Long time no post people but not without good reason. Potted history of the 'stuff' going on in my life :
I'm no longer with the old Mr Ton (those of you who know me will guess why).
I am with a new Mr Ton. It is his birthday next week. He has lots of money. He has an Ariel Atom sports car. He is taking his bike test. He has everything! What the fek do I buy him?
Can anyone recommend any good novice track days (must be one to one private tuition) or anywhere he could take the atom - help I'm panicking!!!! Any ideas welcome please please please!!!!

You get to play with an Ariel Atom? You jammy git! I don't do cars but if i did I'd have an Atom. Get him a f**king massive wallet, he's obviously minted. Has he got his bike yet? You could buy him a nice helmet or some bike kit or something.

hiya ton ......... sorry to hear about the break up but happy u have someone new in your life. heres wishing u all the happiness possible.
hmmm presents ................. when someone has some decent money it is really hard to buy for them cos they could buy anything they really wanted anyway. so i think u r better off going for the sentimental type pressies. what about a newspaper from the day he was born? or what about a really nice money clip? maybe even have it engraved. what about a weekend away somewhere? maybe London to see a show or something? or a mucky weekend in the lakes?
good luck!!!!!!

Hi Ton, Sorry to hear about the break up!
I have 2 friends like this and every year it's a nightmare for me to choose presents for them. They have Yaughts, bentley's, porches and ferrari's and ride Ducati 1098's. So I went onto a website called iwantoneofthose.com and it was really fun and found some good stuff. OR go with the lid idea...very personal
Good luck!!

Thanks people, some lovely ideas. In the end I spoke to him and we agreed on some new bike gloves as he's doing his test, so I got those. I also got a surprise gift too and am hoping it's here on time - some atom accessories, so fingers crossed!
I got the best Christmas pressie tho, a genuine Ducati leather jacket to match my bike - woohoo, and I am also on the insurance to drive the atom. How cool is that. I wonder how long it will take me to bin it!!!!
