best pressie I ever gave Vicki was when were were dirt broke (one income), renovating and old Villa and 3 kids .... We had to sell our beloved Sunbeam Talbot to fund the house (and the Mk5 Sunbeam Rapier) but the kids needed a roof and Vicki wanted to renovate a 'classic' house so...

Anyways, Vicki has always loved vintage MG's so i tracked down a dude who owned the nicest MG TC I ever saw and asked him if he would turn up un announced and take Vicki for a ride. The guy was great about it. I gave him a bottle of decent brandy but he wouldn't take any cash for gas or anything and he rocked up with a couple of sheepskin lined flying jackets, leather helmets / goggles the whole vintage sports car rig and took Vick for a really long spin and even let her have a go. Came back to our place for cake and photos and and took the kids (ours and next doors) for a spin around the block as well... Very decent of him to be honest!

OK, we couldn't afford a cool old car but Vicki was stoked that I'd bothered.

Kids still talk about it today, that and the famous Pirate party but thats for another day...
