So what motoring related pressies did we all get?

Voodoomelon

Every year I specifically tell everyone that I don't want anything for the car as if I wanted it, i'd already have it. I hate car paraphernalia crap, its the factory look all the way for me.

So what did I get car related? A €100 voucher for petrol! Couldn't be more pleased, there's 85% of a tank right there.

So what did everyone else get? Anyone rip open a present to be met with a pink steering wheel cover?

F all car related thankfully, bought a balance valve motor for the ZT a couple of weeks ago, that was my present to me in these recessionary times :rolleyes: (Few years ago I was sure I'd have a strip club somewhere in England by the time I was 30, bastad recession :mad: )

That would actually be useful. It is possible to buy one to hold all the large random stuff that floats around the car boot?

Lidl sometimes do them when they have specials relating to car stuff on.

Argos do the smaller car boot organisers.

One of the features of the Mini Fridge I got is that it can be used in the car!

I got one of those things that you put on the back window, you press a button and it displays a smiley face or thank you message.

Not exactly sure if these are legal. It came with info stating that it was legal in the UK, but iv never seen them here.

I want to find a way of securing it in the boot so it doesn't move at all, and then all my unnecessary crap can be put in it!!

Wow that's a great size! I was thinking it was much smaller, would it fit a briefcase sized case in it? I've one o those kits for when your car breaks down that has pretty much everything in it, and it rattles around the boot.

Yeah I would say so, I would be very surprised if it didn't anyway!

Deadly thanks, will head down there in the next week to pick one up

Wonder could you use the luggage hooks in the boot to secure it?

the lidl one has a velcro strip on the side and it can be attached to the upholstery in your boot, so mine has been velcroed to the wall of the boot so it doesn't get in the way of luggage

I guess the closest thing I got motor related was a Clarkson book from my dad. I think I'll keep it in the car so that, if I get stranded in the snow, I have something to burn to keep me warm.

I also got a few quid, so I reckon I'll be picking up one of those Halfords boot tidy things tomorrow.

TheBazman

One of these on order - still waiting for it to arrive in the post

Sorry, no clue, he did them several years ago. He just matched the image that was already there, do Passats have one too?

I have the TomTom one, it's wired directly in to my ignition live rather than plugging it in, it's a grand piece of kit and quite tidy
