2006 MotoringFile Gift Guide

Home | Interior | Exterior | Performance | Accessories, Books, etc | Audio

Welcome to our 3rd annual MotoringFile MINI Gift Guide. This year we’ve ditched the PDF format and taken it all to the web. The guide is broken up into five sections and is laid out in a wider format for more room for photos and product information. As in years past, we’ve choosen a wide array of popular gift ideas as well as some relatively obscure ones with prices ranging from free to thousands of dollars.

You can browse each section by clicking the links above. And you’ll find the same top navigation in each of the sections. And for a larger view of each gift idea, just click the image and stand back.

Happy Holidays from all of us at MotoringFile.

Very nice. I miss the pdf, but I’ll just print these pages out and leave them sitting around the house for my wife to find.

Gabe Nov 21st, 2006 Link

Thanks guys.

BTW if anyone notices links that are wrong or any crazy synax (or gasp, spelling errors) - let us know via the contact page above.

RudyT Nov 21st, 2006 Link

Where do you get the wheels that are pictured on the Detroit Tuned Big Brake Kit?

Can someone help a fellow MINI owner, who apparently is mentally challenged, find the order form for the JCW Race intake featured on the JCW site that is linked under the performance button above? I want to get one today but cannot seem to figure out a way to order one.

Try again. I updated the link to point to the category rather than the main site.

Hey Gabe, The 3 column wp layout looks great!! And the so many choices in the gift guide :)

Ginger Nov 22nd, 2006 Link

Very nice, but I’ve probably got my biggest Christmas present on order. New Cooper before January 1st. Woo hoo can’t wait!

Bilbo Baggins Nov 22nd, 2006 Link

Ohhh boy! Now I know where to send everyone when they ask what I want for christmas.

Thanks, great job.
