So what did your garage get ?

Very impressed with a tyre rack from Lidl, didn't expect it, looks very useful........

.......also one of those Black n Decker "shifters" that have been on TV a lot, not sure about that one tbh looks a bit flimsy and not up to job, will put it to the test and report back.......

Thats what i did last year with the hoover, im hoping for a new heater, but most of the un-rapped present look like socks and smellies.

But i have got a pipercross sausage filter for a Kawasaki ZX10 engine. Dont know how santa new to bring me one.

I am at work today so no pressies yet
But I do know what my wife has bought me, a toolstation8.
Featured on the gadget show it has loads of battery power tools which charge all together plus converts to a saw table and pillar drill
Shame that the MotaLeira is nearly finished!

Santa came early for me this year

Portamig 185 (with an Y of Argoshield light and an Y of Argon)
Evolution Rage2 14" TCT Chopsaw
Makita 18v cordless drill
Pair of bucket seats (for future Haynes Roadster)
Plus lots of small tools (in fact I need another toolbox)

The only one from 'proper' Santa (me mum) was the Makita, everything else was an early christmas present to myself

Haven't actually opened anything from under the tree, but I have a very good idea that one of them is a fire extinguisher (Santa has obviously seen my welding and grinding

And as an extra special present (probably for not going midnight mass) I have woke up with the sniffles and aching like hell all over. Lemsip and Drambuie at 11am, how Christmas should be

I got two of those, one from mum and dad other from parents in law. I don't think they will replace the correct sized spanner but as I only have metric will come in handy for AF.

I got the name wrong, my wife got me a Power8 workshop, as seen here on the gadget show.

Carb balancer, 4 gauge job. One of the few presents I wanted so I brought

Treated the car to a wash so were both happy.

speedyxjs - 26/12/08 at 08:55 AM

Mine got two halfrauds tool chests (big one and medium one), compression tester and a massive tidy up on Boxing day. Oh, thats today


mistergrumpy - 26/12/08 at 09:50 AM

My garage got a small magnetic dish and a foot pump. Foot pumps handy because I've been inflating the tyres with my small bike pump.


pif - 26/12/08 at 10:22 AM

mine got rid of all the bags of presents secreted in there over the last few weeks and the 2 bikes hidden behind the indy. now set for a good tidy up....
