 <\/p>\n

1. Driving experiences
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite option at Rally School Ireland is the\u00a0325i Rally Experiance which starts at \u20ac275 for a half day; for a couple the “Race and Chase” package allows you to take each other on in 350Zs starting from \u20ac265 per person and don’t forget the kids either – they also run a junior rally driving package for anyone\u00a0aged 10+ which comes in at \u20ac130 per person. For more information visit their website.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

At Mondello first choice is the Pro Drift experience – This starts at just \u20ac119 or for the same price you can take a supercar out on track! Check out their website for more details and to order your voucher.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Classic Car Hire<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are various companies offering classic car hire – depending on what you’re looking for. Courtyard Classics<\/a> offer an Alfa Romeo Spider, Morris Minor and Datsun 280ZX among others. Prices start from \u20ac135. Retro Ventures Ireland<\/a> offer both cars and motorbikes- they also offer guided motorbike tours of Ireland. At Classic Car Hire<\/a> you can get an MGB Roadster, Mercedes 350SL or a TR6 with prices starting at \u20ac130. If you want to step back in time for a whole weekend Lazy Days<\/a> have vintage campers to rent from \u20ac115\/day off season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Stocking Fillers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Micksgarage.ie<\/a> have a range of Christmas gifts\u00a0ranging from cleaning products to sat-navs! Alternatively, the OSI shop<\/a> has a full range of maps for the whole country so you can explore every back road and to make sure you get there Irish Auto Parts <\/a>stock workshop manuals for most makes & models.<\/p>\n
