Default Xmas Gifts that I like!

Alex's girl friend had some artwork done of the Nomad... The artist
has a website showing the steps he did to do the work. His normal work is VW's and he admits that he had fun drawing this one up. To me - this type of gift is the best type - they aren't that expensive - but shows planning and thought about the "receiver". Alex got me a carbon fiber toilet seat... Not sure Gwen will like that - so it might be "shed art"...

Thanks John --- Yeah - - I was completely blown away that she would have gone to the "effort" and planning something like this takes... you can't just start a project like this on Xmas Eve - which is usually when I'm out shopping!! LOL

Very cool Greg! She defiantly knows how much you like these things called 'The American Automobile'!!

She's a keeper!!

How about a shot of Alex's present....not in use of course!
He was very excited and told Jen about it during SEMA week and I've been dying to see it!

Okay -- Then I have to add my other favorite gift from my buddy John... I had mentioned once that I'd like to buy an old gas pump for the front of the shed - but that the only ones around are either beautifully restored - or complete crap! So he finds a guy that restores them --- and we do a little shop tour... Since my second ever job was at a Mobil gas station - I've always had a little affinity for that brand... and collect stuff from time to time... So the guy says -- well I have an old Mobil pump... and guess who has it now? This is JOHN just after we got her unloaded. I'm going to put it outside between the doors and put an air hose reel in the bottom...

Okay Anthony -- here's the 2 lb 6 oz REAL carbon fiber toilet seat.... Can't tell you how ridiculous I think this is - but it will be fun down in the shed!
