We’d like to introduce the MotoringFile 2004 Holiday Gift Guide downloadable PDF. Instead of just posting a few gift ideas like we did last year we’ve created a downloadable PDF that can be read off-line, printed, or emailed easily. Of course the best part; it’s much easier to print out and hand someone for gift ideas!
Within the guide we suggest over 30 different gifts for the MINI enthusiast from $15 to almost $800. Like last year we wanted to keep our suggestions within reason for most out there while maintaining a wide selection of gift ideas. From apparel to cold air intakes we’ve tried to include many different aspects of the accessories available for the MINI and the enthusiast.
You can download the file by clicking on the image above. Please only download the file once.

<p>Great PDF, Gabe. I love the design and it contains lots of great MINI gift ideas. :)</p>
<p>Gabe, that's pretty impressive…you should use that catalog on the front of your resume to show off your skills.</p>
<p>Is this a sign of things to come here? You had mentioned a pdf version of motoringfile…</p>
<p>Gabe, this is really a great looking pdf, and great layout. very good idea.</p>
<p>Hi Gabe,</p>
<p>no offense, but you mispelled GUIDE on the cover…</p>
<p>I didn't hold that against you though! Great job, and thanks! Keep up the great design. (As a graphic designer myself, I am prone to the occasional mispelled word too).</p>
<p>Gabe,</p>
<p>Holiday Gift Guide looks great. Don't sweat the misspelled word. Looks like Jon misspelled the word as well.</p>
<p>Bob</p>
<p>sorry about that – that was fixed awhile ago but the new version didn't get uploaded.</p>
<p>Well it's now a collector's item, think I'll put it on eBay .</p>
<p>Seriously, well done Gabe, that should be a great portfolio builder in your job search.</p>
<p>Handsome catalog Gabe
head and sholders from a design aspect over most of what is stuffing my mailbox this month… well done
my vote for the best item under $200 goes to the $40 auto up gadget

I say thank you Ian as I drive off from evey toll booth… even more so as winter approaches</p>
<p>Once again, Gabe has put his Advanced Layout & Design tallents to benefit the MINI community!</p>
<p>Is it the 2004 or 2005 guide? 8^)</p>
<p>terrific!!! I love it :D</p>
<p>Wow! This is the best looking MINI catalog by far! And chock full of wonderful Xmas MINI ideas. How do you guys do it? Amazing.</p>

<p>Beautiful work Gabe … only one small problem – my stock of MINI circuits is just about zero, so I hope everyone that reads this already has one ;)</p>
<p>Great catalog. I'll offer one suggestion for improvement: put an appendix at the end that lists the suppliers/vendors. If this is done, then someone with a printed copy could type in the URL without having to search first.</p>
<p>…hey Gabe,or for that matter,anyone;am I the only one at this site who is watching this Discovery Channel Show called,”The Kustomizer.”
…these guys are building a,”Double-Headed,MINI Limo.”
…It's very cool,people.</p>
<p>A vendor index has been added to the PDF! Great suggestion.</p>
<p>Thanks for all. Small donation sent</p>
<p>Dillion,</p>
<p>I Tivo'd the Kustomizer last night and will watch it when I get home tonight. The double headed MINI looks interesting.</p>
<p>Bob</p>
<p>I think the Dinan intake is mis-priced in the PDF. List price is $250. I paid $225 at a BMW/MINI dealership. The PDF shows $400.</p>
<p>yes – it's actually $249.</p>
<p>Nice looking guide, you're just missing a Jack for early 'S' buyers… :)</p>
<p>But my question is, where did you get the picture for the last page?</p>
<p>Gabe, I can't even believe I missed this before you finished. That's what I get for burying myself in the L.A. garment district. Maybe you can consider the MINI Pajamas for the next update or next year.
So far,people are ecstatic about them. Maybe you might review them??</p>
<p>Yeah I feel like I'm late to the party too Jeff! I'd love to see my VacuCams there too since at $99 it's one of the best values for shooting video from the MINI.</p>
Gabe, so sorry about this year’s (2005) gift guide. Yeah, I know this is the 2004 guide site, but I’m looking for info about the walnut dash kit and I thought someone might mention it. I have a velvet red, white top, cordoba interior MINI and thought the walnut dash and cvt shift would look pretty cool. However, the dealer doesn’t list it (except for price) and I thought may be you (or someone) might have a picture of what it looked like and an opinion or two about it. Thanks, Chris
Gabe, any chance to see a 2006 guide? 🙂
