Nostalgia......what one thing would you buy again?

[stevenb]

Ahhh the memories......I have been day dreaming today....looking back on things I used to own or have done.
My holiday in Gran Canaria with my ex.....was fantastic.

Toys and games I had as a kid.....
previous cars Ive owned.....

If you could buy back just one thing you've had beit a car, holiday, gift etc etc....what would it be?

I think mine would be a Toyota MR2 mk1 I owned....in stunning condition....I sold it for way less than I should have done....I really miss it...:?:

i had an old carbon steel nishiki road bike that i bought for $50cdn and bought back over. it got some ott upgrades such as look pedals and cinelli bars and stem, but ended up getting left in the shed when we moved house (having been neglected for many years :?.

would have made a good hack bike.

My pro BMX flatland-esque bike I had when I was a nipper, around when I was 8-10 I think. I loved that bike and used to do long rides on it when I got bored of doing tricks. I don't know what happened to it but I'd love to have it back - (and, let's face it, I'd look a bit of a pratt buying one now).

The phone number of a leggy blonde I wrote on the back of a fag packet in The Red Lion in Ilford in about 1971.

I got pissed and lost the bloody thing.

Trouble with nostalgia is...it a'int what it used to be!:?:

 

[Rhythm Thief]

My first Citroen 2CV, with multicoloured panels, cutaway wings and doors, mud tyres and the spare wheel mounted on the bonnet. It looked (and went off road) like a little Land Rover. Took me all over the country, and bits of Europe, in the early 1990s.
Mind you, as my signature shows I don't go in for nostalgia much!

Hmm....

Possibly the car I passed my driving test in, although technically it wouldn't be a re-purchase as it was owned by my dad. But it does have sentimental value.

Edit: going right back to childhood...
A Tressy doll..

I do. My older sister had some canockers [ooo...err]. The modern-day versions have plastic sticks joining the handle to the 2 balls, but where's the skill in that?

and, yes, the old version really hurt your hand if you didnt get it right.
