The best I got was a Tandy RC car - wasn't expecting it, was off an uncle, and it got played with continuously for years and years!

Then the next best was a Tamiya Mud Blaster, this was off my parents and the only thing which doesn't give it the top spot, was that it wasn't a suprise as I chose it.... loved it, if Tamya re-released the Mud Blaster/Monster Beetle/Original Blackfoot, id have another without giving it a second thought.

Im half tempted to get a Tamiya Subaru Brat, I had one of the original of these once too. Loved it. Hmmmmmh, wonder if I could get one with my Xmas money..... tempted now im thinking about it.... Lipo, Brushless, 2.4ghz....

Best pressie omg i cant think lol i think my best pressent it wasnt the best but i enjoyed it so much it was when i was about 8 i got a radio control suburu but it wasnt as bad as some it was pretty good well i thought it was when i got it and instead of it breaking after 2 and half days it lasted about 4 years the battery lost all its punch before the car stopped working i actually think it would work now with a new battery but i havent got it anymore. But that was good because it got me into rc yay. Worst i dont know where to start ive had so many.

Worst
Hmmmm, these are what make Christmas, being able to laugh at the crap after showing some fake appreciation.. "Just what I always wanted, an f'ing compass!"

Crappy M&S Socks that don't stay up, gather up in mi shoe around toes - they got used as dusters.

Terrys Chocolate Orange Milk Chocolate, aweful. Love the dark ones though.

Wind up torch, it'd be okay if it didn't feel so cheap.

A two person umbrella.... like I give a shit about getting wet "Ooooh my hair is curly"

A big box of superglue, cheap brand, and it was rubbish. By the time id used 2-3 tubes, the rest had gone solid in its packaging anyway.

Best present was a Kyosho Optima Mid Custom Special (closely followed by my Sinclair Spectrum).

Worst ..... well just been dealt it and don't want to talk about it .... but there is no way I could enjoy Christmas this year even if I wasn't an old scrooge anyway!!!!

Most useless ...... a lock de-icing keyring that went off whenever it felt like it. If that was in your pocket it bloody hurt ..... and if you didn't carry it with you it was never to hand when you had frozen locks .....

Blimey Ash!



Best has to be the Cougar 1 way back when, bashed and raced that car for years. Really wanted a BMX one year but never got it, was bought a racing bike instead that was nicked from outside the library Worst year was a couple back, desperately needed some socks and no bugger came through at Christmas!
