Did anyone get what he wanted for his bus? I didn't get anything but I would like to have gotten a set of front seat upholstery for a pre-1962 walk-thru bus (nobody seems to make them).
May the bus god have smiled at you and given you what ever you wanted. |

Jesus- that's what Christmas is about huh... :roll:Just wait until you have kids (God forbid), hopefully that's when you'll see what ITs about...then again, maybe you'll see that your kids will come first regardless of the time of year.. _________________ Even YOU can prevent FIRES!

Amen to that, my 3 year old was in heaven. 1st x-mas he really knew what it was about 1st presents then Jesus' birthday.
As for the original poster of this thread. Nothing for the bus. I did get a couple of Johnny Lighting buses but the best gift was a semi restored vintage 1950's Gulf gas pump to display in my home office. This thing kicks ass. My wife really suprised the hell out of me. |

I came home on X-mas night after being out of town touring the relatives parties and had waiting for me my Stiftung birth certificate for my DC - which I thought was a pretty cool gift. _________________ Jack

I usually tell santa what i want, then i just buy it myself, because my santa never quite gets me those vw related gifts i keep asking for. Maybe for next year i will show santa some pictures of the items i need....hopefully then santa will get the hint _________________ This is my 23rd year in the Auto Body/Paint Game!

Got a book on the Transporter from the Schiffer Auto Series (as seen in shiftys post) and a DVD with the show from the History Channel on the bug. Not much stuff for the bus itself, that is unless you count the wife allowing me to spend the last 5-6 days getting wires and rewiring it.
