So what's on your Santa list of driving desirables?

For me it's a SatNav (bit behind the times here in Bristol).

CG-lock.

I'd still rather have OS Landrangers (or a decent Atlas for longer trips) than a SatNav. I've yet to find a piece of software that can match my routing algorithms....

I ran one of these for a while but didn't really rate it. I seem to be in a minority though! :D

On my Xmas list - money for the HPC entry course :lol:

I like mine.
You should be able to get it cheaper than list price through car owners' clubs etc.

Your far better off getting an aftermarket sat nav system, the extra fitted into your car may make it easier to sell, but you won't get your money back.

I have the tom tom, I like the way I can download stuff for it, and its 3D maps are very useful for showing whats around that bend, as far as sideroads etc goes.

In my christmas stocking, if I can't have baby spice, I'd like a motorcycle jacket

Dear Santa,

I quite like the look of the new 911 GT3. White, please. :D

I'll settle for a used Caterham 7 and an attractive young woman to sit in the passenger seat and keep me... erm, from speeding :wink:

A copy of the Bespoke Commentary DVD would come a close second :(

Any new car is in my Christmas wish list.

I hope to get a new C4 Picasso as a company car in the new year.

I imagine I don't have a rich granny out there, so I'll have to rely on 'El Gordo' or 'El Niño' to do the job; http://www.once.es.

I'd like a HPC entry course. Though with the second child my (and wifes) funds cant do.

Wheres Jimmy Saville when you need him. :wink: :lol:

Weird, I was just about to say that if I can't have a motorcycle jacket in my Christmas stocking I'd like Baby Spice.

My brother gave me a pre-Christmas present of a tax disc holder, just to take the Michael out of the fact I don't actually have a car to call my own at the moment.

On that note, for Christmas I'd like a car. Preferably a Lotus Exige. Please.
