I continue my longstanding membership of the SS. Wait...  Usual from me, I like most aspects of car stuff, so just send me anything cool, particularly stuff that represents car culture in your locale (unless it sucks). No shirts please, or anything that will cause customs or the postal service to have a sense of humour failure.

Once again, iForge has assigned me to be his Santa - the idea, as per last year, is that I'll swap with someone, so he still gets to have an actually-secret Santa. Can someone who wants/is happy with mainland US Santee send me a PM so we can swap? Doesn't matter where your assigned Santee is, as I'm fine with international shipping. I'll post here once the switcheroo is done.

I am most of the way there with a package, but I'm trying to avoid sending it until the person I swapped with has got theirs to iForge, otherwise he'll know who they are based on who I'm sending stuff to.

I was able to retrieve my parcel from the post office today, but have had no time to do anything further, and it's possible I may not until Saturday. I will post once opened!

Got some time today to open my package! What I initially received didn't give me any clues as to contents - well, it would have done, but I removed the address label/slip for photos without actually looking at it, turned out when I was tidying up the customs declaration would've given the game away, so I made a lucky decision there!  Customs declaration? Yup, look closely, this is  packaging: And what's inside, but something from one of Australia's best exports:  (Bonus Rodney the 2Sexy conrod sticker) This is a really nice book, it's a rundown of the history of MCM's cars, but they've put some effort into it with some proper quality paper and printing:   HANDS UP & PANTS DOWN!  Thanks Santa, this was a fantastic choice!

Glad you like it! Couple of notes: - The license plate frame was given to me by Commie years ago, but I've never got myself anything I can run a US-size plate on (we have specific rules on this), so I figured someone who does should benefit - The "don't know what it is" are bar snacks from the Sapporo brewery in Hokkaido. Try having them with a craft lager. - The red tube is a 100% genuine Jay-Dee-Emm road flare... case. I wasn't brave enough to get myself added to a no-fly list by trying to get the actual flare out of Japan. - Dogge is an Andrex puppy, stalwart spokescanine for every Brit's favourite bog roll. - UpGarage magazines are just freebie things they have in store, I think some of them have adverts for their in-house J-Pop/grid girls group as well. Lol Japan etc. - The big magnets are the required Japanese signage for "I am a young/new driver who can't drive worth a poo poo" and "I am an old bastard who can't drive worth a poo poo". Fun fact, the former remains in "spring leaf" guise, but the latter is now more an "all season passed" theme, because the previous "autumn leaf" design came with unfortunate connotations of "about to drop".

I always get some in Japan, and you both coincided with a trip happening a few months previously. And yes, I do have a few hanging about!
