    Besides the obvious house and car, unless of course its something super cool like a tree house or Delorean.

    Mine is an 800e fish tank - Don't even like all that much but for some reason I thought it looked cool at the time!

    So whats yours?

    A signed photo of James Gandolfini, Michael Imperioli and Steven Van Zandt (Tony, Christopher and Silvio from The Sopranos respectively) in a frame and with a caption.:cool:

    Bought it in Las Vegas when I was over there for New Years last year and it cost me US$850. Pure spur of the moment purchase. And what's more, it survived the trip home in my suitcase too!!!:D

    Looks so good...

    That, or possibly a Carl Gross black suit. €1,500. Only gets worn on the biggest and best of occasions. That freakin suit cost more than my first car!!!:o

    A trip to India. I reckon I spent just under 2000 in total. Bearing in mind I'm only 20 and had to work my bollicks off for god know how long in my **** job. Many boozless weekends were had trying to save for that hollier. Most interesting wedding ever though.

    Excluding my house and car, a suit for 1400 quid.

    In my defence, I'm an old-age mod and I didn't buy it on credit. :o

    Bought a €700 pellet gun in Germany, got arrested boarding a plane in Amsterdam (they x-rayed my check-in bag), fined €500, €300 for another flight. It was good.

    I bought a pair of boots..

    They are very high and very nice..

    I couldn't possibly say how much they cost me..

    It hurts too much to remind myself..

    But I do love them.. :)
