TOTALLY SPEECHLESS !!! - Just received my JW Xmas present

[Jabba]

What can I say but an almighty MEGA THANK YOU to everyone that contributed to this wonderful Xmas present that I received today.

Apart from the fact that this model of the wonderful F50 is simply stunning and something that I will treasure forever....I was incredibly touched that so many of you went to this much trouble for me.

Special thanks as always to the wonderful MR TT for sorting everything out and taking care of the amazingly fast shipping (took less than 24 hours to get here)

I will say a Global THANK YOU here to everyone and then be sending out PM'S to everyone over the next few days.

Let me be the first to reply :D

I am relieved it arrived hyper-quick and safe! And happy you like it :D Funny how you first placed it between your models to take the pics, as if you sniffed something :D

I hope you will be able to put it together.. should be pretty quick as only a couple of parts need to be screwed and will post pics of the finished thing!

it was hard to part from it the other day :D

Thank to all the others for making this possible!

[Jabba]

That is the "gift desk" used to take pictures of all incoming and outgoing JW gifts..LOL

I sure am looking forward to taking the F50 home and putting it together over Xmas before finding it a good home.

[Anonymous]

HEHEHE, glad to see you liked it :D, I love seeing people recieve their presents and so quick too.. I feared i wouldn't be here when you got it...... really all came together after spending quite a while researching different options :wink: ..... No matter what we bought ya it wouldn't repay the gift you gave us when you set up JW 8)

[Stingray]

I'm glad you like it and that it got there so quickly/in 1 piece..

now just be sure to run that engine in properly :D

[dropot2]

Happy to see that the long discussions about which presents would be the best ones have hit the mark. :D
Waiting for some pics of your new toy finished! :D

[TT]

For once they did a good job :)

Thanks to TNT Express service ;)

[No.1]

Glad you liked the model Jabba :D

Sadly, i didn't contribute, but being a broke 16yo isn't much fun for me either :wink:

I hope to be able to contribute next year :D

[abbor]

Same here, as a broke 18yo, I'm sad to say I couldn't contribute.. :?

[Evo]

I feel really happy that you liked it Jabba.. :mrgreen: ...

[graywolf624]

Glad you liked it jabba.
Hopefully some day we can see a picture with it on top of a real one:).

[yg60m]

Have a nice and happy X-mas in advance Jabba. Glad to see that you like it :D
We have a special thought for you :wink:

[gis]

Im so glad you like it Jabba.its the least we could do for the ammount of things you giv and have done for us all here.

Merry christmas Jabba :D

[BADMIHAI]

That looks fucking awesome! Merry Christmas, J! 8)

[666fast]

Merry Christmas Jabba! LOL

Great Job guys! Who would have thought it would arrive in less than 24 hours? LOL

[racer_f50]

Merry X-mas Jabba! Glad you like the gift :D

[FoxFour]

now just be sure to run that engine in properly :D

And make sure you season the pads and rotors properly!

[TransAm]

Aye, merry xmas Jabba, and glad that you liked the gift.

I was glad to contribute as a way of saying thanks for hosting all the Top Gear that I would otherwise be missing out on!

Thanks as well to Matteo for sorting it all out. 8)

[ZfrkS62]

Merry Christmas Jabba! it was quite fun pooling ideas to figure out what to get you :D Too bad we couldn't have seen your face when you opened it, but i think we all figure that its going to take a team of skilled plastic surgeons at LEAST 10 hours to remove the grin that is more than likely plastered to your face 8)

Glad to see it arrived safe and sound, and that you enjoyed it.

[gigdy]

Id like to say that no gift we could get you could really show our thanks.

[sikx5]

Glad to see it arrived, Now we need the real thing :wink:

[fedezyl]

Merry Christmas Jabba!! it is definetely a great model!! Merry Xmas to everyone!

Maybe your next years xmas present would be the real one...hehe :D :D

[SFDMALEX]

Merry Christmas Jabba. Glad to see that you like it, this is the first time I see a pick of it :lol:

Make sure that you show us pic's of it the moment you assembled it :D

[SilviaEvo]

CONGRATS!

it looks marvelous! maybe next year ill know to chip in :oops: :oops: :oops: but Merry Christmas

[Toronto]

hey just in time for the last day of hanukkah!!!!!!
hope you enjoy it!! :D

[Vansquish]

Glad you like it Jabba, hope it keeps you smilin' :-) Still, the model is a poor attempt at expressing our gratitude to you. Thanks a million man.

[Pimp Racer]

Oh man I never knew about this I would have been happy to help!

[deth]

Merry Christmas Jabba, and I hope you enjoy the present as much as we all enjoy JW! (if thats at all possible! :wink: )

[tanelvali]

Most excellent present. I feel bad that i've been away from the phorum and could not participate in this project. Still, have a wonderful and merry christmas. Hopefully with some snow also coming from the skies. Dont know about UK but we dont seem to have any snow here in estonia this year. never seen that before.

[novass]

Merry Christmas Jabba!!! It was the very least we could do to express our thanks for the forum youve created and everything youve shared with us never asking anything in return. For us it is like Christmas all the time here :D

Merry Christmas!!!

[blah]

Just a small price to pay to say thank you for such a great site. To bad we couldnt get you the real thing. :cry: Hey theres always next Xmas. :wink:

[tanelvali]

if there were 100 000 registered users and each would contribute 10 EUR, this would be possible.

[dingo]

I was more then happy to contribute to this present....its the least you deserve for all that you provide for us. :D
As the others have said, I'm glad you like it and that it arrived so promptly. :D
Merry Xmas Jabba. :wink:

[stradale]

Glad you like the present, Jabba! :D As others have already pointed out, it's the least we could do to express our gratitude for what you have created here. Thanks!

Enjoy the model and please post pics when you've fully assembled it!

[ARMAN]

Merry Xmas Jabba! We're glad you like it. Its just a little "thank you" gift from all of us :wink:

[saadie]

holy smokes ...... congrats jabba .... looks like ya haveta celebrate xmax earlier this year :P ..... i was out fer two days and the first thing i see is this ... its aawsome ... 8) 8)

[topgeartom]

Glad to see it has arrived safe, i hope you get many hours enjoyment from it.

I would have really liked to contribute, and even set up a paypal account for the purpose, but I am an incredibly lazy, slack, 16 yr old, and money is a rare commodity for me - when is your birthday? :D

.:EDIT:. ohh i forgot, it's also cos im a Yorkshireman :P

[antonioledesma]

It's great you liked your gift jabba. the contribution was meaningless compared to the "service" of this community and more things

merry xmas big guy. I'll be expecting some pics of the f50 finished

and of course, TT was the criminal mind that pulled this gift, w/o him we could not do it

[jon_s]

Hahaha, quality, an early X-mass present 8)

Glad you like it>!

[sameerrao]

Jabster, Glad you liked it! You deserve this and so much more for giving us JW ...

Echoing the others thoughts, hope you get a brilliant business opportunity in 2005 and be able to buy the 1:1 version of the same :)

Lots of credit goes to Senor TT for co-ordinating all this ...

[Toronto]

Jabba could we see some pics of the gift out of the box??

[Jabba]

Well I am leaving it in my office for the moment so that everyone can see it and ask where it came from etc...(I am loving telling everyone all about it)

Then I will be taking it home for Xmas where I will start work on it...and then you can expect more pictures than you could ever wish to see.

HEHE, So JW is famous at your work now and so are we :D ..... how many times have you had to explain the Jabba bit now :P

[scubywrxr]

Merry Christmas Jabba :D I know u love the Ferrari, Thanks for many happy hours on JW!

PS TT, You are the "Number One" on JW, thanks for all the effort in getting the F50 to Jabba asap... over and above everyone elses contribution i.e.

[nthfinity]

merry christmas Jabba!

thanks TT for getting this all set up too, w/out him, it maynot have been possible 8)
im absolutely glad you like it! ~definately cool to talk about JW at work ;)

i cant waite to see the fully assembled scale masterpiece!

thanks a million for your hard work, and giving spirit :D

[DMbaseball1604]

Merry Christmas! glad you like it, can't wait to see more pics!

[coombsie66]

I await the complex 'build pics' and a 'how to' ofcourse :wink: :P

Glad you like it, and IMO it is simply the done thing, considering the amount of time and hard work you put into JW to make it the wonderfull place that it has grown to be.
A huge thankyou to TT as well for organising it all,

And finally, i just broke up for my christmas break, and i'd like to wish everyone on JW a very merry christmas and a happy new year. :D :D :D

[ARMAN]

Forgot to say that without TT it would not happen so fast and coorditated :wink:

[jon_s]

Looking forward to the development pics! 8) 8)

[1zippo1]

Cool to hear that the package arrived safely to you :D

and I'm glad you enjoy the present! For the very fucking first time in like euhm ... allmost 3 years I've been able to do a very small thing in return for all that you've done for me. So it's still me who should be saying thx :wink:

Mery X-mas Jabba & enjoy the gift 8)

[mendocino]

LOL! Just realize you already got it!!! :D MERRY CHRISTMAS then!!!!! hope you'll like it!! and maybe that will push the idea of getting a real one, engine inside!! :D

[PATo355]

Lovely gift , gr8 job guys !!!! And Merry Xmas to Jabba and all Jabbasworld members :D

[kenezzite]

Merry Christmas, man i'm so jealous.

[ARMAN]

[WhiteP]

Just knew that you've received it :D Glad you like it!!

[DeMoN]

That looks great! You got some work to do though before we can see the final product! Im glad you liked it!

Im going to be the last to show the present since I go back to the US the 9th lol. Indeed a great job done by TT on putting up another forum just for your gift.

[TT]

The extra forum wouldn't have been possible without Dan ;)

BTW, dont't want to be picky, but some ppl still didn't pay.. It's not a prob, I already predicted it, but I fear this will be considered for the future JW presents ;)
If they could just let me know via PM they didn't forget but just changed their mind, I will surely understand, but at least we could finalize that list :D it's about time :D

Euhm, silly question, but I hope you recieved the money I send? I could check it on the extra forum but I kinda lost the url so ... :oops:
Just asking to be sure.

Thx again for having done the effort to arrange all of this!!

[MIHALS]

Normaly I don't visit chat forum, but I'm here just for this reason :) . I'm glad too that you like our gift and looking forward to see it in one piece :!: When I get to the UK, I'll let you know and will come to have a look at your beauties :mrgreen: :roll:

[ARMAN]

[MIHALS]

[LotusGT1]

Little late, but I'm glad you like it Jabba. And I'm happy it arrived so quickly....

[DeMoN]

Now that Im back with fast internet, I wanted to see the end product... seems the big daddy is kind of heavily tasked huh? Or has he posted the end product somewhere else in another thread?
