Van's Holiday shopping list, Part 4

If there's a Jimmie Johnson fan on your list, they have extra reason to celebrate this season. There are dozens of new 2006 Championship commemorative items that will make the perfect gift for any JJ fan.

Here are a few of my personal favorites:

	SUPERSTORE •   Visit the Holiday Gift Center!

• Motorsports Authentics Jimmie Johnson NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship Die-cast: This detailed 1:24 scale die-cast replica features Johnson's regular paint scheme, but the deck lid of the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet is adorned with the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Championship logo. It has an all die-cast body and chassis; opening hood, deck lid and roof flaps; detailed fuel compartment; disc brake assembly; simulated exhaust openings; aero design wheels; manufacturer-specific engine detail with valve covers; rear window funnel access; tampo-graphics; high quality paint; and many more features.

Please note: This die-cast won't be delivered in time for Christmas; it is scheduled for release in February or March. However, you can pre-order now and present the recipient with a card letting he or she know they'll be among the first to receive this historic die-cast.

• Chase Authentics '06 Nextel Cup Champion Victory Lane Cap: This cotton twill cap is designed with the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion logo embroidered on the crown, and the Jimmie Johnson's name and car number embroidered on the back above the closure. One size fits all.

• JH Design Nextel Cup Championship Leather Jacket: Nobody does leather like JH Design. This jacket is designed in Lowe's team colors and logos. Lettering on both front and back boldly proclaim Johnson as this year's Champion.

• Mounted Memories Championship Photo & Race-used Tire: Mounted Memories is the premier source of authentic event-used sports memorabilia. Limited to only 548 pieces, this stunning photograph includes an actual piece of race-used tire from the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion's winning car. The 15" x 17" x 2" double matted and framed piece also features a glossy 8" x 10" photo from his championship-clinching performance, and includes a verification of authenticity.

• Wincraft Championship Auto Fan Pack: Nobody has a more diverse line of championship commemorative merchandise than Wincraft. The popular auto fan pack consists of a standard size license plate, removable and reusable ultra decals, and a 3" x 12" bumper strip. Each item is decorated in the Lowe's colors and displays driver, team and 2006 championship graphics.

• Mounted Memories Championship Race-used Parts Display: OK, Mounted Memories has outdone themselves here. This piece gets bonus points for outstanding creativity. Can you tell this is my absolute favorite? This collectible is a limited edition of 100 and displays five race-used parts from the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion. The 9" x 6" x 5" acrylic display case is laser-engraved with the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion logo, Jimmie's facsimile signature, and the Hendrick logo. The championship components displayed include: a race-used spark plug, lifter, valve spring, push rod, and sheet metal.

• JEBCO Plastic Molded Championship Thermometer: Yes, Jimmie Johnson was on a hot streak during the closing weeks of the Chase. Just how hot? Perhaps the JEBCO Championship thermometer might be the best way to determine that. The oval thermometer is made of high gloss plastic and has a durable molded plastic base. The easy-to-read thermometer ranges from -40 to 120° F. This low glare and fade resistant thermometer displays an image of the driver, his name, car number, replica signature and the 2006 NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion logo.

• Hi-Rev Championship Tribute Hood: All original artwork is featured on this unique 1:4 scale Tribute Hood from Hi-Rev. The hood is made of durable 30-gauge aluminum and has built in hangers for easy display. This beautifully collectible hood is designed using a high-end printing method for vibrant color.
