				Gift for the guy who has everything?
			 
			
			Looking for a gift on behalf of some people, with a budget of aboutt $1000.  The recipient is a car nut... Loves racing, F1, and sports cars in general.  Also likes wine, and cycling.  He doesn't really have everything, but has more than enough dough to buy anything he wants, so creativity is what counts... 
		
	
		
	
			
				Any ideas?  |

			Look at Griot's Garage website- they have a "Tracks of the world" artwork that is really cool- Not in the $1000 range but could be part of a package of race related goodies.

			You could buy him 12 books on Spend Analysis and Specification Development Using Failure Interpretation and use the remaining $40 on chewing gum. Hay, it's an idea, didn't say it was a good one!
