We all know mine,
Laser garage door opener and a radar detector and the looms to connect up to the B2.

Along with a new filofax (Very Nice)

For some reason people have been buying me "boxes". A box so the wife can put sewing stuff in (Bleugh) and a desk tidy box thing for letters (Even worse), both of them were the last cack on the shelf at TK maxx.

I got some great CD's and one of the best pressies was a pistonheads keyring - Just1 you are a genius, I really wanted one! Thanks to you and the good DR!

I got a Sony hard disk video recorder/DVD burner thing. It's great! I was going to go shopping for a new LCD television anyway so now I have the perfect excuse.

Hmmm... always meant to replace that stereo, too...

Also received clarksons latest DVD...twice!
And a lovely 1:25 scale yellow S2 111s which is about as close
as I'm going to get to owning an elise in the near future!
I've reverted back to childhood, pushing it round the floor making "vroom vroom" noises!
Hours of fun!

* Some nice Floris Aftershave (v posh, cheers Mumsy!)
* A Panini grill (top marks to the Doris)
* Some new Vic Firth drumsticks
* A T-Shirt
* A chinese tea set (pot & mugs)
* Half a snowboard (aka cashola from the old man)
* A bottle of Balvenie from the doris' parents

...oh yeah and I bought myself a Drumkit. Let's ROCK!

One of these, I was dubious at first but great fun as the ground floor of the house is all wooden floored.

Clarkson DVD - and that's it. The kids cost me a fortune this year. My wife claimed the Tom Tom one I bought her was "not a present". Anyway, the ohlins suspension that will be going on in Jan is a present (from me to me).

And a buzzer for the door of the Lotus to tell me when I’ve left the lights on.

Nothing car related!!
The nearest I got was missing half an engine and 2 wheels!... but it does have a big Ducati badge!!!!!!

Just1, well up for a big valet session. Just got back from the annual cornwall trip and the car is filthy... even by my standards! So I'll drop it round later in the week. If you can have it ready for me after work?!

Likewise, I've been coveting these for months.

Also a great handbag from my sister, some excellent books (Brookmyre and Tom Holt), earrings, and an electronic pressure gauge.

I got one as well. To go with the one I have in the garage. To be fair the new one is the "carlos fandango" model with all the trimmings. So Anyone need a digital tyre pressure guage? It is a "tchaibo" cheapo digital jobbie, that I have never used!
