Ho Ho Ho - Christmas Stocking Stuffer Ideas


Recommended Posts

Ok - it's been a bit hostile and overall very boring here in forum land for a while.

So before we pull out the big guns and get Troy and I drunk for another Playboy Mansion midnight eFight, let's look at this holiday season as a fun time and try to bring some community merryment back in the picture...

It's fair to say we have all dealt with the Christmas quote 'but you are so difficult to buy for'. As car people, I say there's no-one easier than us. Accessories and trinkets are MADE for us this time of year!

So...

What could the fat man fill your stocking with this Christmas?

I'm not talking gift-wrapped Ferarris here - these are real, tangible gift ideas that may give others some inspiration of what to get their friends and loved ones.

Some ideas to start:

Scale model of their car

There are plenty of 1:43 and 1:18 diecast models available these days. eBay Santa is already bringing me one of these...

Earth wire grounding kit

These are the coolest looking useless mod ever (except for vortex generators). What says 'happy birthday Jesus' more than a well grounded spark and purple cables.

GT-R Badge

Perfect for everything from the lawnmower to the fridge. Adds 10Kw to anything.

What are some more ideas?

Your head aint screwed on right :wave:

All the things to wish for xmas you want a toy of the toy you have parked in the garage ? And a wiring kit that will short out the car so it catches on fire??? Actually thats a great idea as your car parked next to mine just reminds me how much weight i have put on as i cant swing my door out enough for easy egress from the vehicle. :wave:

So this Xmas Im hoping a chance meeting will net me one of these.

...and when is our Xmas tree going up? I need to put your Streets and Modonna CDs there...and puppy Cujo that is going to eat your cat!

Hey remember he's leaving you for Xmas and moving into Palace De Patterson Lakes (well at least I hope he still is!)

Nah - you can borrow mine :O

Actually. I think the eye liner would really bring out my eyes, taking the attention away from my balding head.

And the jacket, well they did have a few good songs....but my god the 80s were horrible to everyone but John Secada and Fergal Sharkey. Actually, they should release a Christmas album together.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
