While your 108 is hibernating, you could always perch the star atop your Christmas tree!

Happy Motoring, Mark

I dated a girl that dressed her dogs up but could never understand why i wouldn't do that to mine. Can any one guess?



Mine isn't decorated, but i drove it two days in a row after a very long time. It really is a spunky little car. I need to replace the gas tank as the filler nozzle is bent forward from when it was rear ended which makes it almost impossible to fill up. I have a tank, it's just a matter installing it.

Wreathes and bows

Fifteen years ago, I walked into a fabric store in search of some ribbon and such for Christmas. Wanted to decorate the 87 300TD wagon I had bought as a present for my wife. Quartered the car with red and gold ribbons, and big bow on the roof. Wrapped up the keys in a box and put that under the tree. Still cannot believe that I managed to keep the car under a car cover in the shop for a month before, and Linda never caught on....

Anyway, whilst looking for the ribbons, I found some faux evergreen wreaths at the fabric shop, about three inches in diameter.

Each Christmas season, I safety wire these on the hood ornaments.
I've got a couple of plain ones, and a couple that have red bows on them.

Subtle, but really cool looking.

Jim

I put on a star shaped wreath on to the 124 grille with zip-ties.

The 108 received a simple red bow on the hood star.

Well, pink is NOT the right color for the dog on the left, Al...

I like it. I love Christmas so next year I'm going to decorate the grill. I think I'll do my wife's car too.
