My wife and oldest daughter got me just what I wanted.
An extra large 2011 Spridget calendar!!

Anyone else get something Spridget related?
 
Daniel Stapleton's 3rd edition high performance manual was under the tree. Now to see what tricks I've missed(and can afford).
 
New timing light (as recommended here) from my father-in-law. He likes tools just like I do.
 
Got a nice variable speed orbital buffer to keep my new paint job looking good. There was also an understanding that it would have to be used on the other cars as well.
 
My son got me a pneumatic metal cutting saw and my brother bought me a slide hammer kit. Now I can cut out rust and slide out dents.
I guess they think I will be doing a couple more project cars.
 
~QStarz GPS Lap Timer~ for race-Spridget.

Some Stanley bins to organize my nuts, bolts, washers, etc.

A rivet tool.

A set of retrieval tools.
 
Seatbelts for the Bugeye, and a center console for the 67 Sprite!! :banana:
 
A nice framed picture of the car at Mont Tremblant.
 
An original 1975 MG "Fifty Years of Sports Cars" factory poster, as framed and delivered to dealerships back in the day. I found it on Craig's List and my daughter picked it up for me. Probably one of the most sought after pieces of factory art work and I found it down the street from my daughter's house selling for $20.

Sports and Classics is selling one unframed for $149!!

Some VTO wheels from Hap are in route, didn't make it here by Christmas.
 
A unexpected good deal on a used hardtop for the Bugeye, if it works out. Really happy about the deal since cash flow is gone.
 
As previosly mentioned, a large Spridget Calendar. Just opened up yesterday morning and my wife had t obug me and say," Put It Down and open another present." If you haven't ordered one of these and you read this list, you need a calendar. So many pictures.
 
I got the Italian air horn from Griots', and a lowering kit for the rear. Also various clean and shine products from Griot's.

The horn is Loud. Really LOUD. I'm tired of having people not see me, start to move over, me hit the horn, and them to keep coming. I want them to JUMP when I hit that center push. I'm done being polite.

I am with you on that!
 
:iagree: Me too. I already have that horn on the Prefect. Will have to get one for the Sprite when I finally manage to get it built. :cryin:
 
A new set of rings, rod bearings and Payen head gasket. Wasn't a christmas present per se, but I was able to sneak the purchase in while the wife was distracted by the general buying frenzy. Of course, now it is super cold outside for the first time this winter.
 
Not specifically Spridgity but, dremel type (Canadian Tire version) tool, electronic caliper, electronic tire gauge, and, a picnic set (minus basket) for SWMBO and I this summer.
 
I got a factory hardtop for my MK1 Midget.... But Santa delivered it to JP's house. :cryin:
