    Every man should own (aside from the obvious)...

    Leaving out the usual and obvious items like a decent watch, pen etc , list only one thing you think every chap should aim to acquire?

    A scar that has a story, a war wound or a shark bite should do it, so much more interesting than cheap and tacky tatoo's.

    The love of his family perhaps.

    Wordly possessions are simply that, you can not take them with you, and they do not bring happiness.

    OK, you can have him. But only after the inevitable and unfortunate promotion to manservant.

    Every man should, at some point, own a NA V8/V10/V12 before the greenies get their way and all 'big' engines have multiple turbos.

    People who say possessions do not bring happiness simply do not know where to shop.

    Neither do you own the love of your family, it is something you receive but never possess.
