my missus bought me the 170A welder that optimus primer had f/s recently.
i bought her a mk2 polo so she can have a lil standard runaround and not be scared of dinging any of my motors.

Absolutely nothing to do with cars of any kind ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) . My family refuses to partake in my habit, can't says that I blame them either...I never keep any of my cars for very long ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Socks, sweater, oat-fudge, and I made my grandma smile by telling her that I'll be proposing to my girlfriend this coming spring.

Got some of that Haynes stuff - a wallet, a water bottle and a nice mug with a Bay Window camper on. Got a massive surprise when my wife asked me to show her something in the Corrado and she'd left me a Raleigh Burner in the boot! ;D Naturally I've already torn it apart and started modificating it...

Oh...I also possibly found a 60's Ford Cortina at a local 'classic car' dealership/junk pile. This is significant because they didn't import very many.... Perhaps an 'after-xmas' gift for myself on the way ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) .

Cool book about 70's Car magazines (with some nice ladieezzz in it), big set of metric ratchet spanners and a few other nice bits.
I too recieved one of those little toy helicopters - and then got given another, bigger one - about 45cm long instead of 12. Pulled out one of my old models, a 1/25th scale Type 90 tank which shoots 6mm ballbearings. Hard to get the elevation sometimes, but those helicopters make mighty great moving targets!
Hours of fun!
