Struggling to think of what Christmas card give your other half or friend who loves Lamborghinis? Look no further than…Lamborghini.
The makers of some of the maddest supercars around have gone a bit festive this Noël and released the limited edition Christmas Collezione Lamborghini.
The collection consists of packs of three Lamborghini ceramic baubles, which come in a choice of four genuine Lambo colours; Arancio Borealis Orange, Telesto Grey, Midas Yellow and Noctis Black.
Two slow-burning candles - one large and one small - are also available and have the Lamborghini shield imprinted on one side. If they were scented, I'd like to think they would be an infusion of burnt rubber and high-octane fuel.
The answer to your Christmas card woes is, of course, a pack of 20 cards sporting pictures of the €1 million Reventón, perhaps attached to a 2008 Lamborghini calendar if you're feeling generous.
You can see the complete Christmas collection and other potential gifts – which include scarves, gloves, and jackets, along with colouring books and t-shirts for the children – at your nearest Lamborghini dealership, be it London, Birmingham, Manchester or Edinburgh. Alternatively, you can see what's available online at www.lamborghini-store.co.uk

Asics Inner Muscle Revolutionises Sport Clothing
High end sports clothing has recently gone down the route of tight elastic tops and shorts that initially appear about 4 sizes too small for the athlete.

Did Russian billionaire buy 496 million euro property?
Recently, it was reported that Villa Leopolda was sold to a Russian billionaire for just under 500 million euros. It soon revealed that Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov was behind the sale. As is the habit with Russian oligarchs, Prokhorov made his billions in precious metals. In 2007 he launched a $17 billion private investment fund, so he was definitely wealthy enough to purchase the property.
