...so if you could have anything back (materialistic) that you sold / swapped / destroyed, what would it be? What do you miss the most?

My Mum & Dad bought me on of these for my birthday one year when I was about 12;

Dad spent ages building it for me and when he finished it, it was mint. He did such a good paint job on it too. I played with it every day and polished it all the while the batteries were charging up!

Then a few years later I stupidly swapped it for a go-kart with some mates. I wish I still had that truck, because my Dad built it and it was awesome. Buying another (even a rare un-built kit) wouldn't cut it at all.
 
I would get back all the data that I lost with my old webhost, due to a communication "error" I lost all of my older websites and other random info.
 
I had a Grasshopper II radio controlled car, it was amazing :) Really want it again. Can't find any pics of the original, they seemed to have re-made it in 2005 but looks a bit different.

Second to that would be my Amiga 500 and games.

my old Sega Megadrive, and all the games, sold it for pittance to buy a PC, and it was the most appauling thing ever, .116gHz processor, 2Gb HDD, 256 RAM

could just about store Windows, and 1 game demo :/
 
My first car, loved it put a lot of work into it. Even though it was a genric astra it had a lot of character.

If it wasn't crashed it would be supporting about 200~bhp and full GSI kit right now.
 
I wish I'd not chucked out the obscure "Pong" console I had in the mid-70s. It sat in a trunk for a good 20 years before it was finally disposed of, and it wasn't all that long afterwards that I realised it would have become a bit of collector's item.
 
My Amstrad CPC464.
So I bought one from eBay 7 weeks ago. Not quite the same as mine, but I do love it :).
Just need another 100 or so games and a Joystick!

I originally sold it to buy a portable TV for an Amiga 600 I was getting for christmas.
 
Right now I wish I hadn't sold my previous 40" Sony LCD TV as I'm about to move out and could do with that size TV for the Bedroom, ah well gives me an excuse to go get an LED :p
