I gave my son a mini MINI RC. It works pretty good. He asked, "does your MINI drive like that?"

My daughter gave me two die cast ones, keychains, I took them off the key chain and when you put them on the floor and pull back and let go they go forward :smile: she also gave me the remote control one with the watch control. Since it's raining (WHAT! in San Diego?) we are inside so playing around with them.

Got a Tyco Canned Heat Cooper on the way. It's the old school rally version. Found it on E-Bay from G Britain. Haven't seen'em here yet–only the BMW versions.

I got a mini rc controlled by an infrared digital watch that makes engine sounds, the horn beeps, and the lights work! I also got the mini cuckoo clock, Molten Mini t-shirt, B&M shortshifter, glove box organizer, and the organizer for under the radio made just like the glovebox one. Woohoo! :smile:

I picked up my new Mini on Saturday, so it's kind of like a Christmas present to myself. Definitely the best present I got this year!

I gave my two boys one MINI each. From the Scalextric The Italian Job set, they received 1/32 scale slot racers of Charlie's IB/W MC and Stella's CR/W MCS. Been burning up the racetrack, and practicing their drifting skills (slot cars are RWD nor FWD) through the twisties.

Got the same one, thought it was pretty cool that it's controlled by a watch. ANd it's cute that the lights actually work!

Got my wife a hat, shirt and she got herself a bomber jacket (supposed to mine but it was too small, yea right, supposed to be mine!). Got my dad a hat and I got the leather racing jacket in the Mini Motoringgear catalog.

My car got a Magnaflow, H-sport rear swaybar, Yokohama Spec 2's and an Alta SS for X-mas. This track weekend coming up is getting a little expensive .

My kids also got me one of those portable air compressor/jumper cable/power outlet units from Costco for upcoming autocrosses.
