Santa's Sack. What did you get?

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 bis 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 McLaren Mercedes Formula One Car.....Signed by Lewis Hamilton
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:

OMG, I am so jealous! :omg: :omg: :yesnod:

David, I am so thrilled. Anita normally doesn't get me what I want as I tend to be too specific. The stroke of genius was making the E-Bay wish list.
I am not the only one in our household to score big this weekend. My future Son-in-Law mentioned to his boss that it was a shame that the boss's Porsche Carrera Cabrio 4S had been sitting in the yard without being driven for the last couple of months.
The boss threw him the keys and said "Take it for the weekend." It's been here for the last couple of days and the level of paranoia has risen greatly with such an expensive car in the driveway. Tomorrow we are going to take it out and see what it will do. (For the good of the car of course...An Italian tune-up will be good for it after sittng for so long-Really! :woohoo: )

Nice that they match isn't it!
Of course having sports cars and a white helmet meant digging out the "I am the Stig" shirt!

I genuinely believe that the better looking car is the F. :yesnod:

I agree. I was surprised how large and rotund the 911 is compared to the MGF. It looks best in profile. We have the Porsche tucked away in the carport with the MG behind it and I was struck how big it was when I parked close behind it.
By the way...The electric hood mechanism tends to stick half way up! :lol:

NOM, NOM, NOM

MGF and TF book by David Knowles

The only MG related gift I got was an MOT fail sheet on Friday for the ZS for poor hand brake, 1 worn front pad and a split CV boot, all things I was expecting but even so

The only motor related presents were a copy of Classic Car Mechanics from Father Christmas and a remote control helicoptor from Mrs TC, now that is fun. :bust:

And I did win on the Euro-millions draw on Friday. :woohoo:

When you say win, was it a win , a win, or a WIN?

Ah, mate. You must have been gutted when you got that home and realised somebody had scribbled all over it.

Good pressies there.

I never got anything MG related, but I did get this iPad. :woohoo:

I got some hair clippers. Not sure if that's related or not?

It's the second win I've had on the lottery ever and is slightly smaller than the first win which was £10.
