One thing mentioned on the Spitfire thread got me thinking about what I'd love to do before I die (not in the last few weeks but so I've enough years to savour and enjoy the moment / experience... If money wasnt an option and you could choose three things what would they be?
(1) Learn how to Fly ... Have always been into flying and would love to get behind the cockpit myself, although because of cost, using the Flight Sim on my PC from time to time is as close as I can get.
(2) Round the World Road Trip ... Yeah I love my travelling and despite wanting to fly would love to get in a Car and see the world from the ground
(3) Really want to go see the Tour de France ... Managed to catch it when it started in London a few years back with the stage ending in Canterbury but would love to hire a Camper-van and follow it round for the three weeks, watching stages up Mount Ventoux etc.

2 - Drive an F1 car from the 70's (a McLaren M23 will do)
3 - A toss up between going to a World Cup final or the Indy 500.
2 - Europe road trip. A couple of months in a Camper Van with my Girlfriend going from city to city.
3 - Heli-skiing. To be dumped out of a helicopter and to ski tracks that have never been touched before, despite the risks, would be amazing.

Be wealthy enough to support my family without stressing and without being away working all the time. (Mortgage free would be nice!)you said if money wasn't an issue... I'd love to own a mansion with my own custom race track to drive a fleet of super cars around.3 Visit Australia, New Zealand, America, Canada, Hawaii & The Maldives in a round the world trip.
Sorry they're a bit boring.
I'm after the simple things as it's those that potentially make you happiest.
2. I'd like to go into space and see the Earth in all it's glory. Once again as money is no issue, the spaceship would be amazing and I could cruise across to explore the rest of the solar system too (and it'd be fast too, none of this decades to get to pluto malarkey).
3. Train to solo parachute jump and fly in a wingsuit and be able to do this any time I want.
I have been greedy, but i'm in a dreamland where money is no issue...
Edit: wrong type of bucket, note to self.. Read thread before commenting

Lesson 1 - Get in the cockpit, not behind it.
See the 31 year man live up to expectation and actually complete a whole season of fixtures, rather than letting the family name down and only doing 48 games as he did last season
Get a reply from Katrien inviting me onto the executive team in recognition of my contributions over the last few months

2. Follow either a Lions tour or an Ashes tour in Australia.

Once you get past 35 it starts to get harder...... "Kids - hold on to your hats. We are off on holiday to Iowa this year!!"
I think Ud need the American lottery for that
Meet my mum and dad.
See my brothers and sisters that know nothing of me.
Live the rest of my life HAPPY.
2) Harley Davidson road trip across America.
3) To know my children are happy and I've been able to provide them all with a good start in life.
2) Buy Millwall
3) Close it down
Just looked at some of the Stadiums and as someone who has done a Road Trip around the country it would be just as great to combine No (1) and (2) of your list... If you did decide to, let me know, would be happy to give some tips
