Y-Max ground anchor for securing my lad's motorbike at his new place.

Should be fun installing it.

Call of Duty - Infinite Warefare for PS4 £14.99, seemed like a good price for new, could probably sell it and make a profit.

A Brand new car, tune in tomorrow ;)

Did you lease it in the end?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Flights for June to visit California.

Flying into San Francisco, spend 3 nights there (stopping at the Marine Club, which is affiliated to the Victory Services Club in London), then driving down to San Diego over 5 days, with stops off at various points along the Coastal Highway with one night in LA, then 4 nights 5 days in San Diego, flying back from there.

Should be fun (me and SWMBO travelling with another couple, so the driving will be shared).

I leased a 2017 Focus ST-Line.

Now waiting for reg number to come through and delivery date.

Up to 38 days of hell until then.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Sorry no, I had been talking to guys at work and several have done it.

Its called a PCP.

You pay a deposit for the car (Ford up to 35% of the cars value.)

Then 36 monthly payments,.

Then at the end you have 3 options, 1. pay the remaining balance, 2. give the car back, 3. they take the value of the car away from what you owe and put that towards a deposit for another car.

The guys at work say they normally contact you after 2 years to see if you want to upgrade, if you do point 3 above applies.

If they have the car you want in stock (in my case Gent in Belgium) it can take up to 38 days, but if the specs you want are not in stock and the car needs building it can longer (I was told upto 4 months)

Italix Parsons Essential with a medium italic nib. Great for fancy writing in birthday or Chrimbo cards.

I have 3 Parker 25's, one dates back to 1983. I used it at school.

When I win the lotto I'll buy one of these for the hell of it.

A snip at £2,550

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Blimey I still have my Parker 25 too, from primary school. We were allowed to use fountain pens as a reward for mastering cursive. It has the aerometric converter and hasn't been inked up for years so I wouldn't fancy trying to fill It without fitting a new one. I think it's the proprietary Parker fitting mind.

Not keen on Montblanc pens mainly because for the price you're getting nothing special in terms of materials. Check out the Namiki Maki-e or Urushi lacquer pens. You're actually getting something precious and unique for your 4 figures and I find that the Jap nibs are far superior on the whole.
