Selfish spoiled indulgence only, am sure we all deserve it 🙂

1. I'd employ a team from Smiths to recreate these epic long-gone snacks (from the original menu)

2. Commission a completely re-built BMW M72 w/electric motor, high tech battery, USB out, tank-mounted large touch-screen GPS preloaded with entire OS map range.

3. Commission someone to re-manufacture the now defunct classic Pro-Action £15 'Tiger Paws' 'Argos special' tent, albeit with a few mods such as tensioning improvements and extended porch-flap w/eyelets for walking pole.

4. Underground library/mancave built into an old ROC bunker at a discreet location in the South Hams.

1, a nice mild to my taste I reckon. Somewhere between a 777 and a Pressed Rat and Warthog.

2, drifter bars. The perfect confectionery bar and rarely seen now.

3, a run of lightweight xc kids frames so mtb parents can unload their spare parts bins and make awesome kids bikes without compromise.( I suppose this one doesn't count as trivial)

*Edit: BMW R71, even.

Hover board

Well if we're doing sci-fi then my R71will have 'fly' mode, naturally (Hagrid wink)

I mostly failed on the 'trivial' side, as thinking about it I could seriously utilise these whimsical resurrections, bar the crisps.

Not much imagination here given "endless" funds. Where's the Dr. Evil Island?

Would you regard a Dr. Evil island to be trivial or did you not read the question?

I'd buy the Caledonian Brewery and turn Deuchars IPA back into the nectar it once was.

A private ski resort with a hyperloop transit system to connect it to my beach house.

Pound coins, it will help keep the endless funds coming in.

The Big house around the corner with the long drive. Complete refurb with small scale pump/dirtjump/DH venue in the garden. Conveyor belt uplift and a nice big shed at the top with toilets and a bar.

I'd put an observatory on the house.

A lair - there's a nice local industrial building for sale that's big enough for my car collection and the innovation business I want to create. So that with some nice offices and a den.

Custom BAC Mono
Singer 911
KAD 16V 970S motor on a 5 speed box in my first car which I'd buy back.
One of these

And my own tiny 10 or 13" wheel electric/hybrid single seat "fun" car less than 500kgs with 2 direct(ish) drive motors and torque vectoring in a package no bigger than a mk1 mini.

After that no idea. 😀

More stuff than I ought to think about.

Now back to the real world. 😆
