The season of "Bah Humbug" is upon us again! (they've just turned the xmas lights on up town!) so, after dropping "subtle" hints, what car-related pressies do you:
a) hope to receive this year?
b)realise you WILL receive
or...
c) wonder what went wrong as you open "another" pair of Socks?
Me? - I suppose i'll get a card with a picture of a car on it - to remind me what chrimbo morning valeting used to be about whilst the Turkey cooked!
may I be the first to offer seasons greetings to all - "Humbug!"

Oh for pitys sake - It get earlier every year < grumble > < moan >

Indeed it gets earlier!
I saw on SKY today Phil Taylor turning on the Chrimbo lights somewhere...
Pressie wise, it doesn't matter what I get.
If it is a tool, it will end up lost or 'borrowed' by mid february.
This morning I was fixing the gate, which had jumped off its track in the wind, and damned if I didn't have at least half a dozen each of 12 and 14 sockets, PLUS 12 and 14 spanners... but NO 3s whatsoever!
Eventually found an old socket somewhere THEN had to find the neccessary drive for it.
My father, who has received countless toolkits over the years, always borrows my bits and pieces, and then swears blind they are HIS when I want them back.
Humbug indeed!
If it car care kit, it will get used ONCE, then back to the stuff I've always used in the past. (Unless its autoglym or something similar)
automotive knickknacks - forget it. Ever got into a car which has been in the tropical sun all day which contains an air freshener? Yopu end up reeking of the stuff, and fighting off nausea.
I once received one of those beaded carseat covers. Ended up with my bum looking like a golfball.

How about one of these in your stocking.

give me a Tranny-van
What's a Tranny-van ?
Is that like a Citroen Berlingo or FIAT Doblo that can be a van if it has metal in the side panels and a car if it has glass ?

Dear Santa,
Could you please arrange for me to win the lottery before Christmas? I don't need a great deal but sufficient funds to buy the following would be nice.......
- A largish desert island but with a cabin and fresh water supply
- Weekly deliveries of Rum and steak
- A hammock
- A Bowler Wildcat and a private petrol bowser
I'll see to everything else
Thank You
Humphrey

Not as impossible as you might think, Humphrey.
See
www.caribbeanislandbrokers.com/islands-for-sale/Da...e
for only £300,000 odd.

Certainly on the right lines Dipstick. Could maybe do with a bit more room for the Wildcat but wouldn't want to be picky. Makes the long term prospect of a serviced retirement flat and clapped out Nissan Micra look a bit less of an ambition eh ?

I'd like a scirocco, someone to pay me out of the last 18 months of the Golf's lease and a house with a driveway to wash the car on, instead of a flat with a car park.
If I can't have that, I'd like this: www.firebox.com/product/2103/The-A-Team-RC-Van
Any top gear fans out there would like Hammond's new book. I was given it for my birthday and it's very funny.
