    That rally driving stuff looks awesome.
    If driving time is already handled, every fanatic needs choice new sticky (or knobby) tires, perhaps even mounted on some new rims.

            Sounds like you have covered what to get your fanatic(s). I really think we should be sending our sig others to you for advice. Not giving it.

                  One of them is getting a great new tool . . . something all you fanatics want but I can't post what it is incase he pops in on thread =) will tell after. You are so correct, though, never enough tools.

                    That sounds wicked. I will buy those cool things for my boy when he gets out of the USMC and is setting up house.

                          Guten Parts gift certificates. Some custom vinyl decals for the track cars (their names). New helmets for the track stuff, or nice harnesses for the cars. GoPro (or similar) cameras. Wheel studs. A nice photo shoot for their cars.

                          Kudos to you for asking advice on this stuff. I always tell my family what I want for E30 stuff...and I usually still don't get it!

                                The older fanatic got one for his rebuild he loves and I got the young fanatic a sweet shifter knob from Germany last year.
