Funny, this time of year I field requests from wealthy kids and their parens looking to "rent a tank" for prom....lol. Needless to say the costs, logistics and insurance requirements end those dreams fast....

Wow, take a tank to a prom. My shotgun on my lap wouldn't be that impactful if a boy dating my daughter showed up in one of those...

I collect guitars and movie props. However, I have been consumed by watches recently and haven't collected anything else.

Wow crazy collection Paladin

I don't really collect anything in isolation or to extreme (perhaps I've gone a bit over the top on watches recently.....) and of course property but that's more of an investment although I've collected a hell of a lot of kitchens and bathrooms over the last 10 years.......

But I do try to collect interesting things as and when I see them so have a few vintage guitars including a 60's Telecaster, a classic British TR6 sports car, a very old BSA air rifle - actually called "The BSA Air Rifle", a very old crystal and brass cased cigar lighter which seems to work on some sort of magnetic coil system, old ivory and gold walking sticks and bull whips, a few victorian oil lamps, crystal vases with silver tops, old mirrors etc etc.... you get the idea My place in London was built in 1851...... but I've had it completely modernised but keeping original features like the fireplaces, doors, brass handles, cornices etc so just have a few items of "age" to add interest.

I've also got a collection of about 10 David Woodlock water colour paintings from the 19th century at my Mother's house as she also likes to collect them

I was Navy for a few years after college....so i will pass on the submarine suggestion....and for the spitfire collecting vintage fighters is waaaay out of my league in terms of $$$ or abilities.

Besides I have to support my Rolex habit and my sailboat racing habit...
