So, I was in garage playing with cars, and this idea came to me. Most of us are poor, whether it be we are students, or simply feeling the blow from the economy. Let's have some cheap fun this holiday season.
Here's how it works.
1. PM me your name and shipping address. At least your first name, no screen names please. If you do not have anything to send out, or cannot realistically send something out to someone within the next couple weeks, don't send me a pm. You are welcome to post in this thread after you PM me saying you are in.
2. I will scramble the names and try and set everyone up with someone geologically close to keep shipping costs down. If you don't mind shipping cross country or even over seas, put that in your pm to me so that I know you are willing to ship a further distance. You may not be receiving a gift from the same person you are sending to.
3. I will PM everyone the person's name and address that they are to send a gift to. Keep it confidential for now.
4. Pick something small to send out. Try and keep it within a padded envelope or 4 inch by 4 inch box and BMW related. It can be a clean set of roundels, an owners manual or original brochure, be creative. Don't send garbage. If it is a part of something try and make it useful. For example, clean ellipsoid lenses can be useful. An ellipsoid with a broken lens and broken tabs is not.
5. Send out your item as quickly as possible. I know this is kinda late notice, so some people may get things a couple weeks after Christmas, but let's try and make it so people are not getting things in Feb.
6. Once you receive your item, feel free to post it up on here. Now people can connect the names with the screen names. If you want to claim up to your gift, you may, but do not have to. I will not post your names up unless there is an issue with something you sent (ie. garbage, anthrax, dead animals, etc.)
Hopefully we can have some fun with this. I already know what I'm sending out!!!
Cheers and happy holidays!
