So does anyone have anything else they drool over?

Wristwatches. My current collection includes a Breitling Wings, a Tag Heuer quartz chrono (forgot the model #), and a 70's vintage Oris automatic.

Cars. I prefer the sporty-yet-luxurious, such as the Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG. Unfortunately the practical side usually prevails when I actually buy a car, so I'm currently rolling in an Audi A3 (cheaper, better gas mileage, and holds more music gear than the Benz). But I still drool over an AMG Benz ...

Shoes. Cole Haan, Johnston & Murphy. Mmmmm.

There is no car sexier than an Aston.
 
Anything that is creatively engineered. I have a pocketknife that folds out sideways.
Also mid 60's XKE convertibles. Possibly the prettiest car ever built.
Also nice legs wearing stilleto heels and black stockings with the seam running up the back. Ideally standing outside an XKE convertible reaching onto the floor for something...

I'd LOVE to see that 70s Oris. I've been drooling over the Oris brand for about 5 years now. After about a year of drooling I finally took the bait and picked up a Williams F1 Day Date. I'm currently drooling over their TT3 Black Chrono, which is strange because I'm not a big Chrono fan. Something about that watch... it's just gorgeous.
I don't know if you've ever checked it out, but the Friends of Oris Forum can give some pretty good deals sometimes.

My current drool-inducing items: camping/trekking/mountaineering gear. I'm really gassing for a pair of the new New Balance MO1000s, but they're too warm for my use as a hiking boot and too light for any climbing. :(
 
What do I drool over?
Wooden boats of the highest quality

This one is actually strip-built, but the traditional Whitehall shape is there

The Scandis aren't so good at runabouts IMHO but they have the cabin-cruiser thing down cold

Poor Orlin (Johnson - the "riding mechanic" on the right of the pic).....by the look on his face, he's probably contemplating just how long it's going to take him to change 96 spark plugs plus retune and sync 8 carbs after the little joyride about to come :p
 
One of my hobbies is beadwork / jewelry making, so going to a good bead shop or bead show with lots and lots of different types of beads, hardware, and so on puts that glint in my eye, especially when I see something new and start getting ideas about how to use said beady bit(s) in new earrings, necklaces, bracelets, keychains, etc.

Cole Haan ftw! I want a porsche design flat six (the Breitling reminded me... I'm not a fan of the Bentley watches though.)

The Audi is okay...since Volkwagen owns it...so its practically a Porsche.
 
Hmm, I've a thing for coats. I'm not particularly bothered by most male fashion, but I'm fairly obsessed with having nice coats. I believe I have around 30 or so on "regular rotation" at the moment.

I also love keeping reptiles, though I'm limiting myself to only the two at the minute until I have more space and time.

....I've a thing for women in leather too, that makes me drool most.
