The little red clip
Porsche crest lapel pin
Clear side markers

I got a porsche polo shirt. Believe it or not, pretty damn nice! Oh and a Xbox 360 with Project Gotham Racing. I already have 3 RUF porsches in my garages, well in the game anyway, it rocks!

OK, now that I have your attention! It is just a little device to trick (turn on) the alarm system when the top is down. Supposedly, it provides a little better protection. Do a search on the forum, and you'll see some old threads with info and a photo (probably from Tool Pants!).

I received Porsche crest valve stem caps, a Porsche license plate frame, and a Porsche crest car key ring.

I got the silver Porsche valve stem caps with the black logo and a really
nice coffee table Porsche book.

On a side note, I bought a buddy of mine an Evolution car cover for his BMW.
Now, having seen his, I want to buy one for myself!

Happy New Year!

Porsche book here as well, "Porsche: The Road from Zuffenhausen". Looks pretty cool so far! She inscribed "The "other" love of your life... **heart** Brianna" on the inside cover, how sweet.

Those sabers are a lot of fun. I have the Vader (red) and the Anakin saber (blue). Very cool to have another boxster and Star Wars fan on the forum! What a combo!

I wanted the the Bentley Boxster Manual,but I asked too late. Oh well looks like I will have to order it for myself.

richardda · 12-28-2005, 05:09 AM

My wife gave me a DieHard Battery Charger/Maintainer, a "California" car duster and a set of Hot Wheels that includes a Boxster and a 911 C4S.

steve00s · 12-28-2005, 09:05 AM

My wife gave me a Porsche battery maintainer and a Porsche Sport Exhaust system. She's great!!

Steve00s, that's awesome dude...now if she can do the install for you, she might just be "wife-of the-year 2006"!!

cfos · 12-28-2005, 01:43 PM

Nothing Porsche related, but I did enjoy a few "pre-embargo" cuban cigars. Note to forum users, you can get quality for much less than my wife paid without a fancy box and label). Autographed baseball and a couple o games for the xbox360. As for the saber-fans, I have th blue fx but am trying to convince my wife that the collection isn't complete without the double-bladded Parks saber -- star wars fans (with a little cash) -- check out his stuff at the Parksabers.com

aglsteven · 01-02-2006, 03:12 AM

I got an ipod so that I can hook it up to the MP3 plug I installed on my new radio (disconnected the CD stacker). Now I can listen to all of my music as I cruise the streets of Melbourne!!!!

deliriousga · 01-02-2006, 09:53 AM

For the Boxster, I gave my wife a GPS unit and I'm installing the FM radio connector to route her around DOT reported traffic and construction problems.

For me, it was all 928 upgrades. New swaybars and adjustable drop links and several gift certificates for 928 Specialists for more upgrades.

It's been a very Porsche Christmas! :dance:

jameskk · 12-29-2005, 05:19 PM

wife surprised me with a xbox 360!! and a Bose soundock for the iPod

Dr. Kill · 12-30-2005, 09:56 AM

Well, sort of Porsche related - my wife got me a set of cufflinks with a 5 speed shift pattern on them - pretty cool

Also, not Porsche related - Santa brought me a new set of all-clad cookware

jpcolin · 01-01-2006, 10:26 PM

I got litronics, Rainsensor and a porsche coffie cup

I got a Porsche coffee cup two years ago before I took possession of my car. The wife said, "You can't drive fast yet, but you can certainly drink your coffee as fast as you like now, and do it in style."

BTW, hand wash that cup... the gold will wear off quickly in the dishwasher. Despite what your wife might think, it should be cared for like her fine china.

Rail26 · 01-02-2006, 08:28 AM

My wife gave me a new IPOD for Christmas! Although it sounds like crap over the FM transmitter someday Porsche might get off its ass quicker and come out with the adapter for the 987.

The 'POD (as my wife calls it) is really neat...you can download movies and tons of music. I travel quite a bit so I can listen to the 'POD instead of the screaming kids on the airplane.

I was hoping Santa was going to bring my baby back to me, but she is still on holiday in Phoenix getting her new rear end and exhaust courtesy of a careless driver.

Cheers and Happy New Year!
