Hubby's birthday is coming up in August and I want to get him something he'll like and I can't think of anything he'd like more than something for his 365. But, I'm rubbish with cars and don't know where to start! Anybody think of anything he might want?
Cheers,
Kim

Try www.ebay.com - type in the car's full name. They might well have brochures, original magazine road tests or any missing pieces. Otherwise you might wish to steer clear of 'accessories'; if your husband is anything like me he appreciates the car in its original specification.
Also look at books, any F1 memorabilia, etc.
Oh, and some dealers do an ace teddy bear that changes gear to the sound of an engine

Excellent DVD for a Ferrari nut. You may find it cheaper elsewhere. eg Amazon or checking on www.kelkoo.com

Before you laugh, the funniest thing I saw was a toilet seat (I kid you not) which was in clear plastic with a Ferrari flag and a replica miniature Ferrari F1 car entombed in it. You can buy them from the bathroom store in Monaco (forgotten the name) and they will ship them to you. Cost was 150E and several people in my group bought one.

I've never seen them anywhere else.

If you're buying for someone who owns a Ferrari - most of the associated clocks, models, etc are rubbish. Why would you want a model if you've got the real thing!?

Best one I got was an advanced driving day with a company called "ride drive". Hammering it (safely) with a police instructor.
