Quiet in here... either everyone is busy in their respective garages building their roadsters... or they have been dragged out of the garages by their significant others to go do Christmas shopping or other Christmas type stuff!

So... what roadster related stuff are you hoping to get for Christmas this year?!

(I have a nice long list of tools I'm hoping to get to add to my collection!)

Space heater for the garage is on the list... call me a fair weather car builder but it's waaaayyyy to cold to do anything in the evenings and even the weekend was pretty chilly all day :D

Going to be taking a day off work to wait on a delivery of steel, not just for a roadster but for a few other projects.

However, Santa has made a few early deliveries this year:D

Portamig 185, Evolution 14" chopsaw, micro lathe, makita 18v cordless drill....... (the list goes on:D)
