    Well it's that time of year when everyone asks what they can get you for Christmas, so after a week of head scratching there are a pair of half smoke rear lamps in Santa's sleigh for me from my good lady, and following closely behind it (due to overactive browsing while strictly was on)
    Is the trackslag exhaust that I've been hankering after for ages.

    So what's on your letter to Father Christmas?

    Well, I asked for a set of rods for the 20v but the response was “I’m not spending £200 on 4 bits of metal”

    And I’ve been wanting a drone for aggessss, a Mavic Air came up 20 minutes away from me super cheap and almost brand new. So I bought it, and that’s my Christmas present from my other half. Otherwise, that’s probably it.

    I'll be treating myself... As usual... The single life.

    The RallyKa needs mapping and painting, that might be the treat!

    Can’t complain!

    I’ll treat myself to some engine parts and maybe some sheet metal to finish my boot floor off, if I run out that is

    Feeling a bit sad, so I treated myself to some wheel bearings and hub flanges.

    Turn your frown, Upside-down.... And buy some car parts.
    Works for me!

    I'm still loving the small Milwaukee impact gun I got recently, I can see myself getting a cordless ratchet next.

    The exhaust is from me to me, big treat.
    We both had no idea, not into gadgets or gizmos, Allie asked for a donkey, a sponsor adoption thing, not having an actual seaside special in the back garden obviously.

    Talking of Christmas, we put out tree up yesterday. I had to cut about 300mm of the base so it would stand up but it still touches the ceiling.

    I've just blown 4k on having my gearbox replaced (not the Golf) so to quote Alan Rickman, Christmas is cancelled! :p

    Been thinking for awhile to fit a boost gauge in a vent pod - so ordered both only now to decide I have gone off the idea!!

    I did exactly this in my old car. I fitted it, then went, I don’t like that at all
