Round two....spent most of the day with the in-laws, so more prezzies including a GORGEOUS book on British Bikes (if I can afford it this year I'm gonna take my bike test before I'm too old), Jools Holland's new autobiography and even more chocolate (I'll be easy to spot at the RR Awards Night, just look for the 37 stone blob).
Oh and I had the new updated version of Roger's Profanisaurus (cheers Dad) so expect more thinly-disguised smut from Damaged Towers in 2008. ;D

A Facel Vega HK500.
Only joking!
BUT - did get a great DVD of '60s sports car racing from TopTaff, as well as a great book about a bloke driving around the UK in his Capri Cabaret meeting showbiz entertainers - not the top-flight ones mind, more the working mens' club type.

Merry xmas all. Didnt get too much retro related. But I did get the new Top gear album which has some decent songs on. Got a 16 ton hydraulic pipe bender from the wife. A booster pack of my uncle. Plus I bought myself an early xmas present a few weeks ago, a 40amp plasma cutter which can cut upto 1/2" plate

£30 and a pair of socks I can beat that. I got some fudge thats it As my ex-wife decided her new husband wouldn't like it if she bought pressies for the kids to give me I ended up with Sweet FA. No doubt she bought stuff for the kids to give to her husband though

Me too, just taken it back as it didn't work, hopefully the new one will. No more starting handle for me!
I also got a PPC subscription, very chuffed with the t-shirt it came with. Also got a creative zen as I ran over my last one. Now if i had the time i could get on with welding the moggy up.

What's christmas?
Seriously, it's funny how the one hobby I've had consistently for over 30 years gets overlooked by bloody everyone! But I did get enough money to get a four door old car sorted, hopefully in time for the RR awards night on the 8th Jan - gulp!
