I didn't get anything LBC related. But I did get a new Stanley Thermos (the good stainless one), A veggy and rice Steamer, A Food Processor, Another Crockpot, A really nice RCA MP3 player, A portable dvd player, A wireless router, an Atari 2600 lookalike game with something like 50 games built in (nothing like classic 8 bit gaming)... and the only car related thing I got was...

A Mclaren SLR Mercedes!!!!!!!!!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif albeit at 1/25th scale, it won't get driven much. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

What did you get?
 
The usual, plus my son gave me the complete set of James Bond DVD's - don't know if I'll ever have time to watch all that, but it will be fun trying!

He and my mother-in-law gave the wife and me a Garmin GPS mapping thingie. More technology to figure out (but I'm looking forward to playing with that).

Oh... I also got a fancy blender with a spigot... should make for an interesting new years eve - heheheheheh... margarita's, colada's, and daquari's all around. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
 
got the Moss billet MG brake and clutch pedal, and the Paddy Hopkirk gas pedal, a couple of 'brain teaser' puzzles, some old MG badge (I'm gonna have to post a pic of it so i can figure out which MG it came from), t-shirt that says "Your shirt says Princess, but your face says Troll", flannel PJs, home made cookies, and a couple other things that I'm sure I'm forgetting... OH yeah, I also got some stuffed doll type thing that looks like a middle aged "My Buddy" holding onto a mug of beer and remote that burps and **** when you click the remote... That oughta be fun around the office.. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

the pedals /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I got a 1:6 scale Ford 427 SOHC model! But that was the only car related thing I got.

As for GPS, my father-in-law LOVES geocaching (If you don't know what that is, look it up... TONS of fun if you like treasure hunting!) so I hid his present as part of a 6 part multi-cache around his yard before leading him to his present which I had left under the tree all along. It was great! He loved it!

I got a dremel kit a few MG books a detail kit, some clothes and a new pair a shoes. My 13 year old daughter bought me a small black photo album for the TD. My new PC was an early gift about a month ago so I was not expecting much.

Jai Deagan and I geo-cached on the way to and from MG2005...great way to see the country...and some sports that are somewhat off of the beaten path. He's from Michigan, I'm from Illinois....
 
Got a fairly complete but yet compact tool set for the trunk(boot) of the Spider...along with about 5 pairs of flannel "lounge/sleep pants." Someone must be telling me something.....
 
Wife got me a 14" Leather (Mountney) steering wheel for the Midget. Very considerate bearing in mind she is a colossal vegetarian.
Also a Sirius Radio thingy for the BGT and a years worth of listening, and a coffee maker pot machine.
Yes Kenny, I got my daughter an MG shirt!!
 
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif on the shirt - she needed one - hehehehehe.
 
I got several MG books, and a couple of books on antique tractors...the spouse gave me a pub table and four barstools for the barn office....the mom-in-law gave me a small dorm style refrigerator for my office in the basement.

I spent the day alone...and went over to a buddy's house...who has a sandblaster and powdercoat set-up...the attachment is what I made for me....I blasted the battery box cover of the 1968 MGC, then powdercoated it.
 
Oops....here's the attachment....

First Christmas in forever that I didn't get anything car-related! did get Dinner for 2 at Ruth's Chris Steak House; tickets to "The Producers"; great new walking shoes - brown New Balance 603's; new Johnson Murphy dress shoes; Bill O'Reilly's book <u>Culture Warrior</u> & some other stuff....
 
carpet for my TR6. Well, almost. My wife gave me the money to buy the carpet while I have the car apart for painting.

Lovely girl.

I got a battery charger, a halon fire system for the track car and a '61 Corvette. OK, so I had to buy the 'Vette myself, but it is still a Christmas present as far as I'm concerned

Any Vette pictures? Now that's a present!

I got a really nice bench vice from my father-in-law, and a Sears gift card from my Grandmother for some tools. She understands the LBC thing, as her 2nd husband had a beautiful MG TD that she loved to ride in.
