Santa has been and Gone
« on: December 24, 2013, 20:07:14 »
Its 7am Down Under on Xmas Day, Santa has been, had a beer and crackers, left gifts and left for the Americas then is on to Europe.

 Its clear blue skies, not a cloud to be seen, and expected temperature for Christmas day is around 30 Degrees F and Santa has left a note that he is sending a full set of GAHH  seat leathers and a new Soft Top from Buds Benz as a gift.

Am taking the Pagoda out today for a drive, top down, to Brother in Laws home for Xmas lunch.

Thats about as good as it gets.

Merry Christmas to all our members from the Membership Team.

Garry

Merry Christmas to you both.

Hopefully Father Christmas (to call him by his proper name, on account of his British heritage  ;D) won't stop at Europe and will also make it to the UK. If he's handing out leather interiors, I've been really good. I don't need a new soft top. Pick me!!

Have a great drive. Bizzarely, our part of Germany was 13 foreign degrees and sunny this Christmas Eve. Not very Christmassy. Plus, horror of horrors, the bloody dog ate FC's mince pie and knocked over his milk right in front of the 5 year old who now thinks he's buggered on account of the no mince pie, no pressies rule.

We'll see...

Roads like mini ponds so not even going to try to get the old girl out.
You are a very lucky man Garry!

My best ever pagoda gift was from my grandson two years ago. His girlfriend works at an airbrush shop...
