My personal choices from the huge selection at RallyGifts

 

There's so much to choose from in the RallyGifts site that I wouldn't know where to start but if you're looking for a gift for someone (or maybe you'd just like to treat yourself?), then you'll find plenty of choice here.
 

Books
There are books about Colin McRae, Richard Burns, Possum Bourne, Walter Röhrl, Ford Escorts (my favourites!), the Safari Rally, and rally navigation.

There's even one about peak physical fitness for motorsport enthusiasts!  Not for me, I hasten to add!  I can just about manage to walk from the car to the stage start and back again - and then I'm pooped!
 

Co-drivers
The reason we started rallycodriver.co.uk back in March 2000 was to promote co-drivers, who we believe are the salt of the earth! 

So, if you are a co-driver and want the best products to help you do the best job you can for your driver and team, check these out: co-driver watches, binders, pens, and Howard Davies' excellent book on how to be a brilliant co-driver (or whatever the title is!).  You can even buy a co-driver starter pack....  what will they think of next? (See the column to the right for a far better list than this!)
 

Videos and DVDs
There are a massive four pages of videos alone, never mind the DVDs - covering the legends from my era - Juha Kankkunen (fondly known to us at rallycodriver as Yee-haa), Pentti (we are not worthy!) Airikkala, Ari Vatanen (I remember watching him and the late, great Henri Toivonen in those snorty Mantas with the twin exhausts on the Rally of the Thousand Lakes back in the 80s - ah, halcyon days). 

I've now gone into nostalgia mood and will have to put one of these videos on immediately, so you'll just have to check out the rest of the videos for yourself.
 

Team gear
Subaru, Peugeot, Ralliart, Ford, Citroen, Skoda all have an amazing array of T-shirts, caps, gloves, key rings, lighters, shoulder bags, watches, scarves, wallets, pens, and even a mug!  There just had to be one, didn't there?
 

And more...
There are also boys' toys, clocks, calendars, some rather fine models of rally cars, and a whole section devoted to kids - or should we just agree that it's all for kids?  All of us, really!
