Car Gifts at CAAGIS

Looking for a site which sells a wide range of car themed gifts?

CAAGIS are offering FREE UK DELIVERY on all orders over £40 for all customers. Offer expires on 31st July 2009.

CAAGIS.com is a specialist cars gift web site who have sourced just about every car gift available it seems, putting them onto one great site. Do not be confused with car accessory sites, CAAGIS is an Aladdin’s Cave of car gifts and is now (apparently) firmly established as the UK’s leading web site purely dedicated to car themed gifts. CAAGIS offer low cost delivery from £3.95 on all products!! International delivery available.

Although reasonably pretty to look at, the CAAGIS car gifts site looks a bit dated; which is a shame for a fairly new web site! There are lots of styling improvements which could be made for example. On a positive note the ‘zoom’ feature on the products detail page is fast and clear – good job!

The buying process is simple and easy although I’m not a fan of WorldPay personally.

there is a good selection of car gifts, the cuff links I like especially.


Thruxton Race Track web site

Saturday, June 13th, 2009



Thruxton Motorsport Centre, Hampshire

Can I book a trackday at Thruxton?

Once you get past the awful video on the Thruxton Motorsport Centre home page (there is a better internal home page) the site is good; its clean and modern looking with cool roll over effects when considering which sports car you want to drive around Thruxton circuit.

There is also loads of choice of super cars to drive, and the booking process looks dead easy.

Be warned; Thruxton is a really FAST track!

This is my local track, and I’ve watched lots of racing here, most recently the BSB boys (British Superbikes). High average top speeds and fast crashes. Fortunately the Thruxton circuit give you ample training before unleashing you on the trackday

AutoExpress rated the Thruxton track highly in ‘06 as a ‘best buy’ too

Dad driving experience days

Great trackday ideas for Father’s Day


Always worth keeping an eye on this trackdays web site; Buyagift.co.uk regularly updates their content and adds new offers. At the time of posting this blog, Father’s Day is rapidly approaching! My Dad is bobbing about in the Arctic on an adventure holiday (!!!) but your’s might be interested in something closer to home, thrashing a supercar around a race track on a trackday for example! I’ve grouped some Father’s Day trackday ideas below, which might be useful – the trackday voucher does come in a snazzy aluminum presentation box too, so looks pretty cool.

» Silverstone Choice Voucher for Two – £149 (Save £100)

» Buyagift Exclusive: Special offer Supercars – £75
» Personalised Football Archive Books – £49
» Harness Sphereing for Two Father’s Day Offer – £47.50
» 25% off personalised Top Gear posters – £59

The page is rather in-your-face with lots there, but it is pretty easy to navigate your ways about and find an interesting offer. Clicking a trackday driving category that interests you opens up a list of matching driving experience days for you to choose from. Selecting a trackday driving day opens the details page which is well put together with plenty of information, maps pictures and a description of the car you’ll be driving how the day pans out and information on the circuit you’ll be bombing about on. Not only do you get a clear view on the price but also reviews from other Dad’s who went on the trackday.

If you’re looking for two wheeled action on a motorcycle trackday, Buyagift.co.uk run a bike trackday at Scotland’s Knockhill circuit. Click Here to visit the Knockhill motorbike trackday info page.
