hey guys,
my 18th is coming up, about a month, and my parents know how much i love my EB and want to get something for it for my 18th bday present.  the only problem... what! they dont want to buy like mags or springs or something because they want something to buy that i will remember bla bla bla my mum is going to take me to like autobarn or repco or something to try and find me something. the first thought that came to my mind was a steering wheel, how much are say momo steering wheels? thanks any other thoughts? cheers Daniel

Something to do with your car and something you will remember. Cant go past a nice set of tools mate! A good set will last forever and they will always come in handy!

To be honest i wouldnt (and didnt) waste my 18th present on something which you'll probably get rid of, like car. However, if youre intent on it, then a set of tools would be a great idea.

how about a satnav system? They are portable from car to car are downloadable and upgradable. Or a Road Angel to help keep you out of trouble speed camera wise anyhow. A pair of car seats, kept in good order you could sell them off later.

What about a pair of dba slotted rotors up front if the budget can stretch to a few hundred?

Go for tools, you'll keep them way longer than the car.

Tools would be a wise choice if your so inclined. I would get mods though. Or something like a TV, DVD screen combo for the car.

Tools for sure. I'd ask for a good socket set. You own an E-series Falcon so they will definitely come in handy :hihi:

As everyone here said...a good set of Tools, but make sure you go with your mum if she is the 'gift' buyer.

For my 16th 17th and 18th birthday i got cash, they'd rather i buy somthing i like then buy something i didn't.
My mates took me to the cross on my 18th, one of the best nights of my life. Can remember most of it and dammmm my pressie was good. Like suggested tools would be a top idear, i got a great sydchrome set for chrismas this year and have used it about 15 times. All of them on my mates Holdens, funny but true. |

Yeah i'd go tools. As soon as you make too many emotional links to a car it'll get stolen, burnt or crashed....or just break down lots and shit you to tears...
Can't go wrong with a 3/8" Socket set from sidchrome of kingchrome...or maybe Snap On if you want something REALLY special... -Stu

Her name was Kristy, THE HOTTEST 19 yr old iv'e ever seen. No she wasn't a hooker, just hired company/fun/entertainment for the night. Look but dont touch stuff. Me and my best mate ended up going home with 2 of the pommie bar tenders at one joint, who were actually better looking than all the striper's. For the life of me i cant remmber the second ones name or that part of the night, my mate dated one for a good 6 months till she went home. Poor bugger thought he fell in love. |
