Volkswagen Camper 6 Decades of success, full of photos etc 400 pages so a good read, loads of period pictures.
I have a soft spot for aircooled VWs, car and transporters - long before the current crazy prices started!
2 Beetles and a 412 estate - before moving onto my Audi 80 Sport!
Coxy, I 've been hearing that Go Pro is excellent for mountain bikers to use ..... probably really only good on red or black routes

Seen videos done by Free runners, Mountain bikers, rock climbers, rally drivers, hill climb cars all using Go Pro and the pics are superb.

There was a chap at the Breakfast Club meet using one attached to a quad copter doing an ariel video!

3/8 giant deep socket set (! ) and a big box from ebay with a tiny black PS2 with about a million games, controllers, memory cards () and a steering wheel and pedals (!)

Proud to say that in 37 years of life this is my first ever games console, never had one, never wanted one and never had time to play games and pretty sure that won't change now that I've got one. but i suppose it's the thought that counts...

The PS2 is not a problem in itself, having absolutely nowhere to put the fkn thing is the problem, now that the house is full to the brim with kids *in' toys!! seriously, I'm either going to have to spend the next month building shelves and cupboards, or move to a bigger house. It's beyond a fekin joke. Plastic plastic and more plastic. My suggestion to get them a pedal car each(which could have been stored outside... and would look hUUge under the tree, was clearly ignored)

Anyway, I'm glad it's over, I'm sure plenty of gold flowed to china in the process (I notice they were doing a covert extraction from the bank of Hawaii recently) but I do maintain that I firmly hate christmas, I hate jesus and father christmas, and am resigned to the same fkn thing happening every year for the rest of my life.

I suppose at worst last year's toys that they haven't had a chance to look at yet could always go on the coal fire, toasty.

Bahh humbug.

I am guessing like most of us on here you have a garage... well, if you pick up a cheap TV and put it in there you can start a man-cave and have even more excuses to spend time in there. the PS2 also plays music CDs, so I am thinking if you don't have a stereo in the garage...
