    +1 on the remote control car. Never got one that didn't have a stupid wire from the controller to the car. Then one Xmas, I got one. It was a cool truck that could jump and everything. Couldn't open it up quick enough. Batteried it up and went to play..... It didn't f*ckin work!!! Brought it back to Smiths and they had none. Ended up swapping it for something that was not a reote control jumoing truck!!! Childhood dream was a failure.

    Other than that I always wanted a camcorder. Never got one. Then got older and realised that everyone looks stupid on video, just acting the eejit, so I just bought myself a nice fancy DSLR camera and I will take many a pretty picture of my friends before they can act all stupid and try and do flips and hurt themselves. We're 25 not 15 anymore, we can't do flips without ripping some muscle assunder!!!

    Always wanted a remote control car. Guys used to race theirs up and down the halls in primary school.

    Closest I got was a truck (as in a long heavy goods truck) with the controls attached by a 6 foot cable)

    How pathetic would I have looked running up and down the hall chasing this bloody truck on the end of the cable!!!!!!!

    I always envied the other kids in their expensive FX Rollerblades, I could only have the cheap pair with the plastic wheels

    I spent 95 punt of my 110 confo money on Bauer FX1's. They were sh1t fast. They hadn't got grind plates they were for pure speed. Noone could beat me in a race. I was a wuss when it came to jumps and grinds though. I think one of my niece's has them now. so they're still going 14 years later.

    I always wanted a Batmobile or the Turtles van.

    Still, I had Scalextric to keep me happy :D

    Apparently when I was about 10 I told my parents that when I grew up I would buy a home with bay windows!! :confused:

    At the age of 30 I bought a house here in England...it has bay windows! :eek:

    I don't even remember saying that or what was so special about bay windows but it really must have seeded itself in my mind. Scary.

    Always wanted to stay up late and watch TV. Sunday nights I was allowed to watch londons burning til 10. I remember thinking I cant wait to be an adult and stay up as late as I want. Now its the complete opposite, the earlier I get into bed the better

    Funny how roles reverse. My nephew's at an age where he thinks it's not only fantastic to stay up late but somehow admirable. "I was up until 1 o'clock on Saturday", says he proudly. I was up until ****ing two last night with a list of **** I had to have done before going to bed :mad:



    But anyway......

    For me it's always been a GT40. Increasingly rare and expensive you're probably looking at 200k sterling for a starting point. One day. One day....
