I thought that Travvy had gone to the states. Still the best Pro Street Minor i've ever seen, absolutely blew me away when it first came out - must be 13-14 years ago now 1998-ish?
I proposed to my girlfriend (she said yes - she must be mad), and bought myself a set of 17" MO's and some spotlights.

This year I received the usual jumper etc. with my dad giving me a secondhand Nikon 18-200 VRII lens (it certainly focuses better than my old Kit lens!) for which I was quite grateful! I admit that I may have treated myself too! Whilst that Pug's been a fun steer it is time to move it on so being brave (and maybe wreckless) I went and got one of these: Bar it being a derv (I don't need two uneconomical cars!) with quite a few treats (leather, optional wheels etc.) it is quite nice for a modern. Whether I am a 'true petrolhead' or a fool only time will tell.

Congrats on the fianceé status, Stealthystylz!
Been a lean year for presents for me, but that's fine. Car-wise I landed a bar of carbolic soap (which is stinking the house out nicely), a jewelled black-and-purple dustpan and brush to live in the boot of the car and 21 cupboard door handles that will be converted into a grille for the Polo once the postman magical festive bear delivers them to me. Oh, and earlier this month I bought myself some Ford Corsair rear lights as a present, got them misdelivered to my ex and then forgot to pic them up from him on the 23rd, because I'm a clutz.
Edited for typing errors because clearly I've now had too much food, wine and pina colada to type straight.

I proposed to my girlfriend (she said yes - she must be mad), Congratulations to you both!, I got engaged Christmas day 2004 myself. This is my collection, My first airfix kit!, a car calender which feature some pretty decent stuff, a Look at life DVD about transportation from 1959 to 1969 which looks excellent, a car wash kit. Also a Bigtrax!, Yes that toy from the 80's which everyone wanted has been re-released again, you punch in a 16 digit command and watch it follow your instructions, which is pretty cool and I also got a very nice Canon external flash for my 450D which I'm still learning how to use.

Waterproof thermal gloves for working on the cars plus a set of ratchet spanners ;D And some other non-car related things which were also cool.
