Santa's Sack. What did you get?

This is the MG related stuff I received:
Pair of brushed door pins, brushed heater and clock rings, brushed vent covers, Renovo Waterproofer, a nice metal MG badge to go on the Tbar between the seats and replace the tacky plastic one that's there at the moment and a packet of stainless steel bolts and washers for under the bonnet.
Thank you Santa.

"MGF and TF" by David Knowles, MG seat belt straps, MS aluminium radiator and SS pipes (last 2 fitted last week by Jon Norris after hose burst...).

Now all I need for New Year is to fix overheating problem after work above! Hoping just air in system, maybe "jiggle" valve (I believe its called) and expansion cap... Fingers and toes crossed!

Amazingly, I didn't get a single Mg related present. :nonod:
Although I did get a very nice swivel head ratchet set 3/8 drive, and 10-23mm sockets for the aforementioned ratchet. :yesnod: I loikes shiny tools I do. :yesnod: :yesnod:
My main present was a Canon photo scanner, noice! :broon: :broon:

Not saying what I got

(sent from my iPad)

I got that book! :broon:

How's about a 'how to' on that? You never know, you might just be right and get lucky. That would be worth sharing.

is that a fitted case for hair dressing supplies? Lovely!

I'll see what I can do! Depends what the weather is like when I get around to it, at in-laws until later in the week... It is different symptoms to the original "steam" which was a split hose (thick angled hose between engine and seats), so I'm hoping the HG is still OK...

Hi David - see "Steam" - I've put my comments in their proper post...

OK...Back to the topic!

I didn't get anything strictly MG related but I did get some seriously cool stuff for Christmas from my lovely wife!
I let on that I had a wish list on E-Bay so she placed her first bid ever on two items, hoping to win one of them.
I am happy to say that she won both! :woohoo: She learned a lesson about bidding and I got some new toys! :thumbsup:
The first was a nice 1:43 scale model of a 2008 McLaren Mercedes Formula One Car.....Signed by Lewis Hamilton

(It's better than it looks here. The sunlight pops on every pore in the perspex cover)
That's a Woo-Hoo right there, but not the best thing I got :ohmy:
The big gift was a helmet signed by 16 current Formula One Drivers and "Celebrities" Everyone from Hamilton to Sebastian Buemi with Bernie's name on there for good measure That's a double Woo-Hoo!! :woohoo: :woohoo:
