Post dinner, everyone is asleep so time for a post!

What Christmas gifts related to your car did you get?

I got a Longarcre rear view mirror(14" and mounted it already. Great bit of kit bar having a silly allen key size!

What did everyone else get?

Money towards a full rollcage,so expect a email soon welderman!! :-)

I got a spanner holder, although it will hold many types of tool. It will also hold things in place and if working properly it will find and fetch things. It may even make the coffee. Its my first of this type of tool.

I have to wait a few years before i can get the best out of it as he was only born on wednesday but at a weight of 9lb 4 oz it wont be long before he is big and strong enough

He is called an Oliver

Merry christmas all!

Not car related but my stepson got me a scope for my air rifle, and the rats are going to suffer tomorrow !!

A baby, and at xmas, nice

a change from turkey !!

My Niece is in East Surrey Hospital right now, water s broke, so fingeres crossed

i got a sierra quick rack

i got an inspection light! its proper boo bright!

i got 300 drill bits from 0.4mm up. also got approval to build another kit (exocet) beginning of jan. best of all i got some new clothes so the old ones can now become garage approved and the old garage approved ones are now fit for oily rags.

Caterham radio control car with Judas in it.
A mouse that is car shaped thats very nice


and some bits to make my scalextrix work......which is now setup on the floor and we have had a ball racing it

Pre-ordered my spanner holder, just waiting for delivery (according to the last update we had, the lead time means its still 5 months away). Still not sure if i'm getting the model with slender arms for reaching difficult bolts or the model with more strength for turning them.

For Christmas i got ..... Dave Walker engine management book, how to build a shed book, sheet metal working book, trolley jack (which should mod to mean it will fit under 100mm), rivnuts, rivnut setter, throttle cable thingy, 2 finger less work gloves & not quite car related, Stirling Moss biography.

I got my dad 1m of 25mm en1 steel bar so he can turn me some injector bosses

I got one of the Petrol Head driving experience things from Activity Superstore, I would really appreciate any feedback on these events as there seems to be a lot of negative feedback to be found on the web. The Petrol head one seems to be offering various activities from 3 to 4 minutes in a Lambo or Ferrari to 2 to 3 hours in Karting depending on where in the country I wish to travel.

I am just not sure what I want or if the voucher is worth the money paid, i.e. could one get better value going direct?

Happy Holidays being politically correct, basically happy Christmas!

Adrian

Adrian. I just looked at the site you're talking about an the supercars have Racing School number plates. I had a Ferrari drive at Rockingham with the Racing School and okay it was pretty short, probably 10-15 minutes absolutely tops but it was awesome! I was a bit dubious about being restricted etc. but the instructor was as giddy as me shouting at me to go faster I remember him saying take it easy now because you'r doing 100mph+ out of a corner. You'll love it.

I got some air for my tyres... I'm not sure it's the right stuff, so watch out for it in the FS section in the new-year!

Surely there's no danger of you needing to see what's behind you with your tuned M3 lump?

Nothing car related yet but hoping for Shift-I lights from my folks (seeing them in a few days) - car gadgets are always good :-)
