Tis the Season

Christmas Time is Here
Ahh Yes! It's that time of year once again. Time to give the perfect gift to your loved ones. But, what if your loved one is a die-hard car fanatic? Well then, luckily I'm here to help. There are a lot of things you can give to your petrolhead, but here a few that will absolutely make him or her smile.

Road Mouse Lamborghini Murcielago LP640
1. Road Mice
When I say this, I don't mean mice that have become roadkill. I mean computer mice that have been shaped in a way to resemble one or many of your petrolhead's favorite cars. For example this Lamborghini Murcielago. Even as a computer mouse, this car looks brilliant. You can get this mouse wired (huh, as if) or wireless. When turned on, the scroller, front and rear lights will turn on. I don't think the wheels roll though because it's a laser mouse. But anyway, there you are: a gift for your petrolhead if he loves his computer as well. http://www.carmouse.com/

Scalextric James Bond 007 Pack
2. Scalextric Slot Cars
How about giving your petrolhead something that will remind him of his childhood. This is something for him then: Scalextric Slot Cars. You'll find these sets in any store that sells R/C cars. I found a whole aisle of them in Target Greatland. But, if you want something extra special you can go online to the Scalextric website and buy some exclusive models, tracks, and other useful slot car material. You can even get him this 007 special edition pack. These guys have been in the business for many years. They know how to bring out the kid in all of us.

Fathead Hot Wheels
3. Fathead
Maybe your petrolhead loves Hot Wheels, but think it's too childish to go out and buy small diecast cars. Why not give him a neat Fathead? This particular one is a Hot Wheels Twin Mill III, the third generation of one of Hot Wheels' best hot rod. He might love that. Check it out here.

AutoArt Nismo Skyline R34 GTR Gran Turismo
4. AutoArt
But, if your petrolhead loves model cars, don't waist your time with Maisto or Jada Toys. They're for babies and old idiots. Instead, give him something special. There's a company called AutoArt and they create the best model cars of all time. Do you think Maisto or even Jada Toys will give you this limited edition Gran Turismo Skyline? And, if you're lucky, you might find a Gran Turismo Ford GT in their catalog. Nonetheless, they make absolutely flawless model cars, and your petrolhead will love that.

Gran Turismo 5 Collectors Edition
5. Gran Turismo 5 Collector's Edition
Speaking of Gran Turismo, what better way to appreciate your petrolhead then by giving him the best racing simulation game of 2010? Even better than that; the collector's edition to the best racing simulation game of 2010? There are still some copies left so you better get a move on. What does he get with this special box? First and most importantly, the game. Second, a 300 page book called THE APEX, listing all 1013 cars that you can buy and drive in the game. Third, an awesome aluminum key ring with the Gran Turismo emblem engraved on it. Fourth, an awesome special edition 1:43 Scale Nissan GTR V-spec Gran Turismo model car from AutoArt. Fifth, a Gran Turismo Certificate of Authentication. Sixth and final, a DLC code giving you immediate access to 5 special edition chrome line cars from BMW, Lamborghini, Audi, Shelby, and Mercedes-Benz. What more could you want with this ideal package?

These are just 5 out of many Christmas gifts you can give to your petrolhead. Hopefully one of them will make him happy.
