Stuff I want but can't bring myself to buy just yet

[Pondlife]

One of the guys I work with at the moment has a farm in Denmark that his parents run for him. He's currently doing a masters in organic farming (or something like that) to get the skills, and then he's off farming instead of this IT bollox.

Sounds brilliant to me - when it's up and running, we've offered to spend summers picking and digging (or whatever you do in a garden).

If it's in a garden it's called pottering.
If it's in a field it's farming.

Both sound great to me.

- Either the new range rover, bmw M6 or the i8 (need to somehow convince the misses that is makes more sense than towels, kitchens and potential weddings!)

That's about it really!

Even my mrs woohoo would prefer the i8 over a wedding!

There is a guy that's got an i8 near us so see it pretty regularly. It's a fabulous looking car. Really eye catching and looks a million times more interesting than anything else on the road but Jesus Christ when it drives past me I feel like crying.... Talk about disappointing. No growl, burble, crackle, howl or anything. Not a sound, zip, nadda. It's just not right.

For gods sake give us a V8 / V10 option! I wouldn't have one of the electric ones if it was the last car on earth.

I don't garden or potter. But I'd quite happily spend some time away from IT on his farm helping out.

I know when he starts farming full time, I'm going to be so envious.

Tractor driving

Tractor driving

Would they drive tractors on the wrong side of the farm?

[vwdan]

Well there are plenty of blokes who'd like those things as well.

I also forgot to add a mini-max Big green egg to the list
And of course a Brewie, brewing machine

not exactly your typical girlie request.

And I'll counter a little by saying the first thing I want to buy for our new house is a range cooker for the wife

I would love a proper Aga/Rayburn. But a wood burning stove would come higher up the list... sadly I'm not sure either is feasible in our house really

I doubt we'll be able to pull off a proper one, but the 3/4 jobs aren't that much wider than a normal oven and, well, I'll make it fit!
