Who are they? Kimi's official website and his fanclub's online presence.
What do they do? Fanclub memberships (and you can only buy merchandise once you've joined the fanclub - so you need to go here first). On joining you get some gear as part of your welcome pack, then occasional newsletters across the year.
What don't they do? Newsletters can be a bit slow in coming, and the clothing range can be a bit slow updating from one year to the next, but it's generally good funky gear and something you'd be proud to be seen in. They don't really do much merchandise apart from the clothing either, which is a shame.
KIMI::STUFF top tip: Keep an eye open for the new gear - the last lot was very cool colourful stuff.

Who are they? They're only the hugest online auction site in the world. Some things you can bid on, others have "Buy Now" prices.
What do they do? Signed caps, signed photos, signed everything really... and old/rare merchandise, model cars, some pretty upsetting homemade things like coasters, "novelty £10 notes" and fridge-magnets - pretty much anything I suppose. I've found by customising and saving certain searches ('Raikkonen', 'Raikkonen Minichamps', 'McLaren' and so-on) I can keep up to date on all my areas of interest pretty easily. It can be a bit of a jungle otherwise!
What don't they do? Probably nothing....
KIMI::STUFF top tip: Know what you want and know what you're prepared to spend on it. Check out sellers' ratings and feedback. Be patient - some items WILL come around again if you miss out first time. Get to know your favourite sellers - they may be happy to look out for particular things for you... Oh, and another top tip - you can still get a 1/43 Nick Heidfeld McLaren MP4-13 here for a very decent price if you look around a bit.

Who are they? Bob's Models to you and me. From Solihull.
What do they do? Model cars - mainly Minichamps. Big range, frequently updated website. Order online and get the model delivered next day usually. They're incredibly helpful, almost impossibly fast on delivering stuff and take great care packing it up too - also their prices are really competitive, and there's usually a couple of goodies to be found on their bargains page: I really can't fault them.
What don't they do? Clothing and other fan goodies - this really is cars-only, but boy do they do it well.
KIMI::STUFF top tip: Check their lists regularly and bag a bargain from their Sales pages.

Who are they? The name's a bit of a give-away: they're specialists in motorsport models. Particularly rare and hard-to-find ones...
What do they do? Minichamps, Quartzo, Onyx. There's some excellent rare McLarens from the 80s and 90s - from the Minichamps "McLaren Collection" as well as Senna Collection models too. Some are very expensive - but Motorsport Models sell them in very good condition and they pack them off very well for you. MP4/8s and the like don't come cheap anywhere nowadays. I have had a number of very happy buys from Motorsport Models - they know everything about models, they're fans and they're good traders.
What don't they do? Fan gear. And they don't specialise in the Kimster. Yet!
KIMI::STUFF top tip: Save up. There are some beautiful and rare things on this site and they're worth every penny.

Who are they? Online and Mail-order specialists for F1 and other motorsport merchandise.
What do they do? All kinds of stuff - models, signed items, team gear - some of the Mercedes clothing too if you fancy a different Kimi t-shirt and cap...
What don't they do? Not much actually - they're a great supplier for F1 fans.
KIMI::STUFF top tip: Their catalogues are regular and useful - often with decent Bargain sections. Subscribe.

Who are they? They sell models and gear and prints.
What do they do? Some of their lines are to be found elsewhere, but some of their stuff is a cut-above: they're a bit more specialist than some outlets. You can often find useful limited edition models here, or special photographic or art prints in varying sizes or formats. Doesn't always come cheap of course. I got Kimi's 1st point Sauber (1/43) here just after it was released for a very decent price: I'm glad I did, as it's now a very sought-after item.
What don't they do? Bargains. I'm sure they say they *DO*, but they're not really a cheap or bargain-oriented site. And there's nothing wrong with that. Use TSF1 for buying special editions or limited-run prints, stuff like that.
KIMI::STUFF top tip: Get a nice big photographic print - and put some money aside for a nice frame.
