I got an original photo taken of Alec Issigonis by the acclaimed photographer Jane Bown. It’s a photo from 1962 with all the info about the photo written on the back. A photo of an amazing guy by an amazing photographer.

I got a 2.5 ton lightweight trolley jack, some 3/8 Teng sockets and some drills.

Looking forward to using all of them, am I sad?

I don't need anything for myself but usually get Halfords vouchers. They can add up, last year I bought a complete set of Pagid discs and pads for the rear.

I bought myself 3 drill bits that snapped many months ago and a pair of front arms as I expect to be using a pair this year. I've just gone and asked the wife if the arms are presents and she has said yes.

I was hoping for an impact wrench but still it is not available... a year after it was advertised.

Dealt 1/2 dr impact gun and Halfords impact socket set.

Would love to try it on a M47 crank pulley bolt.

My wife got me a driving experience in a GT40, after I apparently didn't shut up about it for days after seeing the film Le Mans '66. Apart from that, I got a 3D printer, loosely car related as I'm hoping to make up some little bits and pieces, clips and things, on it.

I was given a 'Life' hammer inc of a sharp knife for the inside of the car in case the 4x4 rolls in a smash up. I had asked for a 64gb Micro SD card for the dash cam and a nephew living in London very kindly brought it out to Nairobi. It is just what I needed for the 4x4 dash cam.

I got a Karcher K2 jet wash, I bought a lot of car cleaning products with the money I got.

I suppose I could count picking up Puddles the 1.8T from 2750hp as a gift also.
