Christmas (Parade Float) All Wrapped Up
Posted by Gold FM on 12/12/2011
Dave McQuay spent over 7 hours wrapping up his car as a Christmas parcel for the Go Waihi Christmas Parade with Harcourts Real Estate last Saturday. And it took him over 3 hours to unwrap it afterwards. (Liking the committment Dave!)
He said he used 5 rolls of jumbo gift wrap, about 4 rolls of sticky tape and lost count of how much tinsel he used as well.
He tried to kid us that he had a 'Ferrari' under the gift wrap. ...Yeah right!
Good one Dave. Congratulations for taking out the first place prize money.
ps. You better put a Ferrari into your Christmas Wish List. That looks suspiciously like a Toyota Rav to us.
