Tractor Driving Dumfries

Go tractor driving in
Dumfries down on the
farm! In the heart of
Southern Scotland you'll
find this busy working
beef and sheep farm that
has diversified to offer
experiences like this one
- driving a proper
tractor on a proper
working farm. The
600-acre Kirkwood Estate
is just south of
Lockerbie between
Dumfries and Gretna
Green. Six generations of
the Steel family have
farmed here since 1865.
Today there are still
sheep and cows to look
after but the doors have
been thrown open to offer
various countryside
activities and
experiences. Priding
themselves on giving
their animals a good life
using natural food and
organic ways the farming
is definitely extensive
rather than intensive
these days. Tractors
still play a huge part in
a farmer's life and
you'll get a taste of
what these agricultural
machines can do on your
tractor driving
experience with the
farming team in Dumfries.
We are offering 60-minute
driving sessions. The
controls will all be
explained to you and once
settled in t...

Italian Job Bus Driving
Experience

All aboard Charlie
Croker's Coach Tours -
you're going Italian Job
bus driving! This is your
chance to drive a replica
of this iconic bus from
the original (and best)
Italian Job film. We are
offering driving sessions
at Oxfordshire and
York for you to choose
from. You know the bit in
the film when the Mini
Coopers loaded with gold
drive up the ramps of the
moving bus? That was a
1964 Bedford bus. It had
been specially adapted
and reinforced to have
opening rear doors and
ramps - and the stunt was
done for real. Of course
after Charlie and the
gang unloaded the gold
and pushed the trio of
Coopers out of the bus to
tumble over the edge of
the mountain (sacrilege!)
they all thought they
were home and dry with
the loot. Only they
hadn't counted on all
those hairpins on their
Grand Saint Bernard pass
getaway route. And you
all know how the film
ends - quite literally on
a cliff-hanger. To
celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the
Italian Job some very
inspired bods decided to
recreate the f...

Amphibious Driving
Leicestershire

When it comes to Argocat
driving you'll certainly
need your wits about you
to be able to control
this 8x8 vehicle! On this
particular model there's
no steering wheel and not
even a set of handlebars
it's all about the levers
but with a bit of
crunching and lot of
concentration you should
get the knack pretty
quickly.This amphibious
vehicle is a mind blowing
little thing that really
packs a punch. When you
first catch sight of the
Argocat you might be
forgiven for thinking
something that small
can't possibly be much
good when it comes to
rough and tumble terrain
but believe us the
brilliance is in its
simplicity.With eight
wheels a very basic open
cab with seating for two
and a 'bin' behind that
lets up to four perch on
the edge for the ride
that's about your lot.
The genius comes in the
fact that this vehicle is
amphibious so you can go
driving it pretty much
anywhere and it's small
enough to go weaving in
and out of trees take on
narrow paths or even
attempt ground where
there is no path at all
just rocks tree roots and
dirt.Here at this centre
in Leicestershire the
instructors have plotted
designed and built
several different trails
that all make the most of
the natural lay of the
land. Being a former
quarry there are plenty
of challenges to be had
and we're pretty sure
you'll bottle it way
before the Argocat
does!And if you've ever
seen one of these plucky
amphibious vehicles being
driven you may have
noticed that none of the
wheels move. Which may
lead you to ask yourself
how the Argocat turns?
Well this 8x8 actually
uses the skid-steer
method which is exactly
as it sounds. That's to
say the eight wheels work
independently and
according to whether the
left set or the right set
are turning and driving
forward you will skid and
slide in the opposite
direction. If that's as
clear as mud you'll be
able to suss it all out
when you're in the hot
seat!This experience
lasts around an hour and
gives all participants
plenty of Argocat driving
during which you'll be
able to tackle everything
from steep gradients to
some scarily deep water
troughs (don't worry you
won't sink the Argocat is
amphibious remember?).
You may have driven some
different vehicles in
your time but nothing
quite so madcap as this
8x8 skid steering mini
monster!

Police Getaway Drive

Beware of the rozzers on
this Police getaway
drive! You'll be driving
the 'go fast' car and the
Police will be hot on
your heels in the Audi
Quattro A6 interceptor.
Will you get caught in
this hot pursuit on the
track?Normally if you
fail to stop for the
Police you'd lose your
driving licence. Luckily
this experience is a
Police getaway drive role
play and it takes place
away from the public
roads. So this is your
chance to drive it like
you stole it and see if
you can hold off the
coppers on your tail.You
will be driving the Volvo
C30 2.0l bandit getaway
car. You'll be given a
head start to get away
from the Police so make
sure you're ready to
launch as soon as you get
the go. You'll need to
eat up some tarmac to get
ahead so try and avoid
wheel-spinning away from
the pits it'll lose you
time and grip.No doubt
your heart will be
pumping as you hoon it
around the first corner.
Even if you think you're
getting away don't get
complacent. Within
seconds you'll hear the
wail of the Police siren
and those blue flashing
lights will appear in
your rear view mirror.
The chase is on. The
pressure mounts. You've
got to nail that racing
line to not lose a second
of time.The cops are in
an Audi Quattro A6. This
is a beast of an
interceptor used for
chasing down suspects who
try and evade the Police.
It's at home pelting it
along the motorway. It's
also at home handling the
hairpins on the track.
You're going to have your
work cut for you trying
to stave off the
cops.Indeed you'll be up
against highly skilled
Police response divers
who have been involved in
many a tactical pursuit
in their time in the
Forces. You've got four
laps to try and hold them
off but if the Audi pulls
up alongside you in the
Volvo you've been nicked
and you'll be tracked and
guided off the track at
the end of your four lap
pursuit.If you love the
thrill of the chase book
Police getaway drive
today and see if you can
outrun the old bill!

Drive A Police Car

Have you always wanted to
drive a police car? Now
here's your chance! We
are offering experiences
for you to get behind the
wheel of a powerful
Police interceptor to see
how it performs on the
track. You will be
driving an Audi A6
Quattro police car. The
Quattro bit refers to the
fact that this beast is
four wheel drive giving
you so much more grip -
essential when chasing
baddies and bandits on
the mean streets of the
UK. It's a high
performance motor that'll
give any criminal's 'go
fast' car a run for its
money. The famous
battenburg markings down
the sides of the cars
(that have replaced the
old 'jam sandwich'
stripes back in the days
of Minder and The Bill)
are all present and
correct on this Audi as
are the famous 'Blues and
Twos' that's to say the
blue lights and the
siren. With any luck
you'll get to have a
little go with those
during your Police car
driving experience. So
much more powerful than
you usual Vauxhall panda
car vehicles like this
Audi are deployed by
Police forces around the
country as Interceptors.
That's to say they sit in
wait and control traffic
often carrying out ANPR
(Automatic Number Plate
Recognition) checks on
passing vehicles. An
infraction spotted they
leap into action and go
in hot pursuit of the
perpetrator. From a
standing start to 60mph
in a matter of seconds
this is what all Police
officers wish they were
driving. As you take the
hot seat take note of
what the instructor in
the front passenger seat
is saying. Chances are
they've been involved in
more tactical pursuits
than you've had hot
dinners so they can give
you all the hints and
tips from an insider's
perspective. Your drive a
police car experience
gives you four laps of
the race circuit. You
might be finding your
feet at the start (these
cop cars have automatic
transmission which can
take a bit of getting
used to) but by the
fourth and final lap
you'll be flying in your
thoroughly modern Audi
police interceptor!
