With the holiday season just around the corner, here are some gift suggestions for your gearhead friends and relatives who’ll appreciate something they can actually use every day.
Dashing through the show with Blaupunkt
Social media has been abuzz with so many viral videos coming from dash cams, and if you or your loved ones don’t have one, it’s time to buy one this holiday season.
It has become a necessity and not just a novelty. With so many options these days, where do you start?
Start with a brand that’s reputable like the German Blaupunkt.
If you have a multiple car garage, start with its entry level plug-and-play DVR 2.0FHD model. It weighs only about 50 grams and is compact and yet manages to record clear videos at 1080p HD.
It comes with a mic and speaker as well as a built-in 2-inch TFT LCD display that can play back instantaneously.
It accepts SD cards up to 32 GB, has a 120-degree wide viewing angle, and is equipped with an internal G-sensor with multiple sensitivity settings.
Pumping it up with OMP
Yes, there are a number of portable air compressor brands out there but none in the market branded with a label with a deep racing heritage.
From roll bars to racing apparel to seat belts, OMP has been around since the 1970s.
It was featured recently in the epic Ron Howard movie that recounted the historic rivalry of F1 champions James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
OMP is a global racing brand recognized in automotive racing and has engineered and designed a compact air compressor which has a smaller motor for less noise and vibration.
Its OMP Meccanica series air compressor provides a quick and effortless inflation of automotive, motorcycle and bicycles tires, even sporting equipment and small inflatable.
