Merry Christmas Everybody, learn from us! :D

[Lups]

So the weirdest thing has happened, I have gathered here in the state I've complained now for a year a great set of friends. We usually go looking for trouble together, and because my mailman didn't bring me the CF mod parts yet, I was bored.

I don't like pretty Christmas trees, they have no character. if I can't find an ugly one, in my home country that meant steal one, I rather be without. Today I was lucky enough to find an extra ugly specimen, it's it's crooked, there is a a big spot with no branches at all, it's already shedding like hell, and let's be honest, I forgot to buy decoration stuff for it.

I sent texts to my usual helpers in all things evil, picked them up, and off to pick up the fine specimen of Christmas spirit bringer we went.

Yes, I have a Q7. Yes, my friend has an excellent beater car. This was our alternative solution.

All you need is a roll of bubble wrap to cover the roof, tape it down. a cloth, so we get points for being hysterical, a pink rope is a must, since nothing works with the lines of the M4 like pink when putting a tree to the roof.

Anyway, who the hell needs an SUV when all you need is great and crazy friends, a little adventure to the nearest home depot or something. I would suggest getting petrol before doing this. It would've killed me to run out, while the car is carrying a Christmas tree.

Merry horror season everyone, just remember the stupid stuff usually ends up in tears or as the best stories. This one certainly did.

Did you fall on your ass when you saw the pics?

Yeah, I admit the Audi would've been easier, but no where near this entertaining.

Honestly, my first thought was ... "Omg, the fucking paint." But you know how anal I am about that shit. .

LOL two engineers present, nothing bad was going to happen to the car.

My tummy hurts because my entire family is ran down by a cold, and now also because of laughing.

BTW, as you can see in the photo, the eminent dread of running out of petrol did not stop us from using sports plus settings while transporting this extremely well balanced cargo.

It'll be june before I stop laughing at this stunt.

And? How do needles stay on a pine tree at 85 mph?

Dude my shotgun rider started screaming if the needle neared 20. "ANNA YOU'RE RUINING YOUR FUCKING CAR AND THEN THE WORLD WILL COLLAPSE."

People rolled down their windows and took pics of us. I don't get it, it's not like no one else hasn't before strapped a tree on an M4.

I think you are confused. Previous people have wrapped their M4s around trees. You did it the wrong way....

Anyway, that was the worst tie down job in history. Well done

Always a critic aren't you! I was told not to pick the rope by color, but I could not resist. A friend of mine just got his E92 wrapped in pink matte, and after that epic fail I've made sure to include pink into every pic ever taken.

2km trip home. the tree was fine like that, and actually it was indeed tied pretty damn good. (we didn't do it, the tree man did it for us. Kept shaking his head because of the rope).

I think I now hold the record of how fast the car has been driven while carrying a tree. The record of how fast you were going when hitting the tree can be left without an entry made by me for all I care.

And here is a shot of my great installation job!

My son decorated it, it's his bride and joy, a dinosaur car, the trees price tag, and of course the rear wheels of that treasured car of his.

Thanks man, I think it's funny the price went up when he realized I was never going to want anything pretty. That will make me laugh for years to come again.

Hahaa, this is a a way too, I admit it Goldie (I still read your nick as the Goldfinger every bloody time)!

I went to three places selling trees, just find the poor thing that no one else would buy. A plastic one would be too perfect and they usually even stay up, which you must admit takes away much of the excitement! Today I have to go buys toy cars and decorate the tree with them, my son had the right ode how to make that even more personal looking one and why the hell not, who says tree has to look good when it can be silly.

I wish you the best of Christmases Goldie, maybe next year you get back to the dark side and show us a better way to do this.

Can't wait for the pics on the transportation!

We didn't bother with a tree at all till kids. I think those teeny poop machines turn us into softies no leather cleaner will be able to do!

Lups you are awesome, I see there are others like me out here who actually used their car for anything needed.

[Doctor///M]

Hope you filled Peter up this morning our Mini Cooper did the hauling for us this year. Instead of bubble wrap, we bagged the tree and strapped it on to the roof!
