Well it's my splurging time of the year next month, and I thought I'd go with a new vehicle.

I have 3 planes, two of which are under repair and I never have time to do anything with the third. I have 2 boats too, one goes very fast and one has a kitchen, so I really don't need another. Cars would be the next choice, but I already have twenty-three of them spread over the country. Even if we narrowed it down to supercars, I have a quarter of a million dollar Audi parked in Darwin. And I never use it.

Hovercraft are two expensive, and you probably need a special type of license. A motorbike is just a no...though a quad does sound appealing. However, although I know I have too many and there is no logical reason for me to buy one - I want another car. And I want it to be Italian, and fast. In 2006, I bought an 'Italian Audi' - a Lamborghini Gallardo. The Gallardo is a brilliant car, it really is, but mine is very dead and I don't think I want another one.

So I rang up Lamborghini in Sydney to ask about a Murcielago. It looks better than the Gallardo, its faster and its only $600000 but it doesn't speak to me. So then I swung by Ferrari in Brisbane, but every car there looked boring and lifeless. After that, I didn't even waste my time trying to track down a Maserati dealership...so I tried Pagani.

The Pagani Zonda is my dream car, I have driven one once, and it was a life-changing experience. Even though I only drove it around a carpark. Motor Group Australia (the importers for Pagani) told me however that a brand new (customised) Zonda would cost me just under $2m. I have no doubt that the car is worth that, but I do doubt I'd make enough use of it to justify sending myself bankrupt.

So now I don't know what to get - the Lambo, the Zonda or the British Noble M15.

Ideally I'd like something cheapish, fast and Italian. So you never know, I may end up with an Alfa Romeo.
