Happy Christmas from me too. - David W

Guys,

Have a great Christmas all.

It's been an interesting year. Thanks for your company, humour and advice.

At the start of 2001 I didn't expect to...

*Have top advice on Land Rover piston skirt rings from John S.
*Receive excellent stress counselling from Darcy.
*Get the best Rover 400 buying advice ever from David L.
*Smile at "Victor Meldrew" type retirement grumpiness from Tomo.
*Laugh time and again at Guy L and his "anall day bender". Just one slip of the space bar to create a legend.
*Learn again and again from Adam and Andrew, the Tune-Up boys.
*Nearly broker the purchase of a very rare Vincent Black Shadow motorcycle at a fraction of its value from Chris W who was virtually selling one.
*Feel even more disappointed when realising this was the only Black Shadow made with the gyro perpetual motion engine.
*Find comradeship in those willing to stand up and admit "I own a Citroen Xantia and I like it".
*Take pleasure in seeing "Micky Huh Huh" post so much anti-Xantia stuff that they devalued enough that we now can look at buying a second. Thanks Micky, I wonder where/who you are now?
*Come to know the name Bogush as a (the!) great cut and paste warrior.
*Display a bumper sticker saying "I've met Mark from Brazil".

I could go on and on but present wrapping for the girls calls.

Thanks to HJ and Martyn for providing the vehicle for this journey.

I could just look in tomorrow to see if Santa has posted anything. Might seem a bit sad logging-on during Christmas day. But which will SWMBO prefer, that or just having to pressure wash the Land Rover back body in my new slippers after lunch!

Cheers,

David

Even then I missed the most important one.

*Frequently curse the lack of an edit button.

And good wishes and thanks to you and yours David , for your good endeavours. I'm off now to have some further exchange with Tomo on the Switching Drivers thread. Bah Humbug!

Regards, KB

Not been on the site for a day or five so Season's Greetings from me also.

I too never thought I would be so interested in the ups and downs of cars I had never driven, encounters with drivers I never hope to meet, and BackRoomers that I hope to meet one day.

All the best,
S

I would also like to wish all the contributors a very Merry Christmas. I've enjoyed the useful tips and the banter throughout the year.
