Got a really nice guy at work who is leaving to have a try at motoring journalism. He is obviously a massive petrolhead. We have clubbed in and got £100 together, anyone got any suggestions what to get as a leaving present for him? Any suggestions welcome, I am needing some inspiration.

1:18 scale models of his cars (or smaller if they are too expensive)?

Pair of Puma Speedcat (or similar) driving shoes?

They’re lovely things for driving Elise based cars in.

When I left my last job in 2016 knowing that I had 2 BMWs my colleagues bought me a BMW ICE watch. I was really pleased with that seeing as there were only 4 of them!

Not sure if that would work for the OP though.

Subscription to Pistonheads, and pocket the cash? No?

The model cars above and trackday credit works well, or find out where he gets the lotus fettled and get a voucher?

Thanks everyone. The scale models and driving gloves are looking good. If the Pumas came in yellow (vx220 is yellow those may have been a gooer if I could figure out a subtle way to get his show size, lol.)
