Well, Georgeous, I received a 'Super Cars' calendar.

Not overly impressed due to the following contents (verbatim)...

Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
Koenigsegg Agera R
Alpha Romeo 8c Competizione
Pagani Zonda R
Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
Ferrari 599 GTO
VW AG Audi e-Tron Spyder hybrid concept car
Bentley Continental GT
Maserati MC12
Lamborghini Gallardo LP-570 Superleggera
Aston Martin Vantage - silver, pretty much side on but can just make out the 55 plate
Ferrari Enzo 2002

I think you can phathom out my feelings.

On the other hand, I did get to watch the Inbetweeners Movie biggrin

Very nice indeed! They look fantastic in rose gold with the red, white and green running through the face and strap smile

The AMVOX2 Chronograph DBS is still my all time favourite watch, just priced out of my league for now frown

I can just imagine the enthusiastic face you had to put on when you unwrapped it biggrin

See, this just goes back to my much earlier point of it's much easier if no one gets anything for you, you just buy stuff that you know you want smile

But the Inbetweeners movie is bloody brilliant! Just bought myself a copy on Blu-Ray today, not seen it since it was out in the cinema, forgot how good it was smile

eek Blimey, just found it. Still, it's the only case on the market that I can see that will protect the ECU though.

Thanks for pointing this out, didnt even know it existed and have been waiting for something like it to appear, expensive but worth it!

I'm glad one of you listens to me Mr K wink

That is a more modern design with the extra piece at the top to hold the key in - I suppose the new hole at the bottom is to allow the ECU to breath rolleyes

Bananarob - you have a DBS, your Manual should have similar comments early in section 2 to those of a DB9 ie (not verbatim) that the car is supplied with one Glass Emotion Control Unit, one plastic Emotion Control Unit and one leather pouch.

I reiterated this to my supplying dealer - lo and behold a pouch appears - ironically one with DBS on smile
