Merry Christmas all!!

I thought I'd write this little rhyme
to celebrate this festive time
As the twenty fifth it doth approach
and we all get on the drinking coach

As we stuff ourselves up to our eyes
With Turkey and stuffing and loads of mince pies
or maybe whatever floats your boat
be it fish and chips or curried goat

Whoever you're with and whatever you do
There's a couple of things I'd like to say to you
and thats "have a happy Christmas"...be of festive cheer
And enter the 360 six hour next year!!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS ALL
Ta
C

Thank you Claire! We don't really have Christmas like you British. No Boxing Day, no turkey, no Christmas pudding and mince pies.

We have to make do with foie gras to start (served with a nice sauternes), a tiny bit of lobster served with a cauliflower soup, goose, premier cru cognac, a fourth growth claret (chateau Talbot 2000), a little roquefort (served with an old pineau)...............

AND who said God is dead?

Just the sort of thing that encouraged 'la Revolution francaise'

Actually, I, for one, am very envious. Enjoy!

We dont have a big bash on Chistmas day down here but have a good time at the "three kings" festivals in various towns and villages scattered around the area.
Just an excuse for a p### up

On 5 January Spain celebrates the end of Christmas with a great party where everybody gives and receives presents. It is to celebrate the arrival of the Three Wise Men - Melchior Caspar and Balthazar - to the city where Jesus was born. In the same way that the Three Wise Men gave gifts to baby Christ, here they share out presents amongst children around Spain - in fact; they are more popular than Santa Claus.

Try and enjoy it Gordon. Doesn't sound like your sort of thing at all

zefarelly · 24 Dec 2011, 16:14 (Ref:3003946)

We're all over the place this year, Arthur dictated main course, Chicken and Ham he wanted, an assortment of cooked meats to start and a snooker table covered in cheese for dessert.

oh, and there's a barrel of ale and another of cider in the Workshop to accompany scaelxtric!

Who needs food with that lovely wine and Pineau?

Ribs of beef roasting. 98 Haute Medoc breathing and champagne drunk. Then I open these gifts from Ken Clarke and Anthony Robinson, and Hannah Goodland. The Spa six hours team. I am now officially blown away!

R D P · 26 Dec 2011, 10:07 (Ref:3004243)

Great shots, Peter !

Also got this one printed and framed - from Solitude Revival this year. Not real racing, but I like the strawbales !

**Peter Mallett** · 26 Dec 2011, 10:53 (Ref:3004251)

Excellent Ralf.

R D P · 26 Dec 2011, 11:09 (Ref:3004255)

Thank you, Peter !
You can even see the Ten-Tenths sticker - if you look at the bodywork through the right front suspension between the top link and the anti-roll bar ....

**Peter Mallett** · 26 Dec 2011, 13:18 (Ref:3004271)

Spotted the logo. Lovely little car too.

Just noticed the above glitch. That was good champagne.
