I can't afford all these things Although would be nice to experience at least once. I guess the only luxury I allow myself is good coffee.

If you could afford this car and could operate it, wouldn't you offer me a ride? It's a single seater. And no trunk

Okay, if it was a double seater...

Sure. Might even let you take the stick. (That's aviator talk)

100 carat diamond sells for $22 million Posted: Apr 22, 2015 6:37 AM EDT NEW YORK (AP) - A "perfect" 100-carat diamond in a classic emerald-cut has sold for just over $22 million at auction. The internally flawless D color stone is the only classic emerald-cut white diamond of the highest color and clarity and over 100 carats to come to auction, according to Sotheby's. The final price on Tuesday night was $22,090,000, including the buyer's premium. The diamond was mined in southern Africa within the last 10 years and weighed over 200 carats before it was cut and polished, the auction house said. The presale estimate had been between $19 million and $25 million. The record for any jewel is $46 million for a 24.78-carat emerald-cut pink diamond, set at Sotheby's in 2010. This would make a great girl's best friend...

I'm lucky these days that I can afford a lot of things that I couldn't buy when I was raising my oldest son, but that diamond is a wee bit out of my price bracket! Gonna settle for the Audi R8, that I'll be picking up next week from the dealership in Edinburgh. That's my treat to myself, but I'll get my missus something very nice too though, I always do!
