Does the warm weather bring out the daydreamer in you, or is that just what it does to me? Well either way it goes, before you interrupted I was imagining myself sitting on the beach, my umbrella drink in my right hand, checking the time on my Rolex before jumping in my Corvette and heading off to take my next flying lesson. Have I lost you? Let me spell it out for you...

Rolex Day-Date II

Nothing says affluence like the new Day-Date II from Rolex. It is big and boastful and guaranteed to get itself some attention wherever it goes. The Day-Date II is the new generation from the Day-Date collection; it is 41mm in size and is available in platinum, 18ct yellow, white or everose gold. www.rolex.com.

Corvette 2008 Convertible

Both the inside and out of the Corvette 2008 Convertible will take your breath away. The thought of this contraption parked in my garage is enough to send me into daydream overdrive. The corvette comes with a 6.2L V8 aluminum-block power plant standard engine which means its packing 430 horsepower into such a neat frame. There is also built in Active Handling which means that the Corvette will compare the driver steering input with the actual vehicle response and adjust itself if necessary. www.corvette-europe.com

Flying Lessons

Forget about keeping up with the Jones', how about keeping up with the Travolta's? By that, I mean cutting out traffic as we know it and hitting the friendly skies as a pilot. To qualify as a commercial pilot you have to have a minimum total time of 200 hrs; which could set you back a pretty penny. www.fly-pit.co.uk offers a 3 day introduction Jet Orientation course for 1,580 UK pounds so you can test the waters before you commit your life savings.


Maybe your budget doesn't stretch to be able to afford all of the above, perhaps you can't even afford one of the above, but there's no harm in dreaming is there?
