"I have been considering a friends 2nd hand Honda car for R50 000... does the price sound alright? I'm clueless in this area"
 
road or mtb?
year and model would be a start
also make sure the size is right for you

Ok i'm gonna try and write out everything as I see it on the bicycle.

Mountain bike. 26". Light frame, aluminum possibly?
GIANT XTC
EN 14766
carbon fibre BBB handle bars
maxxis tubless tyres
disk brakes
shimano slx
recon gold tk
rock shox (on front, might need some work, its a bit bouncy)

How much is it worth?
 
Still a huge debate. Easier ride with 29ers, but slower turn.

I'm quite tall, so the 29" feels better. Could've waited for the 27.5 to be more popular, but I'm loving the 29er ride.
And, I'm still getting used to it, but it doesn't feel that much slower, infact, due to the easier rolling I find I've gotten more confidence so I go places I would normally avoid.
 
Just ordered an Asrock Z77 OC Formula.
Not too extravagant, but still a bit more over the top than I'd usually go.
 
Canon A1 camera with kit 50mm f1.8 (greatest lens ever)
28mm f2.8 lens
looking for a 200mm f2.8 for a reasonable price if anyone has old fd mount lenses they'd be willing to flog

Paillard bolex H8 movie camera with 3 lenses
long expired kodachrome 8mm film

Film is my new obsession
 
Carpet from Coricraft and a new glass kettle.

Love both and happy that I bought it!
 
Went to buy a new case for my iPad and walked out with the new model Nexus 7.

I might even keep it this time, much more polished and usable than the 2012 model.
