I got a wood ebrake handle and this cool Mini battery powered car. The lights come on, the horn honks, makes startup noise, the brakes squeal when you stop, 3 gears,
the thing hauls butt!

I thought the shelves weren't available any more. But you're saying an elf brought your MINI a shelf?
Oh wait you have an 06.

My mother gave me something very special for my Mini. It's a wool, plaid blanket to keep in the boot for 'emergencies'. This blanket was in my granddad's cars (2 of which were Minis) as long as my mother can remember, and she's almost 70!

(mom is english, which explains granddad having Minis)

While not exactly mini related, my wife gave me a new iPod nano for Christmas. I'm looking in to getting the mini iPod adaptor installed now.

my daughter got me the iPod nano also.. but I don't think I'll get that adaptor.. it cost more than the damn nano!! I may change my mind after I see how it works just plugging it in to the auxiliary

I don't even have my MINI yet, but Wifey got me new summer wheels and then on Christmas morning since she didn't know exactly what I wanted she let me order custom floor mats from ggbailey.com.

Congrats to everyone! Ours is new speakers with special adapters courtesy of one of the members. One special note to the iPod people. DO NOT USE THE HEADPHONE JACK to connect to Aux. Make sure you get the adapter that takes the line level out then it will sound as good as the iPod adapter.

Gas.

Earlier Bombadil got a Koa eBrake handle and A.E. custom center caps for both sets of wheels. They have a Celtic dragon knot in red on a black background. I'd take photos, but the wheels need cleaning.

Doesn't look like the Carisma one. The Carisma GP is freakin' awesome, though.

I got a brake light pulsar from gominigo.com--just installed it today. Pretty nifty.
