Launch yourself off on one of these two-wheeled wonders when you go on a Segway blast! These best-value deals give you a weekday taster of what it's like to propel yourself on tracks & trails onboard these clever little personal transporters. We have to say before actually riding one for ourselves we thought these Segways looked a little well geeky. But once you actually hop aboard one for yourself & give them a spin you'll have to admit they are really good fun & you'll have an absolute blast. Segways are also incredibly easy to control & a lot more stable than you imagine - & that's all down to the fact that despite only having two wheels they are equipped with big fat tyres & all controlled by clever onboard wizardry. To be honest we're not sure how these glorious gadgets actually work but one thing's for sure they are not just glorified electric bikes or scooters as the technology is a lot more advanced & subtle. It's all about gyros & servos but there's no need to actually understand the science behind it - just get ready for blast off on your Segway! Before your tour starts your guide & leader will talk you through the basics of how to control the machines & run through a safety briefing with you. A little bit of a practice session (often in a coned area near to the meeting point for your tour) to get used to how it feels & you'll be off. All the terrain around the venues varies but you'll be heading up hills down dales & whizzing along tracks & trails on your specially adapted x 2 off roading Segway. Your Segway blast experience will last 30 minutes giving you plenty of time to have a good old bomb around on the x 2 which will be 'yours' for the duration of the tour. We think these off peak Segway sessions offer a fabulous way for all novice Segway-ers to have an introduction to riding on these innovative electric-powered transporters. Get set get ready & blast off on your funky Segway at your choice of location from a selection across the UK. ...

We could waffle on about the physics of how they actually work but let's leave the science & just go Segwaying instead! So what does a day out spent on a Segway involve? Well first up you will be welcomed at the Events Pod by the Segway staff. As it's probably the first time you'll have ridden on one of these machines there's a safety briefing & initiation session. In a cordoned off area you'll be shown how to ride your very own Segway using the handlebar controls. Using the ' Leansteer' method you'll find they are highly manoeuvrable & you can even turn them on their own axis to go spinning round & round on the spot. All experiences use the x 2 Segway which is a purpose-built model designed to be super-rugged & robust. Not only are the transporters especially equipped for off roading you will be too as all operators supply helmet knee & elbow pads on the day for each budding Segway pilot Once everyone is feeling at ease you will head out on your trek. Depending on where you choose for your day out you could be Segwaying along the grounds of magnificent country houses over the rolling hills & dips of the countryside whizzing through dense forest trails or around tranquil lakes. & there are unique locations too.

It all goes very Land of the Rising Sun on this Nissan GTR driving day with a car that gives the prestige marques a serious run for their money - at less than half the price! That's not to say the Nissan is cheap it'll still set you back 75 000 of your finest pounds... During this day of high speed driving you'll discover that the GT-R from Nissan is the 'young buck' of the supercar world. Actually let's be blunt about it. Many driving snobs think the car lacks class & style. OK it's not got the sensuousness of an Italian stallion but despite being less powerful & heavier it is faster on acceleration with 0-60mph in just 2.7seconds. So how does the Nissan do it? Well there's the twin turbocharged engine & the carbon ceramic brakes as standard. Then there's the double clutch (one controlling the even gears & one controlling the odd gears) making gear changes faster smoother & slicker along with the paddle shift. Add to that all wheel drive technology that monitors trac... ...
Drive a Nissan GT-R & discover the real meaning of the word 'supercar'! This amazingly fast roadster is the replacement for the much-loved Nissan Skyline GTR & when you drive it around the circuit you'll see why it's nicknamed ' Godzilla'. Just like the Japanese mutant movie monster the Nissan GT-R oozes power. The interior's luxurious & the terrific design puts the driver fully in control & at the centre of the world. Each engine & transmission is hand built while the head-turning square lines & vents of the bodywork work so well with the cars aggressive personality. Boasting a 3.8 litre twin turbo V6 engine with six-speed dual clutch the car is a deserved winner of a recent Top Gear Supercar of the Year award. The secret of its awesome acceleration is the clutch that responds to a flick of your fingers on the paddle gear shift. There's also fully automatic mode you can select which means you can concentrate on where you're going & not clunking those expensive gears! Wi... ...
Introducing you to a rather special R35 Nissan GT-R. This particular GT-R is resident at this Hertfordshire aerodrome circuit for your pure driving pleasure. On this experience you get to drive this Ninja warhorse of a car around the track for 10 laps…but there’s something you should know…
Nissan’s famed GT-R has been wowing motorists since it’s launch in 2007. Coming as standard with a whopping 650bhp you’d have thought that was enough for most drivers. Not here in Hertfordshire. If you go for the paid-locally upgrade you’ll be able to drive this behemoth from the land of the rising sun on High Boost. That means 1000bhp. We kid you not. One. Thous&. Hold on to your eyeballs it’s going to be very fast!
To cope with all that extra power & torque this R35 has been extensively modified. The six speed dual-clutch gearbox is from Dodson the world leader in after-market dual clutch transmission. This is supported with uprated brakes & upgraded suspension too. Under the bonnet it’s just as you’d expect with Nissan’s fine tuned 3.8l twin-turbo V6 engine in the GT-R.
What you might not now is that every R35 GTR engine is h&-assembled in Nissan’s Yokohama manufacturing facility by one of only four master craftsmen. These highly experienced technicians are called Takumi & only when you’ve completed many many years of work are you accredited this prestigious title. So highly regarded are the Takumi that each GTR engine has a little plaque bearing the Takumi’s name on it. How cool is that?
We have no idea who actually made the engine in the R35 Nissan GTR you’ll be driving but we can confidently say you’ll be thanking him for the incredible power & performance as soon as you put your foot down in this amazing car around the sweeping Hertfordshire track. Takumis of Nissan we salute you!
If you fancy taking on 1000bhp don’t forget to ask for the High Boost upgrade when booking your date with the supplier. If all that horsepower might be too hot to handle stay with our standard R35 Nissan GTR drive it still gives you a ridiculous 650bhp after all! ...
You'll be in hot pursuit mode when you drive the Fast & Furious R35! This is your chance to drive a Nissan GT-R. This the Nissan incarnation of the legendary R35 series that blasted onto the road racing scene in 2007. Yep the already fast GT-R just got a little faster! Godzilla as the R35 fandom call it is a formidable motor just as it's nickname suggests. Straight out of the pristine laboratories of Nissan in Japan the Nissan boffins have certainly worked their magic on this ultra sporting version of the GT-R. Those with a keen eye will immediately spot the upgrades from the outside - the carbon bumpers the lightweight wheels & that enticing red line insert that underlines the body-styling. & just like Brian O' Conner's R35 from Furious 7 this Nissan is an amazing pearlescent blue chrome colour too. But it's under the bonnet of this up-rated car that is the consistent star of the Fast & Furious film franchise where Nismo has made most changes to the GT-R. Lifting twin... ...
