The Dodge Hellcat is one seriously street-wise car. It's got head-turner throwback looks with thoroughly modern engineering brilliance under the hood. We're talking an incredible 707bhp from a huge 6.2l V8 engine. Yep this is all-American motoring in the biggest & baddest style! The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (to give this beast its full name) is a bonafide muscle car. Big heavy wide low & mean it sounds like a bit of unwieldy gangster but actually the Hellcat has handling to match all that power. That's because this is an SRT version. That's SRT for Street & Racing Technology the high-performance arm of Chrysler who created this incredible car & they've done some rather nifty work to create the formidable Hellcat. The car's exterior give you massive clues about the performance of this Dodge. With extra air intakes & a more aggressive styling SRT has even made room for massive 20" alloys. Inside the cabin is roomy & it's technically a four-seater family car but i... ...

Go all-American supercar on yourself with this Dodge Viper experience! If ever there was a car that epitomises the American ideal that bigger is better the Dodge Viper SRT is it. This is your chance to drive a rarely-seen-in-this-country last generation Dodge Viper VX SRT. Prepare to be blown away by this charger of a car. So back to the 'bigger is better' idea. Just take a look at this Viper. The bonnet (sorry hood) is gigantesque. The styling is about as bold as it can get. & all those louvres & air intakes? They're to increase down force & decrease front lift which might give you a hint as to what this car is like to drive out on the airfield track. The Dodge Viper SRT is powered by a 'ludicrous' (that's how this Dodge Viper driving experience supplier describes it!) 8.4l V10 all-aluminium engine. Eight-point-four litres? That's right. Utterly ridiculous in this day & age & powerful enough to get a truck fully loaded with corn dogs & soda to break the sound barrier... ...

Want an in-depth flight experience that shows you just what it's like to pilot a light aircraft & packed full with loads of air time? Then hot-foot it to this Midlands-based flight centre where these extended flying lessons give you all the insider aviation knowledge. During your experience you will be treated to a real 'insiders' view of what happens at a flight school as you follow exactly the same process as someone starting out in the journey to become a fully qualified pilot. & yes if you do carry on this session will count in your pilot's log book.' Hands on' is definitely the word here as your instructor will make sure you are in control for as much of the flight as possible on this experience. Unique to this Midlands school these flying lessons let you taxi the aircraft out (and you may be surprised to know it's done with your feet!) & actually take the plane onto the active runway ready for take off. In fact as long as you're up for it & confident the only parts of this flight your highly experienced co-pilot instructor will handle are the actual take off & landing sequences. If you've really got a feel for this flying lark you will even be able to control the turn onto base leg & set up the approach to the runway prior to coming in to l&. Truly thrilling & way beyond the usual trial flight experience. So where will you be flying during your lesson? Well it's truly the Midlands-wide as although it's called Coventry Airport you are actually just over the border in Warwickshire. & given that you will be in the air for around an hour you'll get to see a whole lot of the Coventry & way beyond. But of course this flight experience isn't just about the views from the cockpit. Based on two people sharing you will spend around 30 minutes up front in the hot seat honing your skills & when you're not flying you will be observing all that's going on from the rear seats of this four seater training aircraft. We think these flying lessons in the Midlands are the perfect choice for really getting to grips with what flying is all about. & as a little extra touch you can celebrate the end of your fascinating flight experience with a complimentary drink at The Oak public house at the entrance to the airfield
- thought to be the unofficial officer's mess when the airfield was an RAF fighter station in WW2.

Every well-to-do clan had a London pad to complement the family estate in the country & the Crawleys of Downton Abbey were no different. These fascinating tours let you discover the Crawleys' London.

But the exterior shots of the house were actually filmed in Westminster. It's this sort of insider knowledge that makes this London Downton tour so interesting. With so many links to London the city often featured in episodes of the hit ITV period drama. Rose partied her heart out. Edith inherited The Sketch with its London offices & the flat of her editor lover Michael Gregson. & of course there's Robert's sister Rosamund Painswick who lived permanently in London at 35 Belgrave Square... ...
