All I want for Christmas is ...

Okay, half the day's gone already, but still plenty of time enough for Santa to visit - he gets everywhere don't forget!

This will do for starters, although the bling wheels would have to go ... and the red leather - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mclaren-Shadow-4x4-Mercedes-Sprinter-Motorhome-Conversion-/271355386507?pt=UK_Campers_Caravans_Motorhomes&hash=item3f2e0a9a8b

The drawing right at the bottom of the page would do just nicely.   

What's your wish ... you'll have to hurry, only eight hours left!

I got my wish thank you very much.
Now I own a Merc Uni-Mog.


















Lego of course   

Nice one! In fact that's something Assassin hasn't got, he's only got a real one.   

Two Tom.

Just like bloody buses, you wait for an eternity for one to come along and two come together.

Got my new project also, and it was too good to ignore, and just in time for Christmas.

Little late now but maybe he passing on his return weighed down with:  

A storage drawer system & side draw/flip style cases to go on the wheel arches of my 90. (In black with choice but would settle for silver fronts).

Maybe that Engel/National Luna/Waeco fridge is slowing his progress too. Or could it be that alloy intercooler & larger radiator.

I think that should do for now.
(Failing that is anyone feeling generious on this forum?)  

Sounds as if Assassin did okay, but you definitely missed the midnight deadline Dave, apparently his elves go into hibernation between midnight on Christmas Day and 1st December the following year!

Is that why they say, "Post early for Christmas?"

Dear Santa ...

Dear Santa ...

Oh well, all donations to good home.   

Santa brought me a Storm Kettle.....peachy   

Santa was good to me this year. Can't figure out why. Maybe he confused me with someone else. Anyway, he brought me a bottle of bourbon and a GoPro Hero 3. Thanks Big Fella.  

Oh dear...
I've had to order two u/ j's for the Unimog. I hope Lego has a quick service as I'm stuck

I bet the P&P is more than you'd pay for a complete set of UJ's for a Landy!

That's a bugger mate. Seems a lifetime of debauchery has come back to haunt you. I told you that 10th round of drinks in that Staffs & Shrops pub meet when we first met all those years ago was a bad idea!

mate i confess i am the worlds greatest pie lover..   ..but them days have gone........  .

 

Last time I went down to London I tried to get into Manzes Pie & Mash Shop in Tower Bridge Road, Bermondsey. No chance, it was matchday at The Den (Millwall) so the queue was 30 deep right along the pavement. Could have murdered a double pie, mash and liquor.   

Pukka Kate & Sidney pies, they're also mighty moorish. Mmmmmm!!!!

Back in the 70's me and a friend tryed to open a pie & mash shop in Basildon Essex, was turned down by council, they said it would degrade the town, 2 years or more see they have one now, so looks like the town has gone downhill after all.

The replacements are FREE. Looks like LEGO left the box short. I'll have to wait until about the middle of Jan now.

Yesterday my daughters presented me with a a nice present.


Half a day at Solihull for the factory visit....

You'll enjoy that. I've been on a few now, the first being when the Range Rover wasn't called the Range Rover Classic, it was called the Range Rover. Still with me?

Something new to see every time, as I say, you'll love it.
