What pressies did you get?

[RC18B 911 turbo]

I got a book on Photography, a tin of chocolates, a lot of money, 1/43 diecast 911 GT1, 1/43 RS Spyder in the carbon fibre test colours and the last of the 1/43 front engined model car sets in the country from the Porsche dealerships which I bought myself as a present to myself.

- Haynes Manual on the Supermarine Spitfire (brilliant book not what you would expect)
- Landscape photograher of the year book (AA publishing)
- A book by Richard Meaden on the road circuits you can drive on like Reims/Spa/Nurburgring etc. (again brilliant with forward by Vic Elford) (AA publishing)
- Silk Tie
- Leather wallet thingy for business cards (must have or scan em in, I have so many I loose them precisely 1 week before you need to contact that guy you met 2 years ago)
- Leather meeting A4 pouch thingy, makes me look like an estate agent but crucial for meetings when working at customers sites.
- Arsenal FC polo leisure shirt in navy blue and gold.

The first 3 I asked for but for once I actually got plenty of things I like rather then a big pack of socks.

Well I didn't get anything specifically for the car or anything specifically Porsche but I did get the Led Zepplin Mothership CD that will get played in my 944. '70's/'80's Rock music in an '80's car!! An unbeatable combination.

No more flat battery for me ,my good lady got me a Ctek xs 3600 battery conditioner

Seems to do the job[]

Led Zepplin Mothership is a great album, but there again have they ever done a bad one?

I don't know Jon, I'll let you know when i've had a good chance to listen to it, but so far so good. I'm on a bit of a journey of discovery at the oment going through the 70's rock bands as I was never into them in my youth as my dad was always going on about them which automatically made them old hat and un-cool. With the last 5 yrs or so presenting no decent bands in my view due to the invation of the young talentless pretenders i'm forced to look back in search of good music. Seems like progress is not a philosophy the music industry subscribes to.

No car goodies for me this year [] (apparently I spend enough by myself thank you very much )

I also got The Led Zeppelin Mothership. I can't quite get used to the clear sound with no scratching as all my recent Zeppelin listening has been on old cassettes recorded at least 25 years ago []. I must stress this is because my van only has a cassette player, and the original albums are probably, warped out of existence up in the loft (or the Missus chucked them years ago [8|] )

It was actually my dad that got me into all that sort of music. There's nothing modern that I really can say I like (except Muse) so some of my mates think I'm wierd as I don't like theire dancey music (I use the term music loosely I can recreate the same tune banging my head on a wall) It seems that to be a cool teen nowadays you have to have a poor taste in music and have cars that are hatchbacks that have loud exhuasts and hoofing great stereos and end up slower than they originally were and with far more drag than necassary with bodykits that quite often make the cars look like they have been smashed into a wall. It's funny but I don't seem to have many mates that are my age I seem to get along better with older people I was obviously born in the wrong era.

I'll stop the rant now had a little chav cut me up earlier with all his mates in the car and then decide to get out his car at the next set of lights to have a go at me luckily one of the large chaps who works at the same place as me saw what was going on and managed to get rid of them.
