Take the wheel of a mighty 340 Horse Power fifty five foot long articulated lorry and trailer on a huge area of private tarmac roads, with road markings, roundabouts, T-junctions, slalom courses etc. There is expert friendly tuition from instructors who will take you through a structured course that can be tailored to suit your requirements. When you come to reversing - now that's a challenge! There's also a 16-speed splitter gearbox to master, and we want you to use all 16 gears and reach a top speed of 53mph!
Then a taste of what it's like to be your very own bus driver! Lots of room for your spectators, so get on board and no monkeying around on this bus please! Ring the bell too often and the driver will throw you off. A tremendous experience for those who just love driving the big stuff! A rare chance to drive a Double Decker bus! The short wheel base and long overhang takes a bit of getting used to and you will be amazed at how you have to overhang junctions and turnings to be able to get round. The semi-automatic gear box is easy to change gear in a fashion, but not so easy as we want you to do it -properly! Surprisingly good fun and a must for ‘bus nuts’
