yup that time again... well actually it was his birthday last week but he hasnt had a pressy yet


what have yu had, or would like form your kids? My dad would probably love something mini/lotus/jag related, or just soething for the garage, but I cant find anyhting that I think he'd like.


I need your help guys



I know its the thought that counts.. I've been thinking about it non-stop for weeks- does that mean I dont need to buy anything?

Mini spares do gift vouchers

That's the trouble with getting to your Dad's age - He will already have most of the things he needs and the things he might want are - generally - out of the reach of his offspring.

So, it all comes down to money. A track day session would be great (and they usually allow a second driver - hint) but that isn't cheap.

More affordable and something I always enjoy (and I suspect I am a lot older than your Dad) is something unusual in the food line. Dependent on his tastes, have an Indian or Chineese or Thai take-away delivered one evening. Just remember to tell your Mum first so you don't end up with two evening meals........

If you're feeling really generous, buy him this... bit pricey though

thanks for the ideas. I did have a think about some sort of track day, but I'm going to do that next year for several reasons.

I think any kind of meal would be wasted on him

He's already got an elise and a billion other cars, he wouldnt have room even if I had the money!

It is very nice though!

Good idea, but there's no room anywhere in either garage.
