Somewhat in response to the "before you die" thread, what have you already achieved or what unique or high points have you already encountered that will make for a good story for posterity?

Mine: (not great in the big scheme of things, but still cool I think)
- Top 150 mph
- Hit a lion in the face with a gobstopper
- Approach a wild male moose
- Picture with 24 of Le Mans winner (Rocky).
- Pick up a car with my own hands (MG)
 
Read this thread wrong completely, therefore revised list:

-Own a wicked-cool looking figurine. (Ordered it last week. It's coming in probably by the end of this month.)

-Own a pair of Quality Headphones.

I'm so materialistic.

Let's see.....
-"Bury the speedo Needle" in a car
-Own an Italian sports car
-Get a car sideways
That's all I can think of.
 
Italian sports car? Very nice! Do tell us the model, if you will.

Mine is not so impressive:

-Play on a U19 lacrosse team at 15 (2 assists in my first game...playing defense :D)

-Hit a game winning basketball shot in front of my whole school.

-Start on a conference championship winning basketball team.

-Have the cheerleaders make up a specialized cheer with my name in it, very nice ;).

-Visit the old Yankee Stadium (and have the Yankees win while I watched :)).

-Visit Fenway Park (and have the Red Sox lose :D).

I think it was left blank with the intention of saying "I don't care which model it is, as long as its Italian, fast and gorgeous."
 
I figured that as well, I was just curious :).
 
That defeats the object then if he has not done it already.

I have:
Done the Goodwood FoS

14'000ft skydive.
Live in the furthest place on earth away from London.
See a shooting star, seen many actually.
Own a bar/ tea house.
Climb a high mountain.
Visit a tropical paradise island.

All of these things I've done in the last 7 or so years.
If I can find time I want to travel to Hong Kong for a few days next month and meet Kaz and race with him on GT.

That would be sweet meeting Kaz lol, you speak Japanese?
 
I don't speak Japanese, no, but in my experience body language does most of the talking........:bowdown::bowdown:

I've got colleagues who can speak Japanese but I'm not paying for their tickets if I do go!
 
Still working on the sex-while-flying-an-airplane thing, but I think that sounds pretty exciting.
 
Is that the requirement of the Mile High Club that nobody knows about? :lol:

Did you read that thread? I don't remember if you posted in it, but it was hilarious. "Half the cake will be covered in gold dust, the other half is left over from last year." "I bought him a Skyline, he threw it aside with the rest." The last was from Omnis' brain, I believe.

I see what did you did there, nice.:lol:👍

I must have missed that thread. The guy was given a GTR for creating the display panel graphics and owns 2 ford GTs, no wonder he turns up his nose at a Skyline!
