Event Coverage What did Santa bring you?

Drove 300 miles round trip on the 22rd, to bring the wife to the ER. Drove 300 miles today, to bring her home from the hospital!

To me, priceless!

Had I taken a photo of all the family gathered around the table you might mistake it for a Cirque du Soleil pre dinner..10 people,some dress in PJ's and resembled clowns ,some dressed in their finest and one old fart we will call the ring master wearing a hot rod T-Shirt & jeans and welding a shape knife in a amazing performance that left a once plump turkey into a pile of bones. HRP

 

Bringing her home had to be the best present of all!

I hope she is doing well. HRP

 

Gee, I wonder who the old fart was. lol

need to post newer pictures

 

I got fuzzie dice and a 8 ball brody knob.

 

I was not good this year, so I got the same thing I got last year another new oil leak!

 

.......also, my son picked this up for my pickup.

 

And a sweater. And everything but the fenders and the frame horn covers are too big.

 

The happiness of watching my 10 year old daughter open the box of her very own tools she wanted, then the fun of being pelted relentlessly by the Nerf gun we got for my 8 year old son....

 

I crack up every time I hear this,I heard it driving to the shop Thursday.

Your sharper than me today,that would have been a great response to Bob's question. HRP

 

Nothing car related, got some jeans , sweat shirts and spent the day with my parents and sister. That was a good time, good Christmas. And I am off work on vacation till Jan,3. Now I can work on the coupe next week, at a nice relaxed pace.

 

My Christmas present won't arrive till February or March and I'll prolly be banned for this:



Apparently I was very good this year....

I got a torque wrench and a piano, and some clothes. I'll probably be using the breaker bar I got for my birthday first though. Merry Christmas everyone!

 

Renewal on my HRM and my Rodder's Journal plus some O/T stuff.

 

More awesomeness!

 

Hell, if they are anything like me, they will have to figure out what the hell it is first!!

 

Two great lines from my 4 year old Grandson: I placed a Dinkey Fork Lift and a Tractor with three gang mowers in a wood box with a slide to open top, toys I had as a kid in the 1950's, figured he was old enough to understand. As he slid the top off and looked inside he smiled and said "Antiques!" Later we were out in the garage, he looked around at all the stuff, "Da, sell all this junk, and buy the missing parts for the truck!" He really likes the '39 project. Got a nice cap with real early Ford Motor Co. logo. Granddaughter was a lot of fun too, it was a really nice Christmas. Really big gift was knowing grandchild number three will arrive this summer.

Clunker, last week Emily was talking about this boy in her class, "all he talks about is cars, stupid cars! I don't really like cars." She must have saw the look on my face, because the next thing she said was "not cars like YOUR car, your car goes runkity runkity. You KNOW it's gonna be FUN when you hear that runkity runkity sound!!" Yup, THATS my girl!

 

@BurntOutOldMechanic make sure you start practicing your pronunciation now, I understand the correct way is Jag-you-are.

 

Soon someone will show up to chisel the H.A.M.B. Alliance tag off of my 63 Falcon...

Runkity runkity, so cool!
I got a "Holy Shit what's that?" the other day from a neighbor that came over to help me trap a varmint out in the back shed. He has lived a mile from me for the last 30 years and didn't know I had old cars around.
As far as Santa is concerned, nada, but that is OK, I didn't get her anything either.

 

For once I think the Brits got it right, how we got the Americanized pronunciation out of Jag-u-ar, I'll never figure out.

 

I got a new interior for my roadster, "Ferris Bueller." Check out the color! (still needs to be built). Like it?

 

I got the rest of the wiring harness for my car. and a 100 amazon gift card. pretty good day all in all!

 

Those jags sound so good, your going to love it.

 

My daughter wants a real piano bad! She has a decent Yamaha keyboard, but the lady that gives her lessons has a nice old upright grand, she keeps saying "daddy, my piano doesn't sound as good as my teachers".

 

A new shirt with cars of course. Best of all was us giving our nearly 2 year old grandson his first Hot Rod
