Ho, ho, fekin, Ho

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!!!!!!

A pair of EBC contoured front rotor's please.......

Although I have to admit free stuff sounds better...

I did have a load of imperial stuff but I got shot of it a few years ago...I may have even given it away...

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

I have been OK, not angel good or evil bad .... so I would like to have a small myford lathe so I can spin my remaining nuts

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?

I've got some imperial taps and dies I have every intention of never using again.

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.
