Wishlist: what we want this week
From the world's best record player to the most insane underwater drone, we've got you covered
Driving your own snowmobile no longer needs to be a boyhood dream because Charles Bombardier is making it a reality in the form of the epic Whitefox Snowmobile. This incredible concept (for now) vehicle is going to be powered by a unique 165 hp Rotax 850 E-Tec engine and in relative terms promise to be fairly light at under 65 stone (excluding passengers). With room for four passengers, power steering and pop-down wheels, the Whitefox promises not only to be one of the most stylish bits of kit out there, but also a seriously functional one, too. When this comes on the market you’re not going to want to miss out, trust us.
New year, new year – right? If there’s one thing that’s going to motivate you to dust off the cobwebs and get back in the gym or on a run, it’s decent kit. Trainers are the perfect starting point and will help push you in the right direction. It’s no secret that Nike create some of the best (and best-looking) gear around, and the Air Zoom Vomero are specifically designed to propel you mile after mile, thanks to the ultra-responsive design of the sole.
If you’ve got close to £1 million in the bank, you have to get this. As one of the most iconic cars Mercedes has ever made, this piece of automotive genius is guaranteed to set you above and beyond the crowd. The Gullwing is unique in many ways, but this particular model especially so because it’s only ever had one owner, a late aviation pilot. It’s been relatively untouched since 1976, apart from being started every time the owner returned home from service. Save a couple of features such as a thermometer and a couple of other features that were fitted by the owner, the car is in near perfect original condition – and could be yours.
Coming together in one of the coolest collaborations of the last year is Taylor Morris and The Morgan Motor Company, and it’s one that makes sense; as Taylor Morris’ first foray into collaborations, it made sense to go for something that has the same sensibilities and eccentricities about them. As one of their most popular pairs, the polarised lenses with leather and metal detailing H.F.S (aptly name after the founder of Morgan Motors) work perfectly for any gentleman looking to make a statement this season.
Last year, vinyl took over digital sales. A resurgence is happening, gentlemen, and one of the best investments you can make this year is a decent record player. The brand historically has a meticulous attention to detail and their first audio offering is no exception. Built in America using US parts and designed with serious style and sophistication in mind, we guarantee this will be the stand-out piece in your home this year.
Make this the year that you officially start documenting your holidays – properly. This insane underwater drone is perfect for capturing everything that life under the sea promises and will elevate your videos to the next level instantly. If you’re on board a boat, chuck this beauty into the sea and have the powers of nature delivered straight to your phone. Forget cheap underwater cameras, this is what you need this year.
