For those determined to soak up some rallying every minute of the day – including those tedious times when you're at work – help is at hand in the form of the McKlein desktop rally calendar. It won't come as an enormous surprise to learn that this product does more or less what it says on the box, by providing a calendar that sits on the top of your desk
Do you hanker after the good old days of motorsport, when sex was safe and racing was dangerous, as the legendary Sir Stirling Moss inimitably put it? Do you believe that the two biggest evils facing society at the moment are the terrible twins of 'health' and 'safety'? If so, the McKlein Motorsport Classic calendar is for you. In fact, it's for you even if you just like looking at beautiful old racing cars and don't particularly care about the nanny state
More than just a way of counting the mundane passing of the days and the months, the magnificent McKlein calendar – a bit like the one produced by Pirelli – has become a real legend. It's a Christmas present that all the drivers and team principals lust after, but thankfully you can buy it too

Jeremy Clarkson described it once as the ‘best car in the world’ so it has a tough act to live up to. On the other hand, Jeremy Clarkson presumably thinks highly of his own dress sense too, so that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
It’s not been seen in competition for a while, but Ford’s diminutive Ka was once one of the most prolific rally cars to come out of the factory, buzzing around in various one-make championships from 1997 to 2003.
There’s a commonly held view that if your name is Tony, you buy a Fiat. If your name is Cecil, you’re obviously after a Rolls Royce. But if your name happens to be Sebastien, there’s really only one car for you: the Citroen DS3 DSport.
With the legendary Audi Quattro approaching its 30th birthday, what better way to wallow in a bit of warbling five-cylinder nostalgia than another McKlein bible?
