Get ready for the revs with Fast & Furious for kids! Who cares if you're not actually old enough to have a licence & legally drive this is all about 'street racing' on a private circuit. It's legal & it's great fun but it's just for juniors! Of course technically the film franchise is rated 12 or 14 years but who hasn't heard of the antics of Brian O' Conner & Dominic Toretto in the crazy carburettor-filled world of street racing? We all know how those boys & girls just love to push their tuned up & highly stylised cars to the limits on the streets of America & beyond. It's exciting stuff & this is the chance for car-mad youngsters to get a piece of the action. Indeed your little ones don't need to know how to drive or have any experience. The only proviso is that the miniature drivers are at least 4ft 5" tall & 10 years old. Once they've got their licence in their pocket you can book them onto the adult Toyota Supra drive experience instead. So back to the junior v... ...

You’ll be astounded when you see how adept your kids look as they zoom off into the distance. (And in case you’re feeling jealous we have a grown-up version of this junior experience too).

The trio of American muscle cars the junior drivers will be meeting are: the Chevrolet Camaro (they might know it as ‘ Bumblebee’ from the Transformers films) the Ford Mustang GT (‘ Barricade’ in the Transformers) & a Dodge Challenger. You can’t miss this one it’s super loud & as orange as an...orange!

So go on treat your teen to a tearaway day on a thrilling junior muscle car drive experience. & don’t forget to bring the family along to cheer the kids on admire all the flash cars & generally have a fun car day out!

Hire a Jaguar E-Type series 2 coupe & drive on the public roads exploring the Cotswolds & Worcestershire. Multiple routes to choose from in your road book. ...

It's all about the retro 60s style on this Jaguar driving day! Will leather driving gloves a nice pair of Farah slacks & original Ray Bans be your attire of choice for this E-Type experience? Whilst the outfits from this era are probably best forgotten the design of this car is eternally in fashion. Even some of today's Jaguars still boast that nice long bonnet & distinctive wheel-arch curves that were first seen on the E-Type. Just getting the chance to get up close to one of these Jaguars models is a privilege let alone actually driving one! Brit-born designer Malcolm Sayer was an engineer. He was enthralled by the concept of aerodynamics & he was a pioneer using his experience in this field & applying it to car design. That is why the E-Type is so sleek & gorgeous. Not only does it look superb the theory behind the style is all there to make it a truly thrilling driving experience. But of course it's not so much what's under the bonnet that strikes you first it's a... ...

Book a Jaguar F-Type driving experience & discover how a drive in this F-Type is pure theatre. This isn't just any old F-Type from Jaguar it's the F-Type R coupe. & just look at it
- it's gorgeous. & it sounds the total business too thanks to a little bit of what the Jaguar boffins call 'controlled misfire'
- allegedly. Let us tell you more about this F-Type you'll be driving… We think this Jaguar's 'best side' is the rear. The first thing you'll notice is the quadruple exhaust tailpipes. Yep that means this car is running with a V8 engine. Then there are the sleek lines. This is a fastback in the true sense of the word & it really works in terms of styling with the long clean lines of the bonnet juxtaposing the stocky rear. stunning. Then there's that noise. That deliberate calculated misfiring that has been carefully created when lifting off the gas means this car will 100% turn heads. & it's one of those cars that you'll hear way before you actually see it. In fact we advise anyone going on this Jaguar F-Type driving experience to actually watch (and listen) to the car for a while before you drive it as it's the best way to appreciate the good looks & throaty V8. Once you're inside the rather snug cockpit you'll realise the fastback styling does have its drawbacks namely vision. You can't see much at all out of the rear windscreen. & even less so when the spoiler is up if you're driving at what feels like warp speed in this top-of-the-range F-Type. Handy then that you're in the perfect environment for appreciating this car at its very best
- the racetrack. & don't forget with all wheel drive technology onboard it means you can actually put that power (all 550bhp of it) to good use for three or six glorious miles. These Jaguar F-Type driving experiences are about as far removed from the image of Jags being for gentlemen of a certain age to drive to the golf club as you can get. For a start you'd have trouble even fitting a set of clubs in the boot of the R-Type. This car is loud on purpose & a thing of sheer beauty too. Just be prepared to be heartbroken when you have to give it back!
