Merry Christmas Everyone!

My extra spotlights were my mini pressie but the most interesting one I got was a geode from Brazil. Its a whole amethyst - huge and incredibly heavy - set in the concrete they are removed from the ground in. when I first saw it I thought it was a lump of coal until i turned it around. Quite beautiful. Other than that Santa was very generous to me this year. :D:D:D:D:D

I got the cutest little Mini keyring! Red with a union jack roof, and its own display box.
Just gotta decide whether to put it on my keys, or add it to my Mini shrine under the telly.

I got one of those too, they are from M&S - who also have Scalextric models of several of the current the John Cooper Challenge cars with all the correct decals etc marked down from £27 to £15 in the sale. Like this one

Well I got more than I could have ever dreamed of, Mummy and Daddy got me a huge remote control Mini and my big bro said he got me a set of wheels for the toy and they were in the dinning room.
When I entered the room there was a full set of 17 inch alloys and tyres for my real Mini!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Well, I got a nice new pair of GHD's (don't ask lads, it'll just confuse you!) and lots of shiny stuff and a trampoline, but for once in my life EVER, Rob didn't buy me a new pair of timbys (despite me asking for a baby blue pair!) or anything for my car:( But I'm happy with my lot, cause he's also buying me a new puddy cat who arrives in about 4 weeks!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

The GHD's (good hair day) are straighteners, as Alan said, as he OBVIOUSLY requires them every day due to that unmanageable hair of his!!:p And timbys are the lazy way of typing TIMBERLAND BOOTS!!;) Sheesh, dictionary required for those over 25 (I can still say that for the next few weeks eh Col!!;))

Hey l-n-l:D If you have a choice in what to drive at Knockhill, skip the single seaters (there pants:dead:anyway) and opt for the 'LEGENDS':D They are fantastic:cool: 750cc motorbike engined, 1/5th scale american 50's mowtas:approve: I can promise you will have the most fun ever;) I've done legends and the XR2 engined single seaters and the Legends are ten times better:eek: trust me :p:D:approve:

Yup.. That's the plan!! :D Single seaters look a bit tired, and I've always fancied a go in the Legends after seing them racing a few times over the last couple of seasons :D
