Cool two fly fishing dudes in a row. What models sports cars?
wow,as a former Vietnam sniper,I sure would like to play with that.
Lol,oh that was good.my wife- she loves to shop
Those air cooled turbo Porsche have gone way up in price getting top dollar in auctions.
Reading this thread always makes me want to start another one entitled, "What your job and how do you afford your expensive hobbies?"
Asking for a friend.....
So true. This has been a great thread. I have so many interests in common. Mainly the shooting, watches, fishing and guitars these days. The Porches have always been a dream and I knew those 96s would skyrocket.a lot of things if you don't buy brand new you can sell without a loss, or sometimes even at a profit. So it's not really spending money, just having money held up in different forms. Not very different from having a mortgage on a home.
A bit jealous. My '95 993 was my daily driver until a few months ago, when I purchased a new Forester -- which I believe has the best AWD available -- so I wouldn't have to continue to marginally get by on my snow tires. But it's clear I have never maintained my car as well as you did yours. Between track use (those days are over) and failure to regularly wash (especially corrosive brake dust from my track pads), it's really overdue for a repainting, etc. Or maybe replacement by something like a Cayman GT4, which I've read such good things about.Yeah. Sold my 96 in 2013. Could have sold it for triple what I got for it 2 years later. They have come off in price somewhat in the last year but still very expensive. Funny thing was that I didn’t like it as much as my 03 Turbo and didn’t want to keep both. The 03 is increasing in value now because it has the last of the Mesger engines in it. It’s a fun hobby and certainly qualifies as “ the most expensive hobby I have”

This week it has been boots. Ordered two pairs. Alfred Sargent Cambridge boot in navy and a Crockett & Jones Coniston in roughout leather.
They have a ton of sizes in stock here: https://www.afinepairofshoes.co.uk/products/alfred-sargent-cambridge-navyNice! Love the pebble grain leather. My feet are sadly too short to look good in these boots.

I have a new perspective on fly fishing...I did a fully guided 5 day float trip on the Smith River in MT this past September. I showed up with my boots and waders (and clothes obviously). It was a phenomenal trip and worth every penny. Those people worked their asses off. I’m still in awe of that experience, it was pure luxury.Fly fishing. 9 different rods and reels(orvis, scott, ross, echo, headwaters bamboo). Extra spools, fly lines, waders(simms). Fishing pack full of gear. Fly tying desk full of feathers and fur. All adds up to a lot more than I want my wife to know. And I don't even have a boat....yet.
I have a few pairs of C&J in my collection, very good quality for the price.
Edward Green shoes are amazing, but I'm not convinced that their RTW is worth the price increase from C&J.
Have u tried Edward Green? - another money pit but oh so “worth it”, weakness

Yes have a few EG as well, some of my favorites... But Stefano Bemer and Gaziano & Girling are my current favorites.
For boots I'd add Viberg. More my current style because my suit days are mostly behind me. (Haven't had an office job for the past 6yrs)
Suits are mostly Isaia, Belvest, and Canali (for when I need a more conservative cut)
