You will receive expert tuition on just how to handle both a Mazda MX5 and a BMW E90 in drifting, then get the chance to do four laps yourself in each car. Bet you'll walk away smiling from this one.
The Fumebar Discovery 2.0 is an aluminium capsule that attaches to the cars air vents. It's vegan, free from plastic, and hypoallergenic. The Fumebar goes one step beyond a simple car air freshener as there is a rich selection of refillable scents available. We were particularly impressed with the long-lasting smell that still continued to provide a pleasance fragrance even after eight weeks.

This 801-piece Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut is a proper LEGO Technic set, which means it comes with some incredible details such as steering function, a front trunk, and even dihedral synchro-helix doors. The V8 engine even comes with moving pistons! We'd be lying if we said we weren't jealous of the recipient of this amazing gift.
It even comes in white.

Best of all, at this size you don't need a dedicated crawler track to challenge your driving skill, just a discarded egg box or a pebbly driveway will do the trick. The FTX Outlaw is capable out of the box but there's a world of upgrades just waiting for you to convince yourself you need, too.

This one is toned down quite a bit thanks to its larger grey section, and as a result looks about as muted as it's possible for McLaren merch to be. So now I can wear the team's colours with pride, while looking slightly more professional. The good times are back!

For Parkers' sister site, CAR Magazine, I commended this book as a close favourite on the monthly CAR Book Club reviews. And when I attended the Automotive Book Awards the other week, I was quite saddened to learn it didn't win anything - only a nominee for books under £50. That made me pretty sad, but it was fair to say the competition was tightly matched.
Nevertheless, if you're interested in cars, culture, photography, travel, and history, you need to read this publication. It's a paragon of pages that combines what makes the world special, and sadly, a journey you couldn't repeat today.
Pros
But for reasons that could only make sense to those that want one, it's just cool. The finish evokes that of the new 911 S/T - and even has the little '63' decal on the side, referencing 911 (or strictly speaking, 901) production beginning in 1963.
It's not something anyone necessarily needs, but if you want to add a bit of Zuffenhausen flavour to yourself or your loved one's home office setup, this is a fabulous gift to consider. Any Porsche fan is guaranteed to yearn after one of these.
