So, my birthday approaches once again (it occurs too quickly for my liking these days) and my parents asked me what I would like, shoes, shirts, jumpers etc..

I said, NO.. I'll take the cash please.. because I want to buy something awesome..

In all fairness my kitty will prob' be about £100-ish, but the question is.. what to buy.. what to buy!

I don't really need anything apart from loft re-enforcement, but something cool that no-one understands would be good.. actually I'm thinking a Professional VCR with remote control abilities for my Smoke machine.

I'd like to put the question out, what would you buy.. but lets round the figure up to £1k since £100 is a bit damp.

With Win10 here, the new Skylake processors hitting the shelves along with the Z170 chipset and 1TB SSDs approaching $300 , it's not a bad time to buy a new system or upgrade your existing one.

I'd by myself a nice new RC model plane with good FPV gear. That or a cheap as vintage motorcycle:

Gee, if I could get it for 100 quid I'd surely consider that bike...

No love for the classics? They regularly go for 500 - 1500 bucks depending on condition.

Right now if I get my '97 Kawasaki EX500 urban assault vehicle licensed again, I'll consider myself ahead of the game...
