my son!

In my ideal world I'd use it as a down-payment on a yacht and 'drop out' from the corporate world and just chill for a while.

In my sensible-shoes world I'd put it toward work on the house - the new kitchen and extension we're having built, which could easily have funded a 552, 500 with enough left over for a few cases of Grange....

The extension to my house was finally completed yesterday after a final 3-week delay waiting for a plasterer to arrive and do the ceiling in the garage.

All I need now is for the carpet to arrive and get installed (due within the next week or two) and ceiling mount my projector then my AV room should be up and running.

Sell the 968 and purchase a 350Z GT. Hmm, tasty.

(Feeling a bit more friendly today)

I'd give it to my wife with the condition that she has to blow it on something gratuitous and for herself only. She is useless at spending money. I have a selection of toys and gizmos, I'd love to see her buy herself a really cool treat for a change. I bet she'd buy some original art or use it for something far more creative than I ever would.

Bruce

I would have gone with your idea Bruce, but mine tipped a bottle of drink over the seats of my new Evo when she borrowed it yesterday, and they are all sticky and stained now. So she gets nowt!

I fitted the Caterham with non-adjustable seats. She is a foot shorter than me. Alas she cannot drive it!

Bruce

Are you sure, Bruce?

Viv Westwood Racing Boots.

£!0k?

Hmm.

Eric Claptons soon to be auctioned well chewed plectrum?

Might just get it...

P

Stevie

She would also need to know where I have hidden the keys...

She'd even sneaked it back in the garage hoping I wouldn't know she taken it, thinking that the kids would eventually get the blame.

I've just spent a few hours with the upholstery cleaner, and it's not too bad. So I might be speaking to her again by tomorrow. But NO ten grand.

p.s. your Caterham seats have to be waterproof anyway, don't they

Heard from Rockingdoc's garage earlier:
"Must tick full leather option box next time, grumble, grumble".

I'm not really into cars,however since being allowed to drive my mates Caterham,I suddenly see the sense in having a car that is vastly overpowered and exciting to drive,notwithstanding being scared witless.
But....I can have one once the kitchen is done[is there something about being on this forum that automatically results in kitchen upgrades?]

So my 10k would go on the kitchen[unfortunateley it will need a significant top up].Of course Nap300, projector etc would also vie for priority,but I realise that is against the rules.Please send my cheque to....

Leather weighs too much, it'd slow it down.

I still might get a Morgan with my 10k. She'd be too embarassed to steal that. She likes the Evo 'cos she's a school teacher and the kids think she's cool.
