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 got a Milwaukee brand tyre inflator that uses the same rechargeable batteries as my battery ratchet and drill. It's a cool little device, you punch in the pressure you need and it pumps the tyre up to that level then switches off.
I also got a roll of adhesive garage wall protector and my wife bought me a pre-sale Minichamps F1 model car that will arrive when they make it.

I didn't get any car-related pressies so I bought another Rover instead.

Talking of which, I know of a Japanese car in Dorchester Red/ aubergine leather that's up for grabs for a good price.
