Oh no, not chocolates again!

Your poor dad, what a wicked trick to play on him! It's the morning of Father's Day (Sunday 18 June) and you've given him a present to unwrap. The size, shape and weight suggest a box of chocolates and he's all prepared to feign delight. Fortunately, he doesn't have to. You've bought him the Fast Cars Book & DVD Gift Pack.

It's the perfect Father's Day present – it doesn't add to his waistline, he doesn't have to share it around and you won't hear another peep from him all day! The gift pack contains The Little Book of Fast Cars. Complementing the books on Ferrari, Porsche and MINI in the same series, The Little Book of Fast Cars contains information about 60 of the cars your dad has always dreamed of. The photographs alone are enough to give him a day-long adrenaline rush. Alongside the classic Aston Martin DB5 is the £840,000 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and the muscular Dodge Viper SRT10. Naturally, the book includes Ferraris and Porsches – six of the former, seven of the latter. The Jaguar E-Type is there, of course, as is the Morgan Aero Eight as well as rarer beasts such as the Noble M14 and the Vector WX-3 – of which just 14 were made.

With his appetite whetted, you dad can sit back and really indulge himself for three hours. The Sports Car – A Comprehensive History is the ultimate entertainment for car fans. Beginning with the classic sportscars of the 'roaring' 20s, it looks at the cars of great names such as Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin and MG before moving to the supercars of the present day – from Ferrari and Lamborghini.

Along the way, there's the engineering excellence of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche to admire, together with American legends such as the Shelby Cobra, Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge Viper.

No famous sportscar marque is left out and there's even an interactive menu of British sports car specialist plus a small bonus – which we'll keep as a surprise…

So, buy the chocolates for yourself and give your dad a present he'll really enjoy on Father's Day.
