There are many different types of 50th birthday present you can buy for someone who is celebrating a 50th birthday, but a driving activity will be the most adrenalin fuelled you should choose .
Whether the birthday boy or girl normally runs a Astra or a Jaguar with the many driving activites available there is sure to be one that interests them and gives them a fun filled few hours that they will everlastingly think back on over the years to come. So what driving activity will you purchase ?
Firstly you should decide on what sort of sum you should spend. For this article we are going to consider activities and experiences around the £120.00 but you can spend alot more than this with an Aston Martin Driving experience costing £299.00 and the ultimate single seater driving experience, which includes 10 laps in an ex-F1 Arrows car along with laps in a Porsche 911 Turbo, Ferarri 360 and a Formula 3 racing car costing just under £1500.00.
That said, with our budget of £120.00 there are a vast array of choices available. If the birthday boy or girl like Fast Cars then they can drive a Porsche 996 Turbo for £75.00 or feel the amazing strength and pull that 492 brake horse power can produce when behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo that travels from 0-60mphinjust over 4 seconds for £110.00. Other cars available for under the budget include Ferarri 360s and an Aston Martin.
If you feel they might love a little more roughness to their activity then how about a Skid Control driving experience? This experience will teach them how to control a skid on ice and water and will not only be fantastic fun but should help them in a real life driving situation one day. They can also have an introduction to drifting or drive a Mitsubishi Lancer EVO to really get the blood racing. Skid and drifting activities will cost between £110-120.00 with the Evo experience just £65.00.
If the above does not seem their thing you could choose an experience learning to drive a 4×4 with a fully qualifid instructor or for £4.00 over our budget you could choose a half day 4×4 driving experience which will go in to alot more detail and be great fun.
Although all the above are fantastic fun and will give the birthday boy or girl a uniqe gift there is something alittle different that I need to tell you about . Dumper truck Racing!
I tried this activity myself and along with 23 other people spent a few hours racing fantastic little dumper trucks. Put in to groups of four we drove against each other driving through obstacle courses and generally had a fantastic time in thes great little vehicles . After the fun there was a prize giving for the fastest overall driver who had also avoided the most obstacles. That I am afraid was far too boring as most of us found it great fun driving through anything in our way which everybody else found extremey funny . Best of all – Dumper Truck racing costs less than £55.00, and it is also one of the most affordable driving experiences available .
Most people of any age should enjoy a driving experience as a gift but as a 50th birthday gift these are brilliant gifts allowing a bit more driving freedom than we are all allowed when driving normally .
