Fire engines -big boys toys

Incredibly well set up team with super instructors. Driving, straight lines, corners, zigzag, three point turns and even a bit of parallel parking, something I never thought I’d be able to do but all made possible by the superb instructors team. What a fantastic afternoon.

Tank Driving Experience for One – Special Offer

A total blast!

Such a fantastic experience. Big shout out to Mick, my instructor who took me on the first lap and then allowed me to carry on, navigating both the top and bottom fields including mud, 'off road', down and up the steep slope – hatch open and shut. Reverse parking with limited vision and no wing mirrors requires a brilliant 'wingman'; thanks, Mick! This experience was a gift from my sisters for my 'significant' birthday which is happening later this year. It's been on my bucket list for years, so I'm a very happy lady!
