I think you may have overestimated my circumstances.

I thought about this for a bit, a lot of things I have 'spares of' could also come under being a collection - for instance three drum kits and 20+ snare drums, but they not extras, they're a collection as per the watches.

Nearest I have is a spare set of bathroom scales, the extra set being entirely useless as they weren't that accurate hence being replaced with new digital ones. Somehow the old ones haven't been hoofed.

Also have two fridge/freezers, one full height fridge, one full height freezer and a mini wine fridge. All are full.

I have 3 spare Kidneys. They're currently being kept warm inside my children.

I've been reminded by another thread that I've got a bnib OEM Passat 3B windscreen. Why strange? It's heated, an option never available in the UK.

There's an MG TF radiator still in packaging in the garage.

Argh, don't mention those, you'll get me looking at them (and MGFs) and wondering again :lol:
I've managed for years to resist starting a thread asking about them :)

I'll save you the bother, the other half had an F then a TF and they were the most badly built cars I've ever encountered. They were quick enough with the top engine which hers were but it wasn't enough to stop you hating them.

I'd feared that may be the case :(
I thought in your op you were talking about the original TF :D

There's a reason the MX5 sold in massive numbers and the MGF didn't.

I have at least one spare Saab 95 fuel flap, two sets of front discs and front discs for a yeti (and pads), A rocker cover for the 9-5 as well come to think of it and have sadly not owned a Saab for 3 or more years, or indeed a Yeti!

They are more spare parts that I no longer need than a back up for something I do though.
