I want one of those – fast and furious father's day gifts

1 April 2009

Aren't dads great? They spend half your life telling you to act your age and then the other half not acting theirs. They're like big kids, full of interesting facts and strange observations and they know what they like, what they don't like and what they want to watch on the telly.

A dad is usually someone you're unable to argue with. You might have tried to argue with him as a teenager but his will is always greater than your own. It's possibly your mum who is to blame for that. Years of banter have got him well trained as a sarcasm combatant. He knows how to get the last word in and the last laugh. It can make him all the more lovable though!

Father's Day Gifts

So, if you're wracking your brain for Father's Day Gifts that will really come as a surprise, you shouldn't worry. He's either got a good idea what you're getting him already because he knows you so well, or he'll love it anyway because you know him so well.

Along with being incredibly childish, Dad's are inherently boyish. That makes most of us turn to those old standards – the sports gifts, men's grooming kits, things related to manly pursuits like hiking and brewing or ... in some cases cars.

Cars have been an obsession for men since they were first invented. Motor cars were bought by wealthy gentlemen in the 1900's when Henry Ford started the first ever production line and blokes just haven't looked back.

Of course, originally cars could only go at 4 miles an hour and you had to have someone up front waving a flag in case you mowed down any poor souls who couldn't see your smug smile or hear you over enthusiastically tooting your horn. These days things are quite obviously different and cars can go faster than we'd ever dreamed.

A surprisingly high number of dads go crazy for cars. Does your dad love watching Top Gear? Does he dream of owning makes and styles of car you forget as soon as you've heard them? If so, chances are that your dad is car mad.

Car mad dads usually like driving incredibly fast down inappropriate roads - (A roads, country lanes, suburban streets) and they take corners at break neck speeds too, far more frequently than they need to. So, with that in mind why not get your daddy some fast and furious Father's Day Gifts and leave all his other presents in the dust?

Experience Days

Something that all dads seem to revel in is a sense of adventure. So an adventure or experience day could be just what the mechanic ordered to fuel your father's fun and excitement. The best thing about car experience days is that there are so many different types. Whatever type of car fan your daddy is, there's bound to be something that will make him grin from ear to ear.

Outrageous Rides

Father's day gifts need to be special. Some of the cars you can let him ride are incredible. It's definitely worth researching experience days. There's even a monster truck experience, get that? MONSTER TRUCK, those massive off road monster cars that can drive over other cars. Can you imagine him driving one of those? That could be the stuff of dreams or of nightmares!

What about whizzing around a track in a yellow Lamborghini, or Aston Martin like James Bond? I'm sure your dad's no Daniel Craig but he can pretend to be for the day. Not impressive enough? How about driving a tank? Yes, a tank. There are experience days where your dad could be allowed to drive an armoured carrier and fly a plane in the same day. It's jaw dropping.

The only limit seems to be your imagination when it comes to gifts for father's day. Driving days are great coupled with trips to see a real race or other cool car gifts. They can provide your car mad dad with a memory to cherish forever and ever. It's not uncommon for several brothers and sisters to club together to get a gift and dads can be really grateful for the chance to get behind the wheel of an awesome speed machine.

Making Memories

Regardless of whether or not a car adventure day seems like a good idea, one of the most important things is having fun. Whatever Father's Day Gifts your dad receives try to take photos or get mementos so that he'll remember what a lovely day he's had with you.

And, if he does end up speeding around a track at Silverstone, consider filming his circuits and putting them on the internet for friends and relatives to share.
