the *things i want to own* thread

so this is about things you want to own once in your life.

of course it would be nice to own sega for example, but lets keep it a little bit realistic.

i would like to own an original gibson les paul :icon_bigg (alphagamer signature model would be a plus :dance

also i would like to own a fullsize snooker table :thumbsup: (i could buy a used one from my snooker club, but i lack the space to actually put and play it)

 

1967 Ford Mustang GT500

 

i see, good taste in cars :thumbsup:

 

There are several things i'd love to own as follows.

Cars:
Ferrari 288GTO
Merc 190E
BMW M3 (the older E30 one)
Any alfa romeo


Gaming:
A small arcade business
Every console excluding rare, bundles game versions, specials ...etc.
Console hardware specific items like posters, bookelets, cd's.....etc

 

Fiesta XR2 1985 model in black with less than 20,000 on the clock.

Neo Geo AES with a complete KOF collection.

 

Guitar custom made by Hugh Manson, for Matt Bellamy of Muse. It has an internal sustainer kit, an internal Fuzz Factory, killswitch, and to top it all off an internally installed Korg Kaoss Pad KP2. Ive also seem ones with an internal proximity wah ( google it if youve never heard of one, fucking amazing) A guitar built like this costs at least 5000 USD, which ill never be able to afford:crying:. At any rate, i cant help but fire huge loads in my pants everytime i look at one.:icon_bigg

EDIT: If i got one it would be blue instead of red. Also, heres a vid of the Kaoss Pad in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN8RBqW4JsQ&feature=channel_page Although this isnt the best example, he usually uses it for random improv bits during songs, if you look for the HAARP version of Supermassive Black Hole, he does a whole Kaoss Pad solo!!

 

A computer good enough to run Crysis at a 2560 x 1600 resolution at the maximum settings.

Not just for Crysis, just a gaming PC generally that awesome. lol. Im not even sure if computers can do that on current hardware now. They probably can, but they'd cost like $5000.

Other than that, um, a house of my own and my own internet connection. :lol: I already sorta own some land, I might build on that one of these days.

 

A mother fuckin' boat, and fly it to the moon somehow :lol:

On a more serious note, there's so much stuff I wouldn't even know where to begin with. Keeping it down to the ground uhmm, probably an N64 full set, including DD stuff, and a Panny Q :love2:

 

Not much...

A Mark 1 Toyota MR2 Supercharger in red in perfect condition.

A couple of arcades, Ace Driver - Victory Lap deluxe (Namco), Drivers Eyes (Namco), Super Bug (Atari), Turbo (Sega), Super Monaco GP deluxe (Sega), Pole Position II (Namco), TX-1 V8 (Tatsumi), Super Speed Racer GP-V (Taito), Virtua Racing deluxe (Sega), WEC Le-Mans deluxe(Konami)

 

Im rather fortunate as quite a few of the "i really want" items i ended up getting. Cost me a fortune & i had to save like mad but they were worth it.

Twilight zone pinball table
Sony Aibo ERS7
Yamaha Tenori-on

Stuff id like to have if i could would be mainly arcade stuff.

A 20" japanese candy cab (probably an astro city) with rainbow islands inside.
Samba de amigo ver 2000
Para para paradise 2nd mix
Pop n music 13
Taiko no tatsujin 12

Sadly i can only dream as they won't fit through the doors where i live.

 

Synesthesia Mandala drum pad. Velocity and location sensitive, and it comes with something like 3GB of Ludwig Black Beauty snare samples. I won't be able to play with an acoustic set for awhile (living location), so this is the next best thing. Danny Carey of Tool uses around eight of them across his set (although he has prototypes of the more expensive one that has a MIDI output).

Too bad I'm broke.

 

Drumset!

 

GT40 in gulf colours




Ducati 916sps foggy rep - finding 1 that hasnt be thrashed to within an inch of its life aint easy.

 

I feel your pain bro, lol:lol:

 

.....:crying:

 

my next purchase will be an MV Agusta F4 :dance:

my only problem is how i can afford one AND go to japan again this fall.. :shrug:

 

Eh. Eleanor. It's OK, but there are better - better Mustangs and better cars than the Mustang. I'd prefer to see some thought put into the model choice than quote it out of a film ;-)

I could make one of them for WAAAAY cheaper. The Kaoss Pad is a gimmick, it isn't much good TBH. Yes, I've used one.

hehehe ;-)

My friend is thinking about selling his Mk. 1 MR2. He said it's a shame I don't drive or he'd take me to get a new car and have me drive it back. We're going to France in it next week. As for the arcades, most of those are doable for a reasonable price.

Hmm, USB with no MIDI? That's a toy! Especially for the price of the cheap one. Get a V-Drum, they're good. And as they're MIDI, you can get them to do all that crap via MIDI and software (or a drum controller).

 

Yes the kaoss pad is gimmicky, but i like it ( Ive used one also, although it wasnt installed internally). How much is WAAAAY cheaper?????:icon_bigg and for that matter, would you build one if i can afford the price you say??

 

I want that car:

 

I'd really like my own house. Completely paid for, 100% mine. Nothing special, just a decent sized 4 bedroom house with a garage in a nice pleasant area. Somewhere nice for my kids to grow up. I'm fed up of renting this poxy little house and being surrounded by common thieving antisocial chavs and all sorts of other dodgy mateys.

Other than that, I suppose a really nice condition Set 5.24 Katana dev box would be nice. Preferably with Geist Force sat on the HDD so I can release the damn thing.

One thing I definitely will have though is Issue 1 of Ninja Turtles signed by Peter and Kevin. The first print run in May '84 consisted of only 3000 copies. It will be mine....
