antz Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 what can i buy my dad for his birthday? he is the sorta man who has no idea what he wants and im stuck i would buy him a car model but he has over 500 already he has cds, dvds and deodorant coming out of his ears! i was thinking either something for his escort or his off road suzuki jimny but i cant find anything that shouts out BUY ME or that i can afford. does anyone have any ideas?
mk2_escort_chick Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Got a nice pic of his escy? Get Mighty Sprocket to do a canvas-they're sh!t hot
omj624p Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Balloon ride, parachute jump, airplane lesson, track time? Something he wont forget. (especially if he breaks a leg!!!)

Sorry, seriously now. Does he work on his cars himself? How about something tool related? Or something he fancies upgrading on the escort?
Toby Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 A little sales story..... You're selling ties on a door to door basis, one person opens his door and says - sorry mate, I don't wear ties. The next person opens the door and says - No thanks mate I've got loads of ties!! Which one are you going to sell a tie to?? Exactly!! Another car model - he must like them he has 500!!! The Red Letter day idea is good, especially if the family club together and go out for a day, as said, a day to remember
oldskoolfred Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 you said he has an off roader right ..... what about one of these hanging off his rear diff !!!!!!! http://www.trucknutz.com/
