Dear (Motoring) Santa... - PoloGirl
What's on your motoring related Christmas lists this year then?

Mine:

New VW Mudflaps for Polo, preferably with some way of permanently injuring the next person who steals them. (Alternatively a new house with garage, but that might be stretching Santa's budget a bit.)

Tiny pink twinkly lights for use somewhere on the car - maybe on the dashboard like Kit from nightrider. (I *might* be joking.)

Richard Hammond in a little Stocking, minus wife and kids.

Polo himself will be getting his 80,000 mile service, door lock and window sorted and MOT for Christmas, lucky boy!

Well, I quite fancy the TomTom Go satellite navigation system... Hope Santa is reading this!

When I wrote a Dear Santa letter requesting an HP2210 PDA with SysOn Chip CF 256MB Xtrac II receiver, TomTom Nav 3, and Brodit car mount specifically for a right hand drive V70, he wrote back to say "Huh? What does all that mean?", so I bought it myself! ;-)

Hope you have more luck with TomTom Go!

One of the little Patentlies has been fussing for some time that he wants a Scalextric or similar. So that is him, me, his grandpa and two uncles all sorted in one go, then.

Good lad. Well trained.

As for me, well the Guards Red GT3* that NW recently linked to would be nice, but I dare say that various fluids and creams for the current model are more likely.

PU - If Santa obliges, can I drop by sometime soon? Please?

Some folks say that I am high-maintenance, but it's troubling to learn that a Porch needs to pamper itself with retinol-laden moisturisers. Does it go wrinkly without?

For myself, I'll have a local car-share scheme as my pressie. Preferably sharing cars which ain't going to demand their own skincare regime :)

Cars that are loved are just like women that are loved. They need constant attention, they get miffed if you ignore them for any length of time, they need a constant supply of difficult-to-understand products, and they are a steady drain on one's finances. And, just as with women, for some strange reason men think it's worth it.

At least I can take the Porsche out and give it a good thrashing. ;-)

Surely you would be generous at Christmas and let a few of us drive on this motorway.
Dear (Motoring) Santa... - Robbie
M5


A whole motorway just for yourself?

I think that's stretching it a tad.

I can't claim all of it but.....

In the early 70's when I was a young lad I worked for a time as a buyer for the company who were constructing three sections of the M5 from Gordano near Bristol to Taunton.

Prior to opening to the public it was possible for the staff to take a drive over those three sections of the M5 with no other traffic except the odd Caterpillar / JCB.

Cider was 1 shilling ( 5p for you youngsters) a pint and my girlfriends Mum ran a pub ... Happy Days.

Well I hope she is your ex girlfriend, fancy making you pay for your cider!

I used to boycott reliability - I had a Yugo

The reason for my slogan is my last car - an Alfa 156. Absolutely diabolical. But I'd better just leave it there or the mods will start editing me!

but presumably, at some time, you get to go fast and/or look stylish, and i defy anybody on the planet to do either in a Yugo 45 !!

Very much ex girlfriend after she caught me with another young lady... but thats another story and nothing to do with motoring.

Came back from Somerset to London and met SWMBO and now been married over 30 years- exchanged the cider for Wincarnis and Werthers....

All three. The BM for maxing it on the motorway and the tank to fight off the enviromentalists/law enforcement agencies and general do gooders who would begrudge a man some fun.

I'd like a Reliant Robin with an engine transplant - a Lister-Petter single-cylinder industrial diesel. Also with neon lights underneath and a heavy duty roof rack.

Cheers. SS
