    " I wish I'd not bought that" thread

    As above, own up now if you've bought something you wish you hadn't?

    I'll start;

    37" LCD TV for our bedroom. wall mounted, looks the part. but........ has never, ever been switched on !! IT's just a friggin' ornament

    My first vodka lemonade. It was the top of a very long, slippery, expensive slope. Still, what can ya do
    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    My first fish tank - it started a very expensive hobby.

    We currently have six tanks going in the house - with another two or three sitting round empty, and a 500 litre one coming for me to try my hand at a marine setup!!! Plus we have an expensive pair of breeding fish in the garage!!!

    My first house 21 years ago. Purchased for £26000, sold a year later for £26000:thumbdown:
    What's the problem with that I hear you ask:confused:
    3 years later it sold for 96k :eek:
    What a muppet. So if I hadn't bought it, I wouldnt have missed out on 70k profit :mad:

    Ha! Bargain! Though 'm surprised no-one's said my wife's engagment ring! Shame you can't mod them as you go along!
    Mods done: None! My VR-4 is factory standard. Planning on restoring her to showroom condition and making the old girl feel young again!

    Ahh yes, the engagement ring brings on a whole new level of getting told no to toys I was told to sell the Legnum several times till I put the wideband in... now she drives it more often than I do!!!
