Boys and their Toys

[Ianpbaker]

Ok Guys, whats the most Expensive,useless but fun thing you have brought. Mine is a 70mph, petrol driven radio control car, weighing in at just over £200. what's yours ? :)

[Skitchen8]

who made that car?? (im really in to r/c stuff as i have 3 gas trucks, 2 gas cars, and 5 electric trucks)

[Ianpbaker]

can't actually remember at the mo, will try to find out. It's got a dodge viper shell on it at the moment :)

[Skitchen8]

ok, the fastest car i have right now is a traxxas 4-tec completely perfectly tuned that goes a lil over 60

[Ianpbaker]

I dunno if mine actually reaches 70 as I haven't measured it. that's what speed it says it can get up to on the box.

[DerFarm]

160 acres of land in Canada.

Can't wait to get back up there.

[Ianpbaker]

nice to get away from it all sometimes :). not really a toy though mate ;)

[DerFarm]

Yeah, and every Porsche ever bought was strictly for getting from point a to point b.

the most Expensive,useless but fun thing you have brought

The only things I have ever brought are three very expensive, sometime useless, but always fun children;) Best investment I've ever made! :D

only when it is time for them to get kicked out of the house :D:D
no really that is very true, up till they hit puberty, then there are a pain in the arse.

I have had a couple of toys, couple of r/c cars, none that fast though, mainly 4x4. but the most expensive one is on my home page, my baby....

I have a couple of Paintball markers in my shed.

Semi Auto which clocks in at £350 (should have been £900 but I was rather persuasive) and a Pump Action which cost £150

When I was playing Semi Pro they were very useful, but as I haven't playing in two years they'd come under the 'useless' category.

[Ianpbaker]

you can't beat a good game of paintball. only downside is the bruises for about 5 days afterwards :)

[HarryW]

Bleh. Paintball sucks. Or maybe it's just me that thinks so.

[nabeels786]

yeah paintball rules.i bought one of those cheap 25$ see through pump guns and took it to a game, woops, that was a bad idea.

spent half the time trying to unjam the damn thing

[abdul]

The only thing i have ever liked is a "Talking phone dialer" I spent about $100 and made it up myself in my last year Electronics class;) It is a little toy for me to play around - record your voice for the numbers 0 to 9 and whenever you dial a number, it will speak the corresponding voice:D

[Ianpbaker]

just added another to my collection, just brought my PS2 :D

[paulw]

PS2? I didn't know you could still get those IBM MCA machines...

Oops, just shown my age again...:D

Cheers

[Ianpbaker]

nahh, it was just another port for my computer ;)

I'm impressed!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost you?

I dread to think how much 160 acres here in England would cost! :(

I would LOVE to own a sizable chunk of land - preferably wooded...

[aknisely]

I just bought a wireless trackball a few days ago. http://www.logitech.com/cf/products/productoverview.cfm/84

[Mark Sreeves]

Continuing with land prices, I just did a search for land for sale in England and for land without planning permission ie. parable or wooded land we're talking about £20k per acre!!:eek: :eek:

About cars and driving, I kinda enjoyed driving at 135kmph on the newly constructed expressway between Mumbai and Pune.I assume you meant 135 km/h, which is 85mph.

[MPrestonf12]

you only live once so why not enjoy- even if it is said to useless and impractical!

*Drool*

Lan Party!!! UT2003 all day 'n all night! :p

[Memnoch1207]

Mine? probably a $2000 Bloodworth pool cue (custom made of course)...over the years, it has paid for itself numerous times over.

[hellswraith]

I bought a Star Wars book for 125 dollars. That is pretty worthless.

I spend my money on some cool toys though, but I don't consider them worthless.

Ha! we'd just have to bring a few deisel generators, power converters, desks, hubs, computers, people, tents, some bbqs, bbq-able meat, chips, beer, more beer, a few SUVs, a couple of SeaDoos, a canoe/kayak or two, swimming gear, and bikes.

that, my friend, would be good :)

[BodwadUK]

You cant have a party without Cider :D :D :D


£550 Canon G3 Camera for Astrophotography. Only used it a few times but its cool and should last a few years. I will get my money out of it yet :) :) :)

Desks, hub's, computers, people, tents, BBQ's & beer i can manage, but the SUV and canoe would be a challenge. The bike & swimming gear would be a struggle too thinking about it! :p

I was thinking about hiring a place to do a massive LAN party, with women, booze and lots of PC's! Three of my favourite things.

I'll PM you m8, when it's all setup! :p

You bring the cider m8... and i'll provide the rest! :p

But, if you happen to find any more women on your way (ones which haven't deflatted) that would be great.

:p

[BodwadUK]

Beleive me they will be deflated by the time i get there!!!!! :D :D :D

I am a very lonely man :D :D :D
