The Mini Cooper classic is a British popular culture icon straight out the 1960s. These fun experiences give you three or six miles driving a 1968 Cooper S at your choice of track nationwide. So is the old Mini Cooper better than the new BMW one? You've got to hand it to Alec Issigonis
- he designed one hell of a brilliant little car. When the first Minis rolled off the British Motoring Corporation production line in 1959 it changed motoring as we know it. The Mini was simple practical & affordable. A certain John Cooper spotted the racing potential in these little city cars & before you know it the souped up Cooper version was ready to race. & whilst the Mini Cooper was indeed a good racer the car is perhaps best known for its role in the 1969 heist film ' The Italian Job'. Red white & blue Mini Coopers race through the streets of Turin in what is surely one of the best chase scenes ever in a movie. Nipping along the arcades bumping down paved steps turning into tight...

Say a big hearty 'howdy' to the Camaro SS. This is the car Chevrolet finally came up with to compete against Ford's massively successful Mustang. We're giving you then chance to drive a genuine 1969 Chevvy Camaro in all its SS (that's Super Sport) finery. & we reckon you'll love it. Built on Pepsi Cola & hot dogs (or something like that) this quintessential muscle car from the other side of the Atlantic is certainly eye-catching. First Generation Camaros were built from 1967 to 1969 & the model you'll be driving was built in 1969. It's got all the markings of the sportiest version of the Camaro complete with stripes SS badges on the front grille & chassis upgrade to handle all that extra power from the SS V8 engine. Oh & you can't miss those rather large air-inlets on the hood! When it first appeared on the US car market it was like nothing else out there at the time. It has a distinctly curvy almost European style that really appealed to American drivers. The Camaro al... ...

It's like you're driving Dom's signature car on this Dodge Charger driving experience! The street racing leader's 1970 Dodge Charger R/T was a car very much close to his heart. These brilliant experiences will see you driving a 1970 Charger that's been done up to look just like Dominic Toretto's pride & joy. We learnt in the first Fast & The Furious film that Dom & his Dad built this impressive customised Charger complete with supercharger attached to the bonnet. Claiming a mighty 900bhp this beast from 1970 would do a quarter-mile straight line in just nine seconds. & that record was set by Dom's Dad. Since his Father's death Dom keeps their precious Charger in the garage too scared to drive it. But as you might have guessed by the end of that first film Dom is seen roaring along the Los Angeles streets in his fabled supercharged Dodge. Despite being crashed multiple times the Charger rises from the ashes & features in several of the Fast & Furious films along with... ...

Get a little bit of lakeside loveliness in your life when you drive a 4x 4 near Bedford! It's destination Wyboston Lakes for these fab off roading sessions in Bedfordshire that give you the chance to power round the purpose-built track in a 4x 4 vehicle. We think this venue is fab. Easy to get to off the A1 just north of Bedford it's a proper 4x 4 play park with great on-site facilities. Everything you need to have fun is here with lakes offering madcap water-based activities alongside some rather nice on-shore shenanigans thanks to the off road track. Tucked away behind trees you're right next to the water for these 4x 4 sessions in Bedfordshire. If it's rained recently there's a good chance you'll be getting mud up to the door handles as you splish-splash your way around. All experiences here in Bedford are specifically offered as solo drives meaning that there's no waiting your turn & no swapping drivers midway through. The slot you book is all yours so you can invite a couple of friends or family to join you for the duration if you like
- but don't be surprised if your passengers turn into back-seat drivers! Indeed as you tackle increasingly difficult terrain there's bound to be some expressions of utter fear from the rear. ' Surely this car can't get up that hill?' ' Aren't we going to tip over in a minute?' & ' Is the suspension going to collapse with all the axle-twisting going on?' are the sort of thing you might hear. But fear not 4x 4 drivers in the wilds of Wyboston these modified 4x 4s are designed to conquer pretty much anything you can throw at them in the realm of off roading even if your stomach isn't so keen. Of course your expert instructors will be at your side throughout your session in these 4x 4s at Bedford's Wyboston Lakes. They'll be able to assist with your gear selection & clutch control as well as motivating you to go for that steep drop & then round the corner to steer right over that see-saw. Enjoy the drive.

Would you let a teenager behind the wheel of your prized Bentley for their first drive? No probably not. But this driver training company does & at several venues nationwide too! Clearly they have every confidence in their instructors who will be leading these junior Bentley drive lessons… A Bentley is the epitome of luxury motoring. It's all about road presence comfort & power & the Bentley Flying Spur that the kids will be driving has all of this. In bucketloads. Under the bonnet of this full-size four-door deluxe saloon is a powerful 6.0l twin turbo engine capable of 0-60 in under five seconds (quite something given the size & weight of this car!) & giving 560bhp. Youngsters will definitely be impressed when they open the huge door & slide into that pristine cream leather seat. Then there's the chrome trimmings shining away & the classic walnut dashboard & inserts. This car just lives & breathes class. It's true they're not the most practical of cars (or the cheapest to run) which might explain why when we do see them on the roads they are probably taking blushing brides to their wedding or cruising with the college kids going to their end of year prom. But of course on this experience teens won't be passengers lounging around in the (very) spacious rear seats. Nope it's the parents in the back (enjoying the reclining massage seats!) & the kids who up front in the driver seat taking the dual-controlled Flying Spur for a spin with an ADI (Advanced Driving Instructor) at their side. As for where the youngsters will be taking 'their' Bentley it's all rather realistic. They will be negotiating a proper public-road style set up with junctions roundabouts & all the other things you have to deal with when driving. Except it's all at a private centre so it's all legal & safe! The instructors on these Bentley first drive sessions tell us that allowing youngsters to drive such a large car is a very worthwhile experience as it teaches them how bigger heavier cars handle in a safe & protected environment. We think teens today are very lucky to have the chance to drive a car like the Flying Spur! ...
