Away in the manger,
Amongst all the noise under the sun,
Was Santa prepping his `new' sleigh,
A gleaming 69 Chev Camaro ZL1,

Full of gifts of all descriptions,
For all the kids near and far,
He thought to himself last years Mustang was good,
But man, this is a `real' muscle car,

One minute he was tearing up asphalt,
The next he was sideways on the grass,
Forget about the reindeer Santa,
This machine was built for hauling arse,

As he did his rounds,
Across the seven seas,
The torque was overwhelming,
And it lit the tyres up with ease,

When Santas job is over,
And we all have a bit of a rest,
Let us think of the less fortunate,
For whom everyday life is a real test,

Another year is nearly done and dusted,
Quite a few have left us this year,
Some famous names amongst them,
Whom we have read about on here,

It`s great to be able,
To read and add to what we know,
About the history of world motorsport and its people,
As the quality of most threads on here show,

To all the `gunnas' sitting around,
And the car`s in the shed with no progress showing,
The enjoyment is there to have,
If you get off your arse and get the bloody thing going!

Merry Xmas and all the best for 2014.
