toyota hilux, decided i wanted one when i was skiing, found one on the net, phoned them asked them to hold it, got back on a saturday morning, drove to iswich in the afternoon, liked it and bought it £15k, did need it though as the vx220 wasn't practical for carrying car parts around

2 12" pioneer subs, 6x9's an amp and wiring kit for my car a few years ago.

I went into town to try and find some wheels, and about £600 later, I ended up with a boot full of speakers

Biggest purchase is my car.

Possibly the most impulsive/bit stupid £150 for a belt.

Biggest - Impreza £12250, although not really impulse as I'd spent almost a year thinking about the Corsas replacement.

Most impulse buys have been quite small in comparison -

Oakley sunglasses - £130 bought them when in the Lakes, saw them bought them.

iPod - £220 - Didn't need one just thought it was time I had one.

PS3 - £280 - Decided it was time to upgrade.

Dell laptop - £1000 - Needed to replace mine so specced this to the max.

About it really

Surely if you plan to buy random things it eliminates the whole randomness factor?

You might want to take it back to the shop. Doesn't seem to be working too well.

Caravan.

Mate was having a party in a farm field, I didn't want to tent it. Loot.com and £1500 later I had a twin axle Coachman VIP on my path.

Fixed it up, used it and it sold for £2200.

Got a habit of buying tickets for shit when I'm drunk and near a computer, think that's how I ended up at TITP the first year. Nothing more extravagant than that.
