spill the beans! what did everybody get for Christmas?

Post by steve8462 »

i was blessed with yet another year above the dirt! made it through Christmas without going in the credit card hole for once in a long time! so that was the best gift. once the weather warms up, i'm going to start attaching all the parts to my Spider that i have foraged over the past year while waiting to finish the body work.

it would be awesome to hear what others got, grand or small, maybe spider related.
especially if it involves a loved one coming home from service for the holidays. (those are the best gifts)

My wife picked me up a lockable tool chest about 66" inches high. Spent the last couple days organizing the thing. Had to order metal socket strips today. I never really understood how many sockets I had until I started pulling them all together in the same place. It has opened up a lot od space in the garage. :D :D :D
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

Santa brought me a wiring harness :D
And a GoPro :D :D
And, as much as I have not had time to work on the car these last few months, it paid off with a nice bonus which allowed me to buy engine parts!
It's all about the car, right? :mrgreen:

I ordered the Big Brake kit from Mark for myself.

I had to part with my beloved X1/9 to pay for it though :( At least it has gone to a good home - it's back with the same person I bought it from 9 years ago!

New go pro! I have version 1 but I wanted the wifi control and so on with the newer versions.

Other than that, just a good time with my big, loud Italian family.

I gota pair of 3" electric exhaust cutouts, so I can terrorize people with my ChevyII Nova. The under construction shop will be my bug present, though!

My son-in law bought me a car cover. It was generic for small cars and fits pretty good. Lot's of family fun, I come from a family of 8 children with the associated food and festive partying. Off to the gym this morning so I can keep the weight down as I don't want to slow my spider down !
