It’s the time of year where thoughts turn to family and games, too much food & drink and underwear & socks wrapped up in festive wrapping. We all make the correct noises, I’m sure, when the pyjamas appear out of the package rather than AlpineStar base layer! But what would be your choice for yourself?
This year mine is a collection of relevant tools which work on old Brit bikes as very few of my existing metrics can be forced into use,
A BSA RGS might be considered unrealistic by some!!!!!!

I feel that I've been a good lad this year & I'd like bigger a Weber for the build.
Oh, sorry, forgot to say please
Also, I'd like to wish everyone A Happy Christmas

An extension to the garage, so I can move all the non bike stuff out the way so I can actually see them.
A stress free year would be absolutely amazing but we make our bed, pity it's so uncomfortable at times.
What imperial tools are you on the hunt for in particular?

Are you serious about the lathe Mc? Funnily enough I was having a conversation with one of my neighbours tonight and a mate of his had a stroke a couple of years ago and is now accepting he will never be able to use the lathe or drillpress and is looking to get rid. I said I’d keep an ear out so if you’re interested I’ll find out if there is a cost involved.
