Default What car related Christmas presents are you getting / giving this year?

Let us know what you're planning on getting yourself / you know someone is getting you this year, or what you're giving to another car nut. Only car related stuff.



I'm getting a leather console lid with the red XR stitching, front lower grill insert for my BA and a Kincrome torque wrench

Wife and I are putting money together to get a Kincrome roll cabinet and chest. I get the roll cab and she wants the chest to put all her jewellery in. Can't argue with that.

My wife refuses to buy me anything to do with my car or anything with a ford logo.
I'm hoping she's giving me a divorce. Actually I might keep her...she said you can buy that stuff yourself...that's permission for a supercharger right?!

Not sure what the missus has bought me but I got her a set of number plates. For her birthday I got her a STi rear wing.

She's getting more car stuff than me at present (but I don't need anything).

T3 TS50 hopefully. Was in the driveway last year on Christmas day but didn't see it for much after that. Fingers crossed Santa has been talking to the wonderful people at the NSW RTA to have it back in time.

Im in the middle east over christmas, but before I left. My folks were kind enough to do christmas early.

I was lucky enough to be given a 1/8 scale XY GT-HO Phase 3 model. I sat and stared at it for a few hours on the day before I left, and I know that everytime I look at it, the little flame inside will grow and grow before too long I'll have to make that model into a garage filling reality.
