- we are talking the 911 in its various disguises as let's face it the 911 is Porsche. The first Porsche model 64 appeared in 1938 & was actually a pretty spartan vehicle with more much half the parts coming straight off a Beetle. The classic Nine Eleven as we first knew it (complete with air-cooled engine) arrived in 1968 &...

Say hello to the Porsche GT2. This is the car some say Porsche should never have built. Not because it's not very nice looking or technically deficient in any way but because many say it's just too hot to handle both on & off the track. So you will need courage & driver skill if you're going to get the best out of this Porsche GT2 experience! You will be driving a 996 generation Porsche 911 GT2. Produced by Porsche to be a race-ready GT car that could be bought off the shelf this is a 996 that has been given a serious makeover. For starters the usual Porsche all wheel drive has gone. That means the GT2 is lighter (and therefore faster) & it also means it's rear wheel drive which is a whole different ball game when it comes to handling. Add to that a twin turbocharged 3.6l engine with those upgraded brakes suspension air intakes & huge rear wheel spoiler & the GT2 is the angry cousin of the 996. Even the nose has been more aggressively styled aiding the drag coefficient & reflecting the extra 'bite' this car has at the same time. & it can be seriously snappy. With the only driver aid you get being ABS taking this rear wheel drive beast out on the track will be the scariest yet most thrilling drive you've had. No wonder they nicknamed the Porsche GT2 the widowmaker. This is the car where you are traction control
- there's nothing else to help you tame this car! Slide into the body-hugging seats & you'll feel nicely cocooned. The driving position is ergonomically engaging as you'd expect from Porsche. Look at the dashboard & you'll see it's the rev counter that is the largest most dominantly-placed dial right in front of you. We think that says something about what driving a Porsche GT2 is all about. After sighting laps in a performance car with an instructor driving you get 4 or 8 laps in the superlative Porsche GT2 around the circuit where this car performs at its best. Let's see if you can turn the widow maker into the pure unadulterated smile maker out there.

Of all the things to do in the area a Portsmouth tour by helicopter has got to be pretty much at the top of the wish list! Touring bustling Portsmouth Harbour & the stunning Solent coast in a helicopter is a real thrill
- & you get that breathtaking bird's eye view of everything. Helicopter rides over Portsmouth set off from Solent Airport at Lee-On-Solent. This is the former Royal Navy Air Station known as HMS Daedalus just four miles west of the city. Being so close to Portsmouth means that even on the Buzz helicopter tour you'll get views of the Solent Portsmouth & towards the Isle of Wight. The City & Coast tour is a real insider treat as you get to fly over the whole dockyard area including the restricted access naval base that it is still very much in active service. Over 17 000 personnel work here & Portsmouth still boasts abundant ship building with orders for vessels such as aircraft carriers which you may well see from the air. You might also see the historic part of the dockyard home to the Mary Rose HMS Victory & HMS Warrior before flying over neighbouring Spinnaker Tower. This is a tour highlight for sure as this 170m tall observation tower in the form of a sail is such a great landmark for Portsmouth. Seeing it from the air in a helicopter is just brilliant & it's totally photogenic too so make sure you get some good aerial shots of the Spinnaker from your seat in the chopper! On the longer Isle of White & Needles sightseeing flights you'll head over to the Isle of Wight to circle the famous Needles as well as seeing all the local Solent & Portsmouth sights. Being a Portsmouth tour all the maritime action on the waters below you is central to these flights. Ferries naval vessels sailing boats & fancy cruise liners
- all can quite easily be seen from the heli which for these rides flies at around 1000ft affording you superb views or life in & around this corner of south Hampshire.

Ride the seas see the sights & whoop with delight on this Padstow boat trip! Needless to say this isn't your usual sedate sightseeing boat ride you will be bumping & bouncing your way around this delightful corner of the country on a high speed boat! Before you can set sail for the high seas you'll meet your skipper for the voyage
- Ian Kitto. Ian has grown up in & lived around the Padstow area all of his life & has set up this boat touring company as a friendly family concern. His jolly disposition wealth of local knowledge & sheer boat driving skills are what make these trips unique. Following an on-shore safety briefing you'll be kitted out in a buoyancy aid & if needs be waterproofs. Heading down to the Padstow quayside you'll see the bright orange vessel that'll be taking you on your boat tour. It's a very impressive RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) that is sturdy yet light & very very powerful with not one but two outboard motors. Climb aboard & get ready for the ride... Things start nice & gently with a cruise out of the Camel Estuary on which Padstow sits then your tour in this powerful boat literally steps up a gear as you are on the open seas & Ian hits the throttle. Skimming across the waters it's a case of spray in your face screeches of delight & a proper bouncy ride
- no wonder there are large bars in front of you to hold on to! You'll whizz around this astonishingly beautiful coastline with a heading towards Port Isaac. Port Isaac is instantly recognisable as the location where hit TV show Dr Martin is filmed & is also where scenes for the classic Poldark series were shot. It's picture postcard pretty & rather lovely to look at from the sea for a very different perspective of this quintessential little village that is much like Padstow a mix of tourism & fishing. Slowing the boat down your tour guide & driver Ian will tell you all about the history along with some fascinating facts too. Then it's about turn to set off on the return leg of your boat trip back to Padstow. Once again it's a brilliant mix of speedy boat riding & seaside views as you head back into port. & if you & your fellow passengers are up for it (and there isn't too much sea swell) Ian is always obliging when it comes to pulling off a few sharp turns that are way more of an adrenaline rush than your average theme park ride! If you want to make it a personal party on the waves go for the charter option that gives you the boat skippered by Ian for an hour exclusive to you. This means that once beyond Padstow harbour you can decide where to send the boat on your very own private tour. We think this Padstow boat tour is the perfect way to spend an hour discovering the coastline hearing about the history of the area & of course generally 'having it' zipping around in this seriously fast boat appropriately called Ocean Voyager. & yes you will get wet but that's all part of the fun!
