A days moto cross riding!
Me and my best mate did it for his 21st.
Was around £110 each, for a full days riding and tuition on a track, lunch, bike hire all included. We took our own protective gear which made it abit
cheaper. Those driving experiences dont last long apparently?
How hard can it be?

"...i suggested finding an airfield and sending him out in the indy..."
Atleast that way somebody would have taken it on track

silverstone and brands do quite a good single seater day you get a couple of hours in the car rather than 20 mins on a ferrari day.
slightly cheaper option Karting is always good fun and plus you can get involved as well show him how to drive
if he's into his cars could always take him to your local track when they have racing on brands and WTCC was always my fave

sorry but i had to say it
looked at those red letter days they are the ones the old man suggested.
failing that i think ill be a cheeky git take him to a trackday and book him on as a passenger and they go round the pits asking for a ride round
well i am sorting his track day car out for him what more does he want

What about zorbing? Never done it but always wanted to. Although when I was 18 I was too busy being tired and having red eyes and being hungry......
