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 & 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 & The Bill) are all present & correct on this Audi as are the famous ' Blues & Twos' that's to say the blue lights & 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 & control traffic often carrying out ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) checks on passing vehicles. An infraction spotted they leap into action & 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 & 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 & final lap you'll be flying in your thoroughly modern Audi police interceptor!

When it comes to cuteness the Sherwood Forest Railway wins hands down! It's a whole world of steam all in miniature at this delightful family-owned railway that runs along the edge of the former Sherwood Forest farm park area
- & this experience will see you getting to drive one of the steam locos. The SFR (as the Sherwood Forest Railway is know to locals & fans!) is Nottinghamshire's only 15" railway. Rolling on this narrow gauge track are 5/8th scale locomotives with both diesel & steam powered versions along with a fine collection of bright & shiny passenger carriages. For this experience you will be driving one of the lovely steam trains. The family who operates this charming railway originally bought steam locos Smokey Joe & Pet back in 1998 but it wasn't until 2000 that they had found the perfect location on the edge of Sherwood Forest to build their railway track. Each year the line is extended & now stands at one mile complete with two level crossings a tunnel...

Drive a loco for a return trip along the  East Kent Railway line near Dover & invite up to four to ride along behind in the brake van! ...

' Take this mobile parking lot for a spin round the strawberry cornets to see just how you drive a truck!' That's the language of the international trucker which roughly translates as ' Take this car transporter for a drive around traffic cones'! & that's just what you'll be doing. This juggernaut driving experience will certainly sort the tailboard artists (over confident lorry drivers) from the Alices in Wonderland (those who have a tendency to get lost). As you get ready to bust some moves on the bitumen at your choice of track venues offered (all of which are well away from the public roads) it's time to see if you have what it takes to handle these kings of the road. In today's trucking world manufacturers are at pains to say the driver is the most precious cargo onboard which is why when you step into the ergonomic cab of a truck it is quite frankly jaw droppingly cool. First of all you'll notice that you can pretty much stand up in the cab. That's quite useful. Then there... ...

KITT the legendary Knight Rider car certainly needs no introduction. This revved up retro experience gives you the chance to play the role of Michael Knight as you step into the cockpit of a Pontiac Trans Am similar to Knight Industries Two Thous&. That's to say KITT the enigmatic car with a voice (and a very dry wit) from that famous TV show starring David Hasselhoff. & of course everyone knows that despite the Hoff's attempts to hog the limelight with his leather blousons open necked shirts & shades KITT the car was the true star. Fans who dream of driving the Knight Rider car will know exactly what we mean when we say scanner bar on the bonnet turbo boost microwave jammer tear gas launcher & flame throwers… The car used in the Knight Rider show was based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans AM from General Motors like the one you'll be driving however KITT was fitted with a Knight 2000 processor developed by The Foundation which made the car self-aware & capable of thinking learning & even interacting with his human driver. & yes one of the things you all remember from Knight Rider is KITT's voice & sense of humour. Who can forget those classic conversations as our heroic duo drove along the means streets of Los Angeles? The chat was always sharp-witted like when Michael says: " You're about as much fun as a divorce…which is not a bad idea" & KITT replies in an instant: "I want custody of me!". Of course we this Pontiac Trans AM can't respond to any of your cheesy Hasselhof wisecracks with a killer one-liner. However it will make you feel like a true 1980s TV hero as you screech away from the pits. You will be driving the Knight Rider style car on a private track well away from the public roads. So you will have plenty of room for accelerating down the tarmac pretending to chase KARR (remember him?). & to finish one more legendary Knight Rider quip: ' Keep your scanners peeled pal' … ' Right away Michael'. ...

Looking for drone flying in London? This is where it all happens. These drone flying lessons with the essential Flyer ID module take place at Theobalds Park just off J25 of the M25
- & it's London's first outdoor drone flying arena! You can no longer just turn up & fly a drone outside. Since the CAA introduced new regulations in November 2019 anyone flying a drone outdoors will need a Flyer ID. The first module on this drone course proposed by this London-based team is to pass the theory test needed for your official Flyer ID. Your training starts on the drone simulator. You've got a real set of controls in your hands to fly a virtual drone on the high definition screens in front of you. A bit like a radio controlled car you may have used before it does take a little time to get to grips with the basic control moves so this is an excellent way to get started. Then you'll move out to the drone arena. This is a specially designed circuit with slaloms to test your new found piloting skills. As you weave in & out of the flags through the aerial hoops & loop back around you'll soon appreciate how agile your Mavic Pro drone is. But of course aerial obstacle courses aren't the only things drones are used for. Drones are superb for aerial videos & photos & that's the next step in your drone course in London. You'll be training with a Phantom 4 to hone your visual skills practicing videoing & photographing techniques from the air. Then comes the big one. The Inspire X5S series is the commercial drone of the moment for professionals. Providing incredible 5.2k-quality aerial footage this is the go to drone for producing images to impress. It's also pretty nifty capable of flying at up to 70mph (handy for following a cheetah running across the Serengeti for example!). You'll be using the Inspire to capture your own antics from the air as you get the drone up to 400ft to take footage of you your fellow drone lesson colleagues & spectators waving at the camera. It's a neat little memento of the day you took your drone lesson in London.
