What are we all hoping to unwrap on Christmas morning?

(After last year's blue wheel centres, this year I'm expecting the later model grille for my CLK.):D

I would like an SL63 boot lid spoiler. I keep throwing out hints but I fear they are being thrown wide of the mark. :sad:

I'd like another fleece that I wont wear so I can put it with my other fleeces that I dont wear either.

One day I can open a shop selling fleeces.

I really want someone from kleemann to come and remove some of the roll from my car when it does a good impression of cornering. My goal in life has now chaged - to make the ML handle like my TT did! i will succeed!...maybe.

I had my Christmas present today,, a new Bosch built under fridge and freezer and I have spent the day putting them in,,with just the doors to mount.

When I moved in during 1996 I did not have any money and I bought two from the local paper for £50, so I cant complain.

The new ones are so nice and group A on running cost.

I've just bought an AMG keyring as an XMAS pressy to myself at what I thought was a massive saving, cut from £25 to £9.63 or something at MB Brooklands. I was quite pleased with myself until my wife said "You paid nearly £10 for a KEYRING! Are you daft?" which brings it all into perspective, as keyrings are utility items really.
What I'd really like is a yellow MB baseball cap to keep the sun off my bald spot next summer, (when I can get the roof down again)....I want yellow to match the car. Am I being a bit precious? I do recall there used to be yellow baseball caps around, but the current crop are either black, silver or the Maclaren/Vodaphone white and dayglo orange.
Of course, an SLK55AMG would be nice from Santa....pity about the current choice of colours.
I was just saying to the wife that, with the bank rate falling to 2% it's not worth having any savings, no point keeping the cash in the bank, and with such great deals being available on Mercs (sales drop of 57%, they must be getting desperate at the dealers), we ought to go out and help stimulate the economy by buying a new one. I guess that you can predict her reaction....anyone that objects to £10 something keyrings might have an opinion on £60k sportscars. She actually thought I was serious. LOL

Well, not altogether. I have a Tesco's bar coded club card on my key ring, and when I pass it across at the checkout for "swiping", some of the ladies seem to see me in an altogether different light!

If that's all it takes to cheer people up, £10 sounds a pretty fair investment. ;)

Altogether, say "Aaaahhh". :rolleyes:

Seriously Malcolm, do you think that having a STAR kit would help you understand the error of your ways? :-?
