Default Christmas Wishlists...

G'day all,

What's on everyone's Christmas wishlist?

I have to say that there's an AC/DC box set that I have my eye on.

What's in it?



I doubt I'll get it, as no one in my family ever gets stuff like this for me, so I guess I'll be praying for something like a weekend away with the missus or something like that.

A massage voucher would be nice.

Anyway, what's the plans for your tree?

You need to circle things in catalogs and emailing links to gifts you want. Last year I even purchased a gift for myself and gave it too the wife to wrap for the kids to give dad, she does the same sometimes

Top idea. Although it seems to always get lost - LOL.

To be honest, I think what I want more than anything is to have a break from work and to be able to return refreshed for once. I'd say there's 2 chances of that happening :(

I have NO idea what to get for my parents.

I already bought my present from Dad. It's in the laundry waiting for "Santa" to assemble it.

As for the wishlist, I'd like an Aston Martin V8 Vantage - Carbon Black edition, and/or a BF F6 in a colour that isn't Lightening Strike, Mercury Silver, or Bionic.

I only want a good happy holiday. I usually buy dad a gift voucher for bunnings, mum
a gift voucher for myer, brother a Dan Murphy gift voucher. Easy peasy, they all love it, and I usually get gift vouchers, cash or clothes. Everyone isn't allowed to spend more than $50 and we all end up happy.

What is your chimney PVC pipe or something?



For me it's a Fender Jazz Bass, a Playstation3 or some Azzuros for my ute. Any of them will do me just fine.

Haha I was going to say she's pretty streamlined these days. No massive front bar to get in the way either... good girl staying away from too many aftermarket bolt-ons.

Extractors, a 2" straight through system, a Weber carby and hmmm oooh the new boxer diesel and uhmm...a 12v fridge, bullbar, driving lights, uhf, speakers that arent leftovers from the previous falcon....camping gear, no 90kmph speed restriction...blah blah blah blah blah

An F250 would be really nice.

But more realistically, I wish my mechanic will finally fix my mysterious engine problem.

So much want, so little time (and money grr)

Parts for my bike, maybe some new T-shirts (how's the pre-xmas sale coming along, trippy?)... Or maybe we just put the money towards the new deck we're building...

I would love to have my coupe all finished with a big red bow, parked outside under a Xmas tree....but that is not going to happen so I just want everyone to have a great time on Xmas day...loads of laughter and bad Xmas jokes and watching Groundhog day over and over as has become our Christmas tradition.

I'd be content with more videos on youtube of the 5.0L Mustang doing whatever and the SVT Raptor doing some off-road work and jumps.

I really don't know what I want for Christmas yet.

These days, if I tend to want something, I'll either go out and buy it, or save out of a couple of my pay packets to get it.

I'm thinking maybe some sort of polisher for my car (because I want to keep it schmick but am too lazy to do it by hand!)

Would love time off to chill and relax, but unfortunately Christmas day is the only day I'm guaranteed off at this stage :(

Snorkel kit, set of tyres, or a holiday.

But I get the funny feeling I'm settling for socks and jocks.
