I got mine today, and I must say, I think it's GREAT!
Funny thing is I was working on the Fiero a few weekends back and didn't do something because I didn't have the plastic rivets to put it back together. Well I have them now . So... I guess my SS must be psychic.
The writing looked suspiciously like mine... but I know I'm not my own SS. The address label says from Kansas City. I thought maybe Wichita or Jstricker, but neither of them are listed on the sign up thread... I looked through the list and no one had a location in Kansas... There was one person who doesn't have a location attatched to there name so maybe my SS is Johnyrottin?
Anyways, whomever my SS is they sent me the gun for the plastic rivets and a assortment of the rivets, a luggage tag with the Fiero symbol on it, a flashlight and a Holly side scoop with the Holly label removed (which is fine with me). AWESOME!!!
Thank you Secret Santa!
P.S. I haven't opened that envelope yet... So when is it okay to look in it?
Merry Christmas!
Edit: I was cruising the list again and came across someone living in Kansas City, MO. Now, the address on the package says Kansas City, KS. The zipcode is 66118, which is Kansas City, KS. If it was infact Kansas City, MO. then that would make my Secret Santa Buddycraigg .

Got Mine today!! I received a night in a Whirlpool Suite at the RivierView Comfort Inn in LeClaire, Iowa along with $20 in LeClaire Bucks good at many establishments in LeClaire, Iowa. I'm already envisioning night out at Circa 21 ( www.circa21.com ) and then relaxing in the whirlpool at the hotel afterwards (without the kids of course ). Overall an extremely generous gift that will get used so Thank You very much and I'm serioulsy looking forward to using it.
My guess is since it's from LeClaire, Iowa that it just might be from Chris Hodson????
Thanks agian!!

We just had 18 -20 inches of snow here in Jersey. I HAD to go deliver the mail, why the heck won't yours??? I'm still fighting with the crap..
I got my SS gift yesterday. There were two things -- one was a stack of old Fiero Association magazines. The other is wrapped, and I'm not going to open it until Christmas. Tracking says my recipient got his gift, and I made a boo-boo in that I didn't cross out my name on the Click-n-ship label and write Secret Santa, so he'll know who it's from. He may not even know that it's a SS gift -- just one from a strange person.

I have recieved a picture--which my Secret Santa sent me--that means more to me than anything I have ever recieved-and I will be 60 yrs old next June. Tis a good thing you wrapped the other gift in tissue--I needed it. Right now, words escape me, but I will edit this and add more later. Thank you so much!!
<--- (pokes head into thread, though I did not play in this years reindeer game)
How did your SS get my picture?... I gave no permission for my likeness to be used. God Bless you and Jane this season.
Not you Blake--it's the BIG guy. The one with more guts and determination than I'll ever have.
I had asked myy secret santa to just make a contribution toward the Tyler Project, which he did in the form of a gift card--very generously I might add. He delivered it in person evidently, and took a picture of Tyler with it. That smile does indeed say it all!!
My secret Santa also sent me something totally unexpected--a stainless Indy Fiero logo of impeccable workmanship and quality. I love it and THANK YOU--but the picture stole the show so to speak.
I have no idea who my secret santa is-and I am not going to guess--that whole bunch up there in that part of the world is just so representative of what we here at PFF should always be, I can't get over it. What a job they all did!!
AH! you got me! I was trying to be all sneaky too sending it from the comfort inn but i didn't realize.... im pretty much the only one here who lives in LeClaire, HA. Enjoy Hope to see you at the next heartland show.
Just a FYI--CalamityJane's arrived yesterday--she got home late last night and opened it--but she'll be along later this morning to post I'm sure. She was excited!!
I was the most surprised person in the world to see that brown UPS truck drive down my dirt road. "How the heck did he ever find this place way out here???
Santa arrived with a heavy package . Hope santa gets good shipping rates Santa loaded me up with some sweet hardbounds "The great book of SPORTS CARS" & " The great book of American Convetribles", Instructional DVD for A/C diag & repair. Nice fiero tie-tac & a funky record player box truck
Thanks you Santa.

Next year, I think it should be mandantory, that we each include a little gag gift with what we send. Somthin dumb, funny, perhaps a bit ribald, useless, extremely inexpensive and something we can regift year after year.

Received what I asked for...Near mint copy of the Bumble Bee Fiero Hot Rod Magazine, MHFC Calendar, Fiero baseball cap, and a reprint of the Motor Week show on the Fiero.
Trivia question. How many different articles and ads are in the 1987 Hot Rod magazine for the Fiero?
Now to guess my SS...the magazine is addressed from Seattle, the calendar from Colorado, the return post from Pennsylvania. Be back with a quick jaunt to the member's directory to make a match..
Ooops, forgot, THANKS A LOT TO MY SECRET SANTA!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Thank you Random Task! It's a wonderful gift! It will come in handy when I finally get the bike soon. It will be too cold to ride, but it will look good.

I received my SS gifts in three parts over the course of a week. I opened them yesterday and was very surprised by what I found.
My SS either has been really paying attention or knows me. I graduated from Northwood University in 1990 with a BA in automotive marketing specializing in automotive service management. I have mentioned that I went to this institution only a few times and really do not recall mentioning this on the forum.
After a preliminary letter telling me my SS was on it's way, I received part two containing Northwood items:
I think it was Tuesday that part three arrived. I am simply impressed that my SS took the time to hand make my gift. My gift is one of the more unique items that I have received over the years. It is definately a perfect addition to the several handmade gifts and awards that my Fiero friends have given me over the years. Thank You SS. Your efforts are topnotch in my book.
It is kind of ironic to me since I took the PPG Pace Car to Northwood in October to take part in their Annual International Auto Show. It was the first time I had been back on campus since I had graduated. One of the most important things that I learned at Northwood was interacting with the Detroit atmosphere of the automotive trade. I established the knowledge of how to work around Detroit, particularly GM which has significantly enhanced the amount of contacts I have had over the years in my qwest to record as much Fiero history as I possibly can obtain. One of my Northwood exploits as a NADA Junior chapter member took me to the newly idled Fiero Plant in Spring 1989. All of the Fiero Prototypes where stored in the back of the plant at the time where I saw the 90 Fiero live for the first time. It did not look like what we have seen of the car lately. I wish I could have gotten away with a camera that day. There was stuff there that I have not seen since.
Well, anyways, Thank You SS. Your gift is sincerely appreciated. I am going to make a guess that possibly never2old sent out my gift, but am not sure.
Happy Holidays to PFF.
