A good driving present?
I am just about to finish 4 years of PhD (I hope!) and I was wondering what to get my tutor as a thank you. She has been amazing and really gone out
of her way to help. I thought a nice personal present might be some kind of driving experience as I don't think she will ever have done anything
like that before. Has anyone got any ideas or recommendations. The problem will almost certainly be money as I am a poor as a man who has spent all
his life as a student!
Thanks guys
Rupert

You should put in your profile where you are located. Will help with suggestions. I did a single seater driving experience at Silverstone which was
fun but having looked at the options, i wish my missus had gone for the single seaters at Rockingham instead

Is there any chance of her getting in any trouble accepting a gift from a student, that aside a mate of mine did a 1/2 day rally experiance, said it
were good, how about a hot air balloon ride

I would find out (subtlely...) if she would really appreciatea dirving experience. My SWMBO got me a Audi TT + single seater experience at Brands for
a birthday, which I really enjoyed, but there were a couple of women there too: one was really up for it, the other was disappointed that her
boyf/hubby hadn't got a day spa ticket, and she wimped out after the Audis and never got in the single seater.
Not saying your tutor wouldn't like a driving day, just she might not...
Edit: also, I would not say anything until after you get your PhD result, just to avoid any possible "bribery" issues 
P.S. good luck

Is that for her to wear whilst out on the track - might find the harness straps will chafe a bit on bare skin

If cash is tight then a passenger ride might be good unless she is already an experienced track driver. I had a ride out at Croft some time ago in
their Ginetta and it was fantastic. Didnt last long but a great experience.

How about a flying lesson? I did a Half hour one for a pressie a few years back and it was really good. was a red letter day one and about £50 i
think, which i thought was quite good value.

some places do a 50 quid 'gift' experience, you get to pick what you want from a selection. friends got me one, no idea what i'll do
but it includes pampering, hot air balloon or rally car drive.
