Your lockdown purchases.
Your lockdown purchases.
With the money I'm not spending going to the pub or on fuel I've bought a sculpture and I'm currently browsing Boxsters... This is not going to end well.

Re: Your lockdown purchases.
1) Canon 90D
2) new lens for said camera
3) new number plate holders to get rid of the shonky Mustang ones
4) some door hinges, I fixed some gates with them
5) camera bag for new camera
6) Tamiya RC car kit + accessories to complete the kit
7) shit loads of beer and gin
8) MacBook Pro 16”
9) BBQ utensil stand (hand made)
10) BBQ grilling tray x2 (two different types)
11) couple of camera accessories
12) 10m HDMI cable so I can turn the TV into a work monitor
13) re-stocked and re-placed some of the car cleaning stuff
14) some music
15) various random bits like a long extension lead to keep the car batteries charged in situ and replacement batteries for stuff
I think that’s about it. It’s basically all the stuff I’ve put off buying until I have had the time to work from home so I can be in to receive them I’ve also built a pond and done a shit load of DIY jobs around the house, I’m now limited by the builders merchants being shut, which means the Tamiya can be built slowly over the next few weeks

DO IT!
I’ve got a few people to dig out their old Tamiyas and get them going again.

Re: Your lockdown purchases.
I've also been looking at a Tamiya Grasshopper, purely for the boy's amusement, of course. Like the Meccano that just arrived.
Haven't bought much, a few tools that failed to get my troublesome bolt off. A sewing machine for the wife (at her request, I'll clarify). Some charcoal.

And it would be lovely to annoy the hateful neighbours. I did enjoy stripping and rebuilding my Escort Cosworth many times.Orange Cola wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 9:25 pm DO IT!

Re: Your lockdown purchases.
Tools, car parts, bike parts.
Absolutely no change to my normal pattern !

Re: Your lockdown purchases.
Some adventure bike boots, on sale at 30% off, relative bargain considering their usual price.
Kriega pouch to protect my tablet on trips (and cos I'm a Kriega junkie)
Analogue tyre pressure gauge - cos I'm sick of faffing with the pen version, and don't trust the cheapo one on the footpump.
Otherwise I've been pretty sensible, saved hundreds last month, to offset the increased utility bills that will be coming.

Re: Your lockdown purchases.
Mostly bought things to entertain the kids, tools, new WiFi kit, and bunk beds.
Will order replacement car seats tomorrow as our car should be back later in the week. Not really splashed on anything I wouldn't have bought anyway.

20" Meinl Byzance Vintage Trash Crash
14x5" Rogers Dynasonic
14x7" Dunnett Classic Titanium

Ohlins shocks for the car from a friend and scored a spare set of Sachs dampers too.

I still have the super shot, rough rider, super astute and fox on my list but I’ve run out of shelf space and haven’t run the top force I built a couple of years ago.
I’m waiting for my new bike to arrive and finished the build of my daughters new bike so got a few parts in, thought my new bike was extravagant but it appears I’m just fitting in with the norm.
