I got a spanner holder, although it will hold many types of tool. It will also hold things in place and if working properly it will find and fetch
things. It may even make the coffee. Its my first of this type of tool.
I have to wait a few years before i can get the best out of it as he was only born on wednesday but at a weight of 9lb 4 oz it wont be long before he
is big and strong enough
He is called an Oliver
Merry christmas all!

Pre-ordered my spanner holder, just waiting for delivery (according to the last update we had, the lead time means its still 5 months away). Still not
sure if i'm getting the model with slender arms for reaching difficult bolts or the model with more strength for turning them.
For Christmas i got ..... Dave Walker engine management book, how to build a shed book, sheet metal working book, trolley jack (which should mod to
mean it will fit under 100mm), rivnuts, rivnut setter, throttle cable thingy, 2 finger less work gloves & not quite car related, Stirling Moss
biography.
I got my dad 1m of 25mm en1 steel bar so he can turn me some injector bosses

I got one of the Petrol Head driving experience things from Activity Superstore, I would really appreciate any feedback on these events as there seems
to be a lot of negative feedback to be found on the web. The Petrol head one seems to be offering various activities from 3 to 4 minutes in a Lambo
or Ferrari to 2 to 3 hours in Karting depending on where in the country I wish to travel.
I am just not sure what I want or if the voucher is worth the money paid, i.e. could one get better value going direct?
Happy Holidays being politically correct, basically happy Christmas!
Adrian
Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Adrian. I just looked at the site you're talking about an the supercars have Racing School number plates. I had a Ferrari drive at Rockingham
with the Racing School and okay it was pretty short, probably 10-15 minutes absolutely tops but it was awesome! I was a bit dubious about being
restricted etc. but the instructor was as giddy as me shouting at me to go faster I remember him saying take it easy now because you'r doing
100mph+ out of a corner. You'll love it.

Surely there's no danger of you needing to see what's behind you with your tuned M3 lump?
Nothing car related yet but hoping for Shift-I lights from my folks (seeing them in a few days) - car gadgets are always good :-)

done the atom at elvington, was good fun but a proper circuit would have been better. Only done rockingham out of the rest though so cant advise there
- though that was good.
just to add, they dont let you accelerate out of corners (ie fully straight then hit the gas) or carry much speed through them, so you want to pick a
course with some good straights, as it does accelerate like grease shite off a shovel.
