Re: Christmas Presents.
Looks like everyone did very well.
I dropped lots of hints about tyres (even providing correct spec and a supplier) and ended up with 4!
My wife did a good job of co-ordinating that one!
Also got a nice wool mop for the polishing machine.

Re: Christmas Presents.
I got a bottle of Old Spice aftershave and a Thorntons chocolate. I don't like the chocolate so I've given it to my old mum and the Old Spice will come in useful as a toilet deodorant or something like that. Christmas - Bah Humbug!
Happy New year to everyone.

Great! I take it that you specified the Dunlop Sport Classics that you posted about a few months ago?Noel wrote:I dropped lots of hints about tyres (even providing correct spec and a supplier) and ended up with 4!

That reminds me......did anybody see that VI Poo advert that was shown before Christmas? The one where it was suggested that it was perfect for giving as a Christmas gift. Can't imagine the recipients would have been too pleased!Paul G wrote: the Old Spice will come in useful as a toilet deodorant or something like that.

Re: Christmas Presents.
Re the tyres: Certainly did get the Dunlops. A nice tyre with a proper period tread pattern.
Nice that people clubbed together to get 'em and my wife co-ordinated it. Very lucky.
Anyone remember the Old Spice Capris from their campaign a few years ago?
I know the Mk1 one ended up with the MK1 Register, and was then sold. There was a Mk3 Old Spice car too, which someone tried to sell through this forum but never heard much more about it.

Re: Christmas Presents.
Didn’t get anything! Luckily, nothing really needed so not complaining.
I did get the old girl all detailed and shiny before Christmas so I suppose that was a present to myself?

Re: Christmas Presents.
My eldest bought me the DVD Corvette Summer, hadn't seen this since I was a kid & really wanted to watch it again. It's a proper car nuts film in all its cheesy '70s glory, loved it. Here's Mark Hamill chasing the bad guys in Las Vegas narrowly missing a nice mk2 which must have been quite new at the time.

The original 1974 Gone in 60 seconds is real 'cheesy' too, but a nice Mach 1 Mustang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK_Ct6zoeeQ

Re: Christmas Presents.
Yes, good car movie, watched this the other day, the whole car chase is on YouTube. Corvette Summer released in 1979, similar car guys film, but with extraandyd wrote: Never seen Corvette Summer.

Apart from Minder, The Professionals and about a dozen War Films, Xmas T/V has been crap IMO.....

Cheers Nick, appreciate your kind wordsFordoholic Nick wrote:
A while back Paul ( pbar ) had posted up a very helpful thread on a supplier of tailored car mats he had seen for himself in the flesh at a show...
( viewtopic.php?f=10&t=51607&hilit=car+mats ) I always trust Paul whenever he gives us a heads up on products and these mats sounded really good. No pics had actually been posted but as Paul had seen samples at a show and commented on the very good quality of them and great value I decided these were the mats for me ! My parents said they would get them for me for Christmas
Chaps they really are superb mats just as Paul had said there were.
Really pleased that you got the mats and are happy with them, excellent.

So no 'indication' you were getting them mate [/quote]
No indication whatsoever
They had a FLASH of inspiration
