Thanks

I didn't but can you give me more details about the day. Costs / what you did / website?

Sounds interesting

Me too, more info

ola,

I got it for my birthday but i know they are now £135.00

below is the details.

it was a top day. had a real good time.

1st drive a wheelie car (transit van.) moved axle forward with axel with wheels on back. 3 people in back of transit. you are just about weighted to the floor. as you move of it goes to about 45 degrees and you try keep front end up in air. good fun but no easy. mine went up and down like a jack in the hat lol

2nd we raced the double decker cars. a nissan micro welded to a volvo 740 (i think) the driver in the top does the steering of the bottom car. the bottom car does the pedals. you just shout at each other out of the windows to speed up and slow down etc lol was well funny.

3rd the high speed shoot out. a 2.0l sierra has to chase a micro on a dirt and road track to try catch them. you can never catch the car cos the track was soaked wet through... but it was good fun trying and getting the car mad sideways on the hair pin. then your passenger drives and you have to shoot targets while they drive which gives you reduced time on your lap.

4th push me pull me car. 2 fronts of cars welded together. you need to drive through a track (crab like) good fun but not too fast.

5th hand brake turns in a pug 306

6th movies stunt thing. you drive one car another person drives another toward each other. then as you pass you handbrake turn and see how close you are to each other and how straight. (nose to nose)

7th j turns in a cav 2.0


anyway it was a fun day. you are in a team of 6 people and i had a laugh with people in mine. worth the money.
and it included lunch. (burger chips salad)

See below for more info.

The Auto Stunt Movie Theatre - An awesome introduction to the world of premier league Stunt Driving.
