What did Santa get you for Xmas

[ITA124]

Its Xmas morning here is Aus. Kids off doing their own thing and fasting myself for the mega lunch. Anyway, thought I'd share my pressies

My garage calendar - Look forward to it every year every year.



and some pipe work for the spider

I got gift card to a local restaurant and Fandango, chocolates and 2 bottles of my favorite rum. Nothing Fiat related this year.

Santa knows I love tools and gadgets so 'she' brought me a laser-pointing, infra-red temperature sensing gun.
So far I've only tested it on the dog (24 degress C), the computer screen (34 C) and my feet (25 C) However, I'm sure I'll find more appropriate automotive uses for it, further down the track .

Wonder why we insist on testing our infared temperature guns on dogs, the wall, body parts....lol, Curly!
I was surprised to find one of these at the door on Christmas Eve:


Mine is #19, the same as my Prima Edizione.
I also received a bunch of parts from Midwest Bayless for my X19 racecar project. Ron pulled the car into the shop this week so part of my present from him is his precious time and knowledge to get the thing ready for the track. Dang, I'm a lucky girl!

The Iithograph we received from FIAT on Christmas Eve is by a well-known artist named WIlliam Barras. There were 500 copies made, and each one was signed and numbered according to the serial number of the FIAT 500 Prima Edizione car you have on order. In other words, mine was number 20/500. Really a pretty classy move by FIAT, and I hope an indicator of their approach to service and customer satisfaction.

Santa left me a Craftsman C3 19.2v Impact Wrench.

Hope you all enjoyed your Xmas! I received a hard back book of "The Most Scenic Drives In America"
Gotta get the car together. The kids got me Two 18" shop fans on a dolly like stand for the garage. I'll be cool now in the summer. I've recently purchased so many things the last couple months for the car. Its been like xmas since Thanksgiving.
Everyone take care and be careful if you decide to venture out.

I got a real surprise this morning. 3 uninterupted hours to spend on the Fiat. (insert smiley face....dont ask me how). Sanded fiberglass fitting my custom rockers (insert frowny face...again, dont know how).
Showered and now time for festivities. Merry Christmas y'all.

When you want to insert one of the faces. Just click on them when you want them there and they'll pop on into your sentence.

I got a new black canvas top. Santa's helpers must have picked up a a few subtle clues I left around.

Whole lot funner than socks and a sweater.

Santa wanted my Spiders bedded down correctly for the winter. He left me 2 Sunforce solar battery tenders, a Peak battery minder, a Peak portable power source for jumping dead batteries and a FIAT chocolate bar from Torino Italy. The Sunforce battery tenders attach to the windows in my garage that gets full sun. Already hooked up. Probably no charging tomorrow. We have a Blizzard warning with 50 mph gusts and anywhere from 8 " to 24 " of snow
The snow blower is all gassed up and ready to move snow.

I have a couple of Fiat shirts, so my daughter had a Fiat sweatshirt made for me (it does get cold out here occasionally), Krissy got me much needed door rubber molding, and the family finally joined the 21st century with a 47" LCD tv. Oh, and new underwear! Pictures not to follow.
Ron

Oh, and new underwear! Pictures not to follow.

Too bad Ron. Perhaps we could have used the pic for a calender of fiat owners and their car
Anyway Santa was good here as well. Clothes and a new pair of Sorel snow boots. Funny about that as it was 5 deg. C and sunny on Christmas here. Did get to take the Fiat around the block and change out the leaking intake heater on the FI.
