I really don't do xmas, it's rubbish!! 'BAH HUMBUG!!'

I'll be hibernating in the garage this holiday armed with SatTV, warm garage audio and plate of mince pies & cold sandwiches.

I plan to strip down the headers, uppipe, and turbo on my P&J and get busy with a die grinder and dremel.

In the pursuit of a few extra sucked in grams of air and more go i'll be porting said items and carrying out some more mapping. I plan to welcome in the new year with some extra automotive madness!!

Some might say that's boring but i'm just about to go through my 42nd xmas and more of the 'same ole same ole' is just too much to bare, and I HATE TURKEY!!

Anybody feel the same way??

Anyway....Have a jolly good one, see you in 2009 thumbup

Sounds good to me !! This is my 53rd Christmas and rather than a " Tour de relatives " I too will be spending the time working on the RX7 in the garage. Innovate Air/fuel set up to refine and bits to polish.

Not a Christmas fan but to all those who are, have a great time.

Bob

As always, Christmas Day is spent watching the kids open their presents, then down to the village pub at noon (sandwiches for the kids, just beer for the adults), meet up with as many friends who are not entertaining (quite a few), laugh and drink a great deal, then roll home to cook a slap-up turkey roast.

All the best to you for 2009 thumbup
