[Cutter]

Socks, underwear and a belt.

Oh and I think the whole engine crank rebuild and paint job this year kinda counts too, at least my wife says so... I may send myself a highlift from a secret santa.

Bugeye travel mug, bugeye sweatshirt and cup holder. Not impressed with cupholder seems to small for the travel mug.

[AU_88]

A ticket to the National Championship, plane ticket and some clothes.... Oh and some money to order some needed parts for the fleet.

[mrdoiron]

The woman did good, she got me 5 movies that feature Rovers :
1. The Itailian Job (orig with Michael Caine) - features a SER II
2. Living Free - features a SER II
3. The Gods Must be Crazy - features a SER II
4. She's all that - features a Defender apparently
5. Tucker Must Die - features a Defender apparently

Plus - a really cool Pewter statue of a Ser I w/ HUE plate...

a set of high back seats for my 88 and 109, along with new seatbelts to go with them. Santa stopped at RN on his way south this year :thumb-up:

The loving wife bought me a set of specialized sockets that will remove rounded nuts or bolts. Me throwing wrenches when I am trying to remove bolts with stripped heads seems to have worked, or maybe it was the kid picking up on some of the colorfull words accompaning the wrench throwing hmmmm?:thumb-up:

the green bible

I got the same green bible! Been looking through it and not sure how I survived without it!

[usadventureracing]

A 1983 D110 and 75 RN Gift Certificate. :D

[LR Max]

Got me a new tow strap. After 10 years of loyal service, the old one is done. A new 3"x30' will continue to pull those jeeps :thumb-up:.

On a side note, I made some $$$ a few days ago so I'll have enough to fix my brakes. Get those fixed, the engine sorted out and new weatherstripping and I'll be a happy camper.

[BGGB]

santa got me a neat little tool. its a milwaukee flexable camera so i can check out hard to see areas of the rover, it has its own led light and shows up on a handheld screen...pretty cool

This is cool

I got a bunch of USGS 7.5 minute topo maps & a very nice map case with a viewing window. Also a ladder extension for my rooftop tent. My son got an orange Defender 110 much like Roverform's... he runs around with it saying "wa-wo-wuh" (Land Rover).

[Terrys]

A 1983 D110 and 75 RN Gift Certificate. :D
That's akin to getting an elephant, an a peanut to feed him.

[cousindave]

My wife got me a bottle of cologne to cover the smell of the exhaust fumes on my clothes.

[Lalo88DK]

I was lucky, I got a new 88" Series III renovationproject and a plasmacutter (used), all in advance :thumb-up:

And christmas eve I got 4 isolation mats and three cupholders for the new Series III project, very nice christmas this year. :D

[jac04]

I got this t-shirt:

For tools, I got a nice shop vac and a rubber mallet.

For car parts, I picked up a set of NOS door weatherstripping and NOS door skins for my 68 Camaro.

If at all possible, I would love to see pics of your stuff. It's fine if it's too much of a pain.

Thanks,

Aaron:

I left the curved part on and my (Genuine) Defender door seals fit fine (if a bit tight).

Give it a try before you start cutting.

also, if you must cut them off don't grind (messy) I used a pair of good tin snips and then sanded the sharp edges - worked fine.

[shawn88]

I was lucky enough to get a home brewing kit, what endless possibilities!!!

Way to go! Santa was gooooood to you.

[73series88]

HMMMMMM!
now that sounds good

[73series88]

do you mean you just straitened them out?
aaron

[TedW]

aaron

I didn't do anything to the edges - just pushed the seals on. I took one look at the window frame and said forget it - way too strong to mess with, in my view. And as it turned out, unneccessary.

I may have cut a small (2-3") piece off near one of the footwells, but I think it was left over from a PO's bad repair job.

[TeriAnn]

All my Land Rover got this year was a drive from Flagstaff to Texas to visit my sister and hopefully an uneventful drive back sometime next week.

My TR3 made a big haul through. Her hard top is in a shop getting refinished and repainted and her boot lid is getting a rust area fixed and repainted. SHE GOT 3 NEW GAUGES, a new fuel pressure regulator, new fuel pressure gauge, and a new electric fan controller.

My haul was a bit smaller than my TR's haul and more family oriented including a wall collage of current family pictures, clothes and the cutest animated singing Christmas mouse.

Sorry, nothing Land Rover related beyond a pay check.

[smukai]

The wife agreed that new aluminum Rocky Mountain door tops were in order for the Series.

I'm just trying to decide if I should have them painted or if I should leave them raw before mounting them up.

Gotta love a wife that understands the Rover thing (it doesn't hurt that the 2 year old daughter loves playing in the truck).

[Broadstone]

An extra day off to spend with my little helper! She calls it daddys Tack-Ter (tractor) I guess because they are the same color? Best gift of all!

[lrdukdog]

I got this great looking jute bag with two very nice black lumps of (rock?) and several short lenghts a tree switch branches. That is my usual gift.
Jim Wolf
Oh, and two bottles of "The Balvenie Doublewood" 12 year old single malt whisky. It was a big bag.
