PRIORITY BOX EXCHANGE -- 2016 SANTA EDITION

[Dale3783]

Here's the unbelievably full box I received













What a crazy mish mosh of things. My girlfriend and I were VERY entertained, (and concerned) opening this box. She was actually excited to drink the can of Coke we found inside, only to find out it was filled, mysteriously, with bondo (?) or some other chalky, gummy substance. Great fun. Can't wait till next year

[oldskool]

Well here is what I got in my box of goodies from Gummo in NC

I just knew you'd be the best steward for my desiccated dead animal collection and embrace them as your very own.
Maybe when I come to visit them you'll make the spiced Chicken?

[south26]

It was you? You sent out 2 boxes? I got yours last year.

Long story... Don't ask. Please.

I got yours last year.

Who organized this thing anyway?

When does PBE '17 Edition begin?

Looks like we have a volunteer to head things up next year; thanks, Sherman!

IT MADE IT. All the way from leadphut.





Content report -

Cat Crap lens antifog - this will come in handy for that day next week I head to the woman's only nude beach with my mirror lens aviators on and hide in the sand dunes.
BNIplastic URO e28 interior door handle surround in black
White plastic vinyl/decal applicator
Good Luck restaurant matches (these are gunna go down a treat for my traditional NYE cigar)
Mysterious red sticker.. wtf is OK PANTS? Ok I don't have to wear them? done.
A very familiar collection of Dire Straight CD's that I believe have covered more ground than Burke and Wills, potentially commencing their journey in Phoenix, many years ago. Despite having the original collection on vinyl, this may turn out to be the final stop on their voyage as I'm a big fan.
Mystery autoradio facia of mid 60's vintage?
"Nice Cans" stubby holder. Just in time for NYE.
Lynchburg Hillcats large foam hand. Pre soiled.
A Mega Millions lottery ticket. Thanks for the retirement fund.
Supplementary BMW owners manual handbook with overseas dealer locations. This is great despite only 1 of the 8 local dealers still being in operation.
Chiltons repair and tune-up manual for BMW models ranging from 1500-2002. This is the highlight for me, it has a glorious transparent center fold of an exploded view M10 and is in excellent condition overall.
BMWCCV window sticker
Mothers paint care products
Two BMW BBS center caps of which I've yet to run the part numbers for so for the time being are unknown
And finally, a solar powered snow man that was in multiple pieces so required some assembly. I'm assuming it was meant to dance a rather entertaining and humorous jig but doesn't do so any longer. He's a long way from home, the heat is probably a bit much for him. Just wait until I take him to the beach next week, I bet that'll get those hand moving. I know mine will be.

Thanks a bunch Troy for the long distance shipment and Merry Christmas!!

I don't think these guys want this procrastinator in charge of it.

Happy to help! I should have put a note on the Coke... it was a screw top with a hidden compartment. And catnip... do NOT smoke.

I put a lot of thought into that and had fun packing it. I'm glad you were both entertained and concerned.

P.S. I hope you saved the towels to use them!

The rod is for aligning your wheels when installing them. Best thing ever. I am glad you enjoyed your box!

I cant believe he gave up my Bruce Lee signature series eyewear! WTF. Check the arms logos. BRUCE LEE. Serious Power Shades. Respect.

I finally got back from vacation and can post about the awesome box I got from 86GT635. It included:

2017 BMW calendar
Pack of 3 microfibers
Roundel and Performance BMW magazines
Flask and hand warmer (both were very useful on our Christmas day ski trip)
BMW hat
Datsun hot wheels
bag of Jolly Ranchers
speaker
Cigarette lighter (mine was missing)
Set of illuminated window switches (definitely going to replace my failing non-illuminated ones)

I really appreciate the thought that went into making this box. Thanks David!!

[south26]

So what about the ones that have not come forward?

Andy

They suck. And they should be castrated (or whatever it is they do to pussies).

[86GT635]

It's hard to believe there was anyone that didn't come forward.

Even the guy with 9 posts (sundeep) posted his loot and also delivered..

Thanks Sundeep for participating, I had my doubts. I would have stuffed more in there if you had more interaction with the forum.

[leadphut]

Who hasn't shown their loot?

[Brian in TN]

Who hasn't shown their loot?

Me. The PO hasn't delivered mine yet.

we know you'll show your loot when the time comes. maybe even before then.

[davintosh]

Me. The PO hasn't delivered mine yet.

Brian's box had a long trip, and likely some bureaucratic hurdles to cross before reaching his doorstep... I'm sure it'll be worth the wait though!

[Brian in TN]

Just received a notice that my package will be delivered today. YAY!

[Das_Prachtstrasse]

What's that about saving the best till last? I hope the customs agents fed the occupants or they'll be mighty smelly by now..

[oldskool]

Alright now, . . . Did you ship a wallaby?

[Das_Prachtstrasse]

I couldn't ship my wallaby. How else would I get to work?

[e28Sean]

I have it on good authority that wallabys do not ship well.

[Brian in TN]

Got the package, Bob. Many thanks! Will try to get pics posted soon with some help. Some really bonzer stuff in here.....except the Vomitmite. JFC how the hell does anyone eat that? Ashtray is my fav along with the plates. Did it really come from Amsterdam?

[Das_Prachtstrasse]

My pleasure, Brian! I'm pleased it finally arrived!

The ashtray is indeed authentic Amsterdam and I don't believe was ever christened so you may have the honor of doing so. For future reference, the vegemite is intended to be most enjoyable spread lightly on buttered toast. Often accompanied with cheese slices, or spread on crackers with crushed walnuts. I enjoy it on buttered bread with honey the most. Although it's too late for you personally, I'd not recommend eating it by the spoonful for the uninitiated. If you are planning on this method of consumption, video footage is appreciated.

I've somewhat forgotten what else I packed in there so I'll let the pics do the talking but I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did packing it!

[Brian in TN]

Yeah. I tried a spoonful. I decided to lick my cats ass to remove the aftertaste to no avail. Thanks.

[Karl Grau]

Will try to get pics posted soon with some help.

Lame, last time I looked, it was 2017.

[davintosh]

Well, here are the pics and videos; I'll let Brian add some colorful commentary when he has time. I'm off to a Swiss adventure for the day.
