Buying for a car lover
A true enthusiast usually has the basics, so go for something with a story: a diecast of a dream car, a Lego Technic build or a day on a circuit.
Experiences usually beat accessories here.
Buying for your dad
Gifts for a dad work best when they are practical and personal. Choose something he will use, then add a line about a memory.
Time together is often the real request.
