	So it has come that time of year again where people will buy each other presents for various midwinter festivals, and smug people tell everyone how they aren't conformist and don't 'do' captialism, ignoring those kill joys for a while, have you found any good stocking fillers or presents for the retro rides petrol head? I've got a few, but it might up the quality of our expected hauls if we could find some more... anyway here is what I gots: Gotta have some socks... it is the law www.amazon.co.uk/Motor-Racing-Leg-ends-mens-socks/dp/B00N4000YY/ Books are always a winner Books about barn finds seem to be multiplying www.amazon.co.uk/50-Shades-Rust-Finds-Discovered/dp/0760345759/ www.amazon.co.uk/Incredible-Barn-Finds-Entertaining-Treasured/dp/1583883053 Obviously Steve McQueen is always good bet www.asos.com/Books/Steve-McQueen-Book/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4592971&cid=14436&sh=0&pge=10&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Multi&totalstyles=659&gridsize=3 Out friends at Kent Models still have the RRKM discount code active (click on images to get to product) Or maybe something a bit more mobile Knock yourself out : www.kentmodels.co.uk/1-24-Car-Model-Kits Obviously you can head into our very own store too : retrorides.tictail.com Anyone seen anything else they would like and want to spread to us

	Not retro, but very petrolhead-y, you can put someone's name on the tailfin of the 1000mph Bloodhound SSC car for just ten quid. www.bloodhoundssc.com/support-us#form Especially good for those people who say 'Oh, don't buy me anything this year'.
