Ever wanted to drive a Hummer? Ever wanted to drive a Hummer off road? Now is your chance to drive the magnificent H1 Hummer off road – where it belongs! What is essentially the Military Humvee under the skin but with a few creature comforts added, this is a 6.2 litre, V8 monster with the power, width and low centre of gravity which combine to give it astounding off-road capability.

The Hummer was originally designed so that it could follow in tank tracks and it is this width that guarantees stability off-road. It can drive on very extreme angles and negotiate frighteningly steep slopes with ease. After a safety briefing and a demonstration from an instructor, you will take the wheel of this fantastic vehicle on a specially designed off-road track. Enjoy driving over all sorts of varied terrain, through water and even negotiating certain obstacles that standard production 4x4s would struggle with! With an automatic gearbox, power steering and full time 4WD, the Hummer will make it all seem effortless. See if you can tame this wild beast.

Lamborghini Driving Experience

There are a lot of tempting reasons for owning a superb car such as a Lamborghini. For the ultimate driving experience, for the opulence and the thrills. Sadly, like most people I am not quite rich enough to buy one.

At least there are also reasons NOT to own one. There’s the initial price tag, of course. Now think about the plethora of automated speed traps going up all over creation and the ease with which one could amass an enormous pile of tickets in a such a car.

For folks whose passion for driving and fine automobiles exceeds their credit limit or whose practicality outranks impulse, there are a number of places where you can drive a Lamborghini the way it is meant to be driven. You don’t have to buy the car; if you meet the criteria you can check out the Lamborghini driving experience on a professional track, far from all of big brother’s prying electronic eyes.

What do we need? And what do we get for our purchase price? You’ll need to be 18 and of course you need a driver’s license; the specifics vary by venue but you will probably need to have had it for at least a year. A long list of traffic violations might be a bad idea too. The maximum height is 6’4″ and maximum weight is 18 stone. A 492 horsepower engine must not leave much legroom for giants.

The whole thing will take an hour or two. You’ll get a crash course from a pro consisting of a short briefing and some practice laps. Then, take over the driver’s seat for some more high-velocity laps. Go home with a driving certificate and leave someone else to do the washing and waxing. (As well as filling the tank!)
