Being a fan of the show since a child and the better part of 11 years, I think I have spent way more on merchandise and style clothes than I'd care to admit! :hot::)

 

So, what's the damage?

s1 and s2 DVDs, then upgrade to full series Blu-Ray, four blazers, four linen pants, two sets of shoes, maybe 15 Henleys... guesstimate $600, probably more.

Does my recording equipment/synthesizers  count as “merchandise”? I may be the winner. :)

I just bought my first true pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers as well. So I think we're in a competition here Dadrian :)

An embarrassing amount, but there are far worse things to blow money on.  I have more blazers than anyone should own and they get worn very little.  I have Carrera 5512's and Ray Ban Wayfarers.  A few different sets of the DVD/blu ray collections.  All of the paperback novels from the 80's.  The Scarab I keep at the lake. (just kidding).

I have sold some of my blazers to turn into ... other blazers.  lol  

Don't ask how many tennis racquets I own.  :)

Well I spent just over six figures to buy a white Testarossa so I’m guessing that I am one of the guys who has spent the most on MV nostalgia.  LOL !!

Probably more fashion for me, shoes, pastel coloured chinos, sunglasses. Only merch I have are my bluray boxset and funkopops. Somewhere in the mid-hundreds I guess.

Nobody here owns an actual Ferrari Daytona, unless they have neglected to tell us they have a half a million dollar car in their garage. :)

Must be thinking of a conversion then :) You can get a testarossa for just over £70,000 ("just"!) but the one I saw advertised was yellow I think and you know me, black is the new black!

That's how much they would cost:eek:

Is it because there is a limited amount out there?

They do sound pretty overpriced to me too, RedDragon. Is ANY car worth that much?

Just goes to show some people are not only overpaid (I never rated him) but have more money than  sense!

So you can get a real Testarossa for 70k.

I see it's gone now but yes, I did see one advertised in the UK for just over £70,000- might have had  high mileage though (believe it or not!) I can't remember. That's the trouble with these dear cars, once they start knocking the miles up, repair and maintenance is horribly costly.

Spent on fashion items, especially Season 1 and 2.  Honestly I have no idea of the total price.  A wild guess is under $1000.

No I did not buy another one.  Was just referencing my TR purchase from a couple years ago.

as an update, Testarossa‘s today in very good condition with low miles tend to be about $120,000.

a REAL Ferrari Daytona spider would be 2 to 2 1/2 million US dollars.   Only 122 were ever made worldwide over five years    

Ferrari Daytona replicas , which I spent a long long time trying to find a good one, tend to sell between 20 and $35,000.

unfortunately I never find one in the shape that I wanted it to be in :(
