You've got $4000 to spend on a product, yes 1 product by 1 company; no services just 1 new product... what is it?

Here's mine: www.nikonusa.com/en/nikon-products/product-archive/dslr-cameras/d800.html

Wow, poor relative - excellent choice! Would complement a pair of quad electrostatics nicely.

Can't beat your pick, but I'd splash on a decent PRS guitar : http://www.theguitarshop.ca/features.php?id=1405

I just purchased my new ride. The mechanic added a 661 helmet and a shock pump to sweeten the deal. With the change I have purchased a decent lock and some spare Maxxis tyres, a box of 10 tubes, a floor pump, and treated my other bike to a shock service, new brake pads and a new XT rear 9 speed cluster and chain.





Winter is looking fun.

Right! So digital photography is a manipulation, but a roland accordeon is the real deal

Actually they probably will. I am a big fan and user of the Roland v-piano and am considering getting the v-drums. These are certain to become classics. The big deal is that with the v-range, the sound is not sampled, but mathematically modelled. For example, the v-piano allows me to specify a 100 meter long grand piano with silver-wound strings, and the sound engine will model it perfectly with no perceivable lag. Don't know about the v-accordeon, but if there were a v-bandoneon, I'd be somewhat interested...

There are enough 'large hills' within 1-2 hours of home to have fun. The trails are pretty much always offshore and cranking

The other benefit is that I can choose to plod along on the bikepaths, particularly during peak hour, as Perth traffic does my head in real quick. Riding in the wind/rain/sun is character building

Omega's are cock & balls (trust u Doc)
I bought an Omega in 1999, and it broke 4 weeks later... funny enough I was in Bali and banged the front at the bottom of a pool.

I thought it was a fake, cos I bought it in HK... but sent it to Swatch, and they wanted ~ what it cost new for repairing... water got inside.

Seiko has always been good to me... and Oris is so far great.

BTW: Panda you're pic looks a little Chinese/Thai made.... look at the crown
