things you would like to accomplish before you die

- Have a kid
- Direct my werewolf script/film
- Live (or spend considerable time) in New Zealand, Italy and Scotland

 

Just a few from my Bucket List:

Provide both of my daughters with a good college education and the tools to make it on their own - one down, one to go
Own a Ferrari - got that one checked off
Go to the Indy 500 and the Kentucky Derby
See Bruce Springsteen in concert
Take off and land on an aircraft carrier in an F-18.

That last one may take some doing.

 

Not an 18, but this Fchatter got a ride in an F-15...

Those are pretty much identical to mine

 

Cool! Would love to hear more details.

-Compete in the 24 Houres du LeMans
-Own a Ferrari
-Drive the Nurburgring
-Drive a Ferrari cross-country
-Drive faster than 200mph

 

A few that I think of:

-Have a job I enjoy
-Own both a Ferrari and Lambo (at one time)
-Meet a girl worth marrying
-Give my parents grandchildren
-Skydive

The two most important to me are marriage and kids. I'm an only child and my parents are in their 60's so it's deeply deeply important to me.

 

Set considerable times on the Nürburgring.

Drive around the world - in an Enzo or an Exige.

Build the Black House.

 

In a couple of years I'll hopefully be flying jets for the Navy. I can't wait.
Here's the list:
Live in another country for a considerable amount of time: done
Road trip with no plans
Own a Ferrari
Skydive, or better yet, fly in a wing suit
Write a book

 

For myself

Get a private pilots license
Author a book
Find a great lady and get married
Walk my daughter down the isle at her wedding

That last one is still at least 10 years away so i better not kick off just yet.

 

Other than the have a happy family,

- Race one of the 24h race (Le Mans, SPA, Nurburgring or Daytona) in GT Class, preferably in a Ferrari.
- Race for a full season in GT racing (amateur level of course..).
- Play the Piano.
- Fluent in Italian.
- Shark Diving with Great White (in a cage obviously).
- Own an F50 and a Daytona Competizione
- Tour Europe in a Ferrari for a month ( with my best friend or my gf..)
- Drive the US from the East to the West with friends.
- Start a retail brand.

 

Next time you're in my neck of the woods let me know and i'll do my best to get you a ride in a local one........on the streets

 

Own a Ferrari.
Win the WBA heavyweight world title (still got a long ass way to go!).
Compete in the 24 heures du Le Mans with a few of my close friends.
Drive faster than 200mph.
Get married sometime. But she'd have to be pretty special, lol.
Have kids with said wive.
Have a go in any kind of jet. That would be pretty cool.
Make enough money to go and see every GP in one season, with some good tickets.
If I happen to outlive all my close friends (which I doubt) and i've got nothing more to live for (which I doubt) I'd consider a ride in to space. If the rocket blows up it sure is one hell of a way to go, right?

A big fantasy would be to own an Ferrari F1 car, perhaps an earlier V10 one since you dont need 14 people just to start the damn thing (whats the point of having one and not being able to start it up on a sunday morning to annoy the neighbours, unless you invite a whole team of your mechanic buddies? let alone drive it...)

 

I want to own a Ferrari.

That is AWESOME. I am going to New Zealand next month and can't wait to take photos there. Thanks for posting that.

 

So beautiful.

I need to get past my comfort zone and just move there...

 

Get a long-term rental for 2-3 months (I think tourist visa can be 90 days) and feel things out. It's a change of pace that's for sure, even though Auckland is a modern city that reminds me a lot of Seattle. I think about moving [back] there every few days... it's hard to up and move a family trans-Pacific without a solid plan. If I were single I'd just book a flight and make it happen. One of my life goals, per this thread, is to get a place there.

 

Choke the living **** out of some despicable low-life scum bag who really deserves it?? Yeah...tha'll do
