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 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.
