When the twentieth handkerchief is lined up in the closet and the Danube could be blocked with perfumes, many see that the time has come to indulge their gasoline blood relative again with tried and tested success – a car surprise. Then, over time, unopened packages prove that the choice was not yet a good one: “you already have it,” “you don’t need it,” or are thrown away for other reasons. We’ve rounded up six tips with items that look good, wearable, and affordable, and even have an idea for the show.
Amber lever knob, plastic mirror for Lada – Before the regime change, it was customary to give car owners additional extras, but today trinkets are less fashionable. Everyone takes care of the things that cost more (aluminum wheels, window foils, reversing radar), or incorporated into new cars from scratch, winter gift packs for ice scrapers are trivial. Fortunately, for 5-10 thousand florins, there are already good gifts beyond the world of carbon patterned spoilers, although many of them are not intended for the car, but for the living room or for a later experience.
Car story book
Joe, I have a good idea. Let’s design a new car, “said Chief Engineer Henry Ford, who was none other than József Galamb.” an abandoned idea for a turntable built into a car, the story of a former SS officer involved in the development of the BMW 1500 and other successful models, or Elon Musk’s strange composition from one of the Bond movies. The history of the auto industry is full of strange stories.
The most interesting of them is presented in 240 pages by Krisztián Bolgár’s new book, which deals not only with scandals, but also with the effects of the automotive industry on mass culture, the birth of legendary brands and types, and maneuvers of business groups. Emphasis on the often controversial work of legendary automotive designers, engineers and managers, among whom there are a good number of Hungarians. Due to the well articulated chapters, the More than cars offered at a price of HUF 4,490 may also be of interest to those who cannot spend hours reading at the same time.
Wireless charger
It is becoming more and more common to use the phone not only for calls while driving (hands-free, of course), but also for browsing and listening to music online, which requires a lot of power. It is not enough to place the device in a visible way, but it is also advisable to charge it continuously, which is accompanied by the maceration of the cable connection. The solution is provided by wireless charging, that is, Qi functional holders, which can be plugged into the cigarette lighter only once with a string, and when they recognize an inserted phone, they start to charge automatically with 5-10, sometimes up to 20 watts of power.
Before you buy, find out if your gift device knows the Qi (or EPP) protocol and if you want to decide whether it can be mounted on a vent or suction cup on the windshield based on the car’s dash design and the driver’s taste . There is a large variation in prices, but rates of less than ten thousand forints can also be captured. (User reviews may provide some clue as to its reliability). As an alternative to mounts, wireless charging pads that can be placed in front of the gearbox may also be of interest, especially if the newer car’s touchscreen is capable of mirroring the phone.
Malév Ikarus Calendar
We also feature stunning condition, wrinkled door seal and a characteristic white, green and blue painted 350 tour bus from the Ikarus fleet, evoking the legendary common era of Hungarian vehicle production and aviation (and ground handling). at the Aeropark Ferihegy. Now, a 2021 bus calendar in Malév’s colors has appeared on the web store of the Museum of Aviation History and the non-profit cultural center, with special photo compositions showing the butlers in old-fashioned clothing, Malév. -Lada and Ikarus 55 floating in night lights. The price is pepper, 4900 HUF.
Bulb increased
It may seem unusual to have glitters not only on the Christmas tree but also under it, wrapped in decorative paper. But think about it, few have the privilege of a xenon or more modern LED headlight car, most still use halogen, which is often dimly lit on the road. Therefore, a useful gift (especially for shorter hours of sunshine in winter) can be an additional light bulb with up to 150% more brightness, depending on the design, the truly professional versions of which are available in stores for approximately 4-8000 HUF / pair, but many of them are disappointing in terms of lifespan.
Previously, we demonstrated in a light laboratory test that, like winter tires and other components, bulbs should only be selected from branded products, avoiding anonymous porters from the Far East and adapting xenon is prohibited. Of course, the type of plug (for example, H4, H7) must be adapted, and depending on the type of car, the replacement can be a simple or tortuous operation. There is another important factor, the condition of the fixture: the tired braid diffuses the light poorly and the bulb setting is worthless with a matte plastic bulb; the latter is worth polishing.
Back to the future car model
Without knowing a specific wish, it is quite risky to gift a model to a collector, but for any other car enthusiast, a miniature on top of a desk or shelf in the living room can be a treat. Particularly popular are movie vehicles like the 1:24 scale DeLorean DMC-12 from the second part of the famous Back to the Future trilogy. All doors of the approximately 7-inch metal model can be opened and the cabin is detailed, for 8,400 florins it can invite both adults and older children, even without the figure of Marty McFly and Doki.
Karting voucher
Giving a program instead of an article is really elegant, except that training in driving techniques and experience guides cost tens of thousands of guilders. What can be given from a smaller frame? Karting seems to be an obvious choice, at Silverkart for example a basic bonus for a 3×8 minute race costs 8,000 forints, at the Hungaroring Kart Center or at the Go-Kart Arena 1-2 thousand forints cheaper. Of course, due to the coronavirus epidemic, it is not possible to immediately put on a helmet, so most companies extend the validity of the vouchers for six months instead of the general three.
If you are willing to go beyond the framework defined in our article, you can bring the program to life with a time trial, but you can also choose another HUF 12,000 experience. For example, a quados tour through a ditch organized by the RMC in Törökbálint, for which beginners can also apply. Starting from a similar amount, we can spend a less busy but longer time, that is, reading newspapers. Of the annual subscriptions of the different magazines, we highlight the Retro Mobile, which deals with vintage cars and motorcycles, so that the tests and the written records of the vehicle’s history can land in our family member’s mailbox every month.
