[Closed] What have you bought recently that's pretty cool?

[img] [/img]

Always wanted a 'nice' watch. I got left some money in my grandma's will so thought I would treat myself. It will always be a reminder of them 🙂

Burton Freebird split board & GoPro Hero3. Both still making me smile

Well after watching the documentary on BBC1 last night, what I really want is a penguin! Or 2. Preferably a Rockhopper one with the funky ears.

They're proving quite difficult to source though

[img] [/img]

3 alnico magnet high output single coils on my strat, made it sound like a new guitar, brilliant! And surprisingly cheap.

Nilox Foolish HD camera (go pro type thing) RRP is £200 with lcd back screen, waterproof cases, mounts and best of all an alignment lazer 😉

Burton Freebird split board

A splitboard is still currently top of my shopping list 🙂

Caravan

Olympus E-420 for my wife. Yes it's old in camera terms at least, but it's only three actual years old. It was in perfect condition, it's brilliant to handle and use because it's so small but perfectly formed, and she loves it 🙂 And it was only £120!

A Garmin Edge 500. Now I feel like a Pro, shame I can’t ride like one. But chuffed to bits with it.

This week...

GoPro Hero Black, Chest mount, spare batteries and spare 32Gb cards. 🙂
Troy Lee Beanie... It's cool when its on my head. 😉

I want that QuadCopter! and a Rockhopper Penguin! Or I might just sit and watch Farce of the Penguins.

Binners, have a little Opus:

Best. Penguin. Eva. Innit?

this week,
carradice bike luggage
mayhem waterproof
schwalbe touring tyres
sks 700 x 65mm mudguards

The North Face Nimble Jacket - great lightweight jacket, wanted one for ages and picked it up as a bargain

Arcteryx Merino Beanie - fleecy round the ears but thin wool on top so its warm but not too hot

Both great bits of kit that I make look decidedly uncool when I put them on

It gooood 🙂

Rarely has a power tool made such great noises whilst inserting screws with ease.

Our new car. Can't wait to get out on some proper adventures with the mrs and tribe, with all the outdoor gear actually fitting in the back. Bikes/tents/scooters/picnics/bodyboards the works!!

I bought a Garmin 310XT. It's awesome.

Other than that, I've not bought much recently

Also a [url= http://www.cyclesurgery.com/pws/UniqueProductKey.ice?ProductID=CSUG0173OO ]Sugoi Zap[/url] jacket in bright orange for commuting. Last commuting jacket I bought was a Nike for £15 off Ebay and it lasted a good 10 years. So hope this sexy number serves me as well.
(it was £10 off the price shown)

I bought a house.

HTN4 entry
Yamaha THR10
Fender Jap Strat used off ebay

Blimey, some nice kit mentioned already.

Quite fancy a GoPro 3 but heard too many bad experiences.

That a57 looks nice but can't justify the cost 🙁

the silver thing on the left was xmas present to self...

bob, WTF is that furry alien werefly with technicolour wings?

Well not bought, exactly, but acquired (given):

A 2004 VW Polo SDI Twist.

Doesn't sound cool, I know, but I have driven a T4 for the last 8 years, and getting behind the wheel of an impeccable little run-around is a hell of a lot of fun.

7 x 5 Ping pong table
Ear plug kit that I used to make some customised ear phones and they are brilliant.

Blender!

Healthy eating made super easy and tasty.
I thought a good set of kitchen knifes was my best buy until I picked up the blender. I'm a convert. Thinking up all sorts of funky meals..

Recent splurge was a Samsung Galaxy Tab2, the mini version. Shiny. 🙂

Might buy a Brompton at the weekend.

MK808 Android Stick. Pretty damn awesome piece of kit. You can even use an xbox 360 controller on it 0_o.

I bought myself a jig for making custom stems:

Probably doesn't count as "cool" except in my head.

[Norman Lovett]I walked to the Spar at the end of the road for a bottle of milk this morning. It was pretty cool out, so was the bottle of milk. [\Norman Lovett]

On the gadget front: an Oregon 550 which is ace!

Ticket to the viewing floor of the tallest building in Hong Kong, Sky 100, lift takes you up a 100 floors in one go in sixty seconds and the view, the view was something else!

If you ever lucky enough to visit Hong Kong, do it twice once during the day and once as the sun sets, you will not be disappointed 😉

Bought the white one

[IMG] [/IMG]

Treacle

[img] [/img]

One like this for Katie to learn in and then Abigale

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]we bought the black one to keep the brown one out of mischief, except the black one is learning new tricks...should've got an old dog!

Rab Generator vest - not sure why I bought it as I'm not a big fan of gilets, but sooooo glad i did. it's small, not big puffy down thing and wears easily under a cardy or jacket and it packs down into it's own pocket. toasty.

2 first class train tickets from Milan to Paris for £75 (for both). Not bought yet but will be soon - 2 tickets on the Bernina Express

Maddie, a 5 yo slightly mental border collie - no pics.

bit sad, but one of these
[img] [/img]
Karcher dont even advertise it as capable of doing your car. I just have and it's brilliant. I guess they want to get you to spend much more than the £80 that this one cost. Bloody ace, and even gets Herefordshire Clag-o-gunk off.

also one of these. Smaller than my normal saw for lighter work in the coppice. A bargin for £150.
[img] [/img]

I've just bought one of these...

[img] [/img]

It has magic powers, and renders me indestructible

2x tickets to the Italian f1 GP. 🙂

Just the one, Binbins?
[img] [/img]
The red hat really suits you, by the way.

Well, perhaps it's not AWESOMELY cool, but after 12 years of living with it's 32" Phillips monster two-ton predecessor, it sure feels like it...

[img] [/img]

One of these, stealthy huh?

Some mini eggs

Not cool, actually very hot. One of these to be fitted in three weeks time

[img] [/img]

Bencooper, that [i]is[/i] the coolest thing on this thread 😉

@franksinatra - I always wonder how much time they spend getting exactly the right pieces of wood/logs for the marketing shots.. mine nver looks like that, generally just a tatty mess of bark bits and ash! just in time for spring eh?

Not quite as easy as ordering something on Amazon but £60 well spent 😀

Its a bit free and lose with the definition of the word cool but its a 5 speed gearbox and bellhousing to upgrade my kitcar so that its not revving its nuts off at motorway speeds...

[img] [/img]

just in time for spring eh?

Yep. Can guarentee that the warm weather will arrive on 11 March this year, they day our stove is fitted. We will then have a nice stove sat unused for 6 months or so until winter comes round again. 🙄

Good woork McMooter. I'm sure lots of fellow STWers were, like me, geting a bit concerned that you may have been running low on firewood......

One of these, The wife insisted that whatever I bought you had to be able to just put a cd in and play it if you wanted to. I'ts pretty good, a lot better than the Brennan as it's got a web interface for editing and it's got internet radio. It will also stream to Sonos units or you can use more of these without a hard drive.

I bought one of these:
