 in full HD on forza 3 ltd edition which my lad got ,,,, and sorry to say i wrecked  them both  ;)

No 131 related presents for me this year I'm afraid but I did get a few gifts of cash which will no doubt be spent on car related products  :)

Before Christmas I did treat myself to a few however. Still waiting on one to arrive ;)

No 131 pressies....just the usual socks/boxers and aftershave  :(

Why is it that when you hint that you'd like something car related girls just roll their eyes  ::)
but when they hint at wanting something naff like Cheryl Coles book your expected to be all enthusiastic and agreeable........arrgh!  :D

 :)
I was surprised when I got a driving day experience in a Ferrari does anyone know if Donnington Park circuit is finished yet......here I come

Nice present - Steve (P) has had an interesting track day experience in both a Ferrari and a Lambo, both on the same day. Don't forget to take some photos and tell us all about it. This is on my "to do" list one day!  :)

I had the enclosed items - The first bought on impulse because my sister needed an idea of what to get me..

The second item (s) I also bought on behalf of a relative in the expectation that I will one day get a Fiat 132 - A pair of brand new bumpers - These were a bargain at ?60 the pair whereas single bumpers are currently on sale at prices ranging from ?99 to ?250! :) They are not perfect but are much better than the ones I've seen on most of the 132s that I've considered so far.  :)

Bargain. They would look nice on my 132 2000 8)

Unfortunately not. Well, Laura disagrees. She said that she bought me a GPS navigator because of 3MA10. I was traveling at Sweden few months ago and I threw my old GPS out of a window in middle of the motorway. This just because it went broke and was showing that I am traveling few hundred meters out of a road - I wasn't.

This new GPS seems to be quite nice although it has a speech disorder with letter R.  :D :D :D

i got some nice 131 presents, oil cooler, leather seat belt & recivers covers front & rear & 2 nice abarth badges for the c pillars maby?

I didn't get anything 131 related but I have just received a huge :o (and I mean huge ::)) Corporation Tax bill for my business from my accountant which needs to be paid before the 1st Jan, so that's a nice Christmas present ::) Oh well, I knew it was coming so just as well I have set aside for it ;)

I did get a Micro Scalextric set from my good lady wife though, and a Quantum of Solace set at that so I get a nice black Alfa 159 3.2 JTS Q4 to race against my (or should that be James's ;D) black Aston Martin DBS. Just a shame that they are 1:64 scale and made of plastic :D. Wonder when I'll get 5 mins to set it up  ??? ::)

Nothing 131 related from her indoors. ;)
 As ive been non stop buying 131 parts since Oct. If she saw the bill's she would not be happy  ;D ;D . And im not finished yet  ;D ;D
Still to find the perfect set of 131 Sport doors. And i will  !!!.
Did get the full Life on mars dvd set and full Ashes to Ashes dvd set  with other decent stuf.

cool dvds those, bolly is some bird! whats wrong with your doors can they not be repaired? took me a long time to get my doors but i now have 2 new ones,
shame you arent nearer i could repair your doors thats what i do "welding or rust" for my sins.

Sid.
 Im only accross the water as im on the west coast and one of the shortest routes from Scotland as the crow fly's.
I even speak Gaidhlig be it scots not Irish but its more or less the same.
Re Doors ... They are really not bad at all im bein fussy i have just got it into my head im going to find a near mint set.

if you send me pics sometime good close ups & i can assess the rot, honestly i can repair them for you properly, & they will be better than new ones.

Might just do that.
Will send you  detailed pictures when weather gets better as existing garage width is tight but doors are actually not that bad.
But a good tidy up would be cheaper.
I just know there are good doors out there somewhere ............

 found this for your set simon
