Aye he does, Problem is he has got all the tools and gadgets too do with them under the sun haha I wouldn't even know what he had!

Jake. Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) I got my dad a £50 bike pump, which includes the use of those co2 canisters, and he keeps looking at them every bike shop we go to and goes to buy one and I'm like hey dad we gotta go, buy it another time. So trials owns, has your dad been looking at any specific bits in bike shops? Edited December 15, 2012 by JMCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Got my mum a dvd, a massive illustrated travel guide (hope that if she doesn't like it, me and my gf can use it), might also get her some decorations. As for my dad, I really want to get him back into model aeroplanes. He used to build these 50-60 years ago. He would actually design and build them himself and was so good at it that he was offered a job at some aeronautical company in the UK. Sadly he lost all his projects in a fire. From what I've seen, nowadays you can really only buy complete kits to build which probably isn't good enough for him. A bit stuck with this to be honest.

Sounds like the sort of thing that you could do with him? You could just set a budget aside, and do it as a father/son thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about that too but I have little manual skills and no patience. My dad on the other hand is an engraver, he's got pretty sick manual skills. I've ordered him something like this but a Spitfire since he's a huge fan of them, it's the most challenging thing I could find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
