Things you almost bought

[Ianonabike]

I can't believe this was nearly an impulse buy. Spotted in an antiques shop. Had a nice heft to it. Only 18 quid.

Probably would've freaked my wife out, but that's what sheds are for.

When I was 15 I saved up and bought a full size pool table. Got it delivered to my house and erected in my bedroom.
I could barely walk around it and certainly couldn’t have played properly.
Fortunately my parents convinced me to return it. I got a full refund, but the delivery driver was annoyed.

 

[Reynard]

A black tortoiseshell oriental cat.

Did all the paperwork (GCCF transfer & microchip), and then when I went to pick the cat up a week later, the breeders had changed their mind. Two years later, they are still ghosting me.

I'd love a full sized pool table. Would require moving house though.

Similar, I had a 6x3 snooker table in my bedroom, I cut down one of the cues for when the cue ball was against the cushion.

A WW2 Hand Cranked Air Raid Siren when I was a student, I'm sure it would have been fine lol.

 

[Oldhippy]

I seriously considered an American WWII halftrack armoured vehicle once.

 

[TheDoctor]

An Alfa Romeo Giulietta (sp?) as my first car. A closer inspection revealed a strip of spray-painted gaffer tape holding the windscreen in. I ended up getting a Skoda, and I'm still not 100% convinced I made the right call.

 

[Drago]

An Alvis Stalwart.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

I very nearly bought a bike once.

Totally wild, I know!

That would be my lottery win house, a house with a snooker room/bar.

But as I don't play the lottery it's not likely to happen.
