Biggest regret of my life to date is not seeing Nirvana live when I had the chance.

Was about 5 years too young

Would have loved a ringside seat for Mike Tyson vs Trevor Berbick. I was a little too young for the Rumble In The Jungle.

Not seeing Queen or Thin Lizzy live. I had the opportunity but couldn't really afford such luxuries at the time.

Not Seeing an Apollo Saturn V launch live, in person. I'd like to see a Shuttle take off although time might be running out for that too.

Not getting the chance to fly in Concorde.

Getting to talk to my grandfather - he died four months before I was born. We are apparently very alike (even down to the lack of hair).

Never going to a Genesis concert (when they were at their peak both musically and in the innovation of their live shows)

The 1990's IT contracting boom - I came in a few years too late and missed the really big rates.

Being in the position to buy a Corrado VR6 when it was in production. I ended up buying a 6 month-old example for more than they had been brand new.

Edit: Oh, and not meeting Jon Dokic before he died. Obviously. He was an inspiration to us all, dontyouknow

I would loved to have flown on Concord.

I turned down a chance to go to a free Audi driving day at Cadwell as I had no one to go with and couldn't be bothered to drive up there. I missed driving V6 TTs, RS6s and Formula Palmer Audis

I had the pleasure of seeing Thin Lizzy play at Reading Festival in about 1981/2. They were excellent.

Agree about the flying on Concorde, could never justify the expense

Vixpy1 is conspicuous by his absence - are we to assume he has done 'everything'

Every single European Cup triumph for Liverpool!
I wish I had been there this May but I had exams on the day!

I hope I will get another chance very soon!

There isn't much I really regret. Two things which I do though are:

Not buying up cheap property 7 or 8 years ago, and more personally not flying on Concorde.
