LET'S SEE SOME OF YOUR OTHER TOYS

Wow that game station is the coolest thing I have seen!

 

Is that a Logitech G25 wheel? If so, how is it? do you use the clutch at all?..

 

Yes it's a G25. The pedals and shifter are all setup just right. Pedals are angled inside. Very comfortable.
It's got a 5.1 surround sytem built in as well. The seat is a Recaro.
It was actually designed off of FIA blueprints. It's a touch bigger to house all the peripherials and seat.

That thing is nice. Can you hook that up to at PS2 or 3 and play gran tursimo.

 

What materials did you use and would you share your blueprints with us so we might build our own? What F1 game software are you using for the simulation? I’ve been out of touch with computer games and all but I would defiantly open my wallet to buy it. It would be cool to see pictures of the construction of the F1 Ferrari simulator.

it's one of paul allen's boats, he has one that is larger. It's got a submarine that comes out of the bottom alla james bond movie.

 

I knew it! It's what I was thinking. They are both state of the art!

 

The big one is named Octopus, is it not?

 

Correct

 

It was, think it is now owned by Roman Abramovich - called the Grand Bleu

 

Trax you are right, I also heard that Roman Abramovich picked that up he also owns a few more 300' + yachts. I have been on many yachts up to 200' and they are huge with a crew of say 150' say 15-17 crew - 200' crew of 17 -20 crew, one of these monsters takes a crew of up to 50 and is silly huge. A good rule of thumb is also the "ship" costs about 10% per year based on the purchase price to maintain, in Grand Bleu's case that must be a cool 10-15 million per year.

I believe it was in Nantucket last summer, right next to "Georgia" which I think is the largest sailboat in the world.

 

And isnt he in the process of building a 300 million Euro boat now

I just read it in a European mag.

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhh........what it would be like to have money.
All I want is Sharks, with fricken laser beams attached to their heads.
Thats all I want.

For a cool 500k you can charter the Maltese Falcon - 289.1 ft / 88 for a week, not including tip, food, booze, and fuel. Its 288' long, cost about 130 million - a guy from Russia after it was delivered walked up to Tom Perkins the owner and offered him 260 million cash - Tom Perkins said no. The Russian is currently building one larger at Perini. Many of these boats have the equivalent of an Enzo, F50, F40, and 288 GTO on them in toys - Not to mention some of the art on them.

I hate to say it but that was what I was thinking...not because I am smart, but because I watched a show on VH1 about bada$$ boats

 

I love that show! The Fabulous Life of... everything! haha, those are the best.

LOL! That's Brian Hall, a local here in Toledo. That was at the Topeka Nationals some years back.

Here's my Wife & I in one of our cars (see next post for others).

Unfortunately, all I have are other toys...

My blk (supercharged 1999) M Rdstr couldn't make the first two (2) shots, it's parked on the driveway (it shows up in the third & fourth shots). My wife's X5 4.4 is just visible on the left side of the garage.

The Healey is a 1957, all the other M Rdstrs are S-54 versions (2001). Only the gray one is mine, the other two (2) were being worked on.

The red car (2000 M Rdstr) in the next two (2) shots is the current project.

Edit: I forgot one; the 1961 McCulloch R1 go-kart (my throwback to childhood...).
