Well, if any of your nearest and dearest happen to be motoring enthusiasts (or if you are and need some inspiration for hint dropping) we’ve come up with a few suggestions for perfect petrol-head presents. 

1. Perhaps the ultimate gift for petrol-heads outside of actually buying them a supercar is buying them the chance to bomb around a racing track in one. Actually, sod one, how about four of the finest, fastest cars on the market. Start off with the most famous supercar of them all the Ferrari 360 Spider, move on to the iconic Porsche 911, then how about Beckham’s favorite - the Lamborghini Gallardo – widely acclaimed as the best supercar in the world right now, and to finish what’s certain to be an unforgettable day make like Bond in an Aston Martin V8 Vantage. The Ultimate Supercar Experience is available from treatme.net for £309.
2. For a slightly less glamorous but equally thrilling driving experience how about extreme dodgems courtesy of redletterdays.co.uk.  This is an experience that will give you the chance to live out your dreams of motor racing glory with a day of competitive stock car racing complete with four practice laps, two racing heats and a championship final. To add to the excitement there’s even commentary over the PA and trophies for the best drivers of the day. Perfect for all those frustrated Lewis Hamiltons out there. 
3. How about a car bed? Perhaps one for the younger motoring enthusiast - Not on the high street.com who specialise in unusual gift ideas and personalised gifts offer Bluewell themed beds including a Lamborghini Gallardo for him and a Cinderella coach bed for her. 
4. Most keen drivers will tell you that it just aint the same without a fitting musical accompaniment to soundtrack the journey. The iTrip is a must-have addition to your in car entertainment setup – simply dock your iPod and tune the iTrip into a silent frequency on your car radio and Bob’s your uncle, you’ve got access to all your favorite playlists.
5. A nice little novelty and good karma for the fuel guzzling petrol head, the hydrogen fueled racing car available from boys stuff.co.uk is the world's smallest hydrogen-powered fuel cell car and has been nominated for the Intel Environmental award in Silicon Valley's Tech Museum. Just power up the fuelling station with water to generate about 4 minutes worth of power for this nippy little racer. This is a genuinely innovative glimpse of the future.
