And we've come to the conclusion it's better to learn to fly yourself. Then if you fancy hopping across the Channel for a few turns on the ski...

[caption id="attachment_1457" align="alignleft" width="250"] As our Mum said on seeing this picture 'You've got that determined look on your face'. Hmmm[/caption] On our recent visit to this rallying and supercar operator in Staffordshire, the guys and girls told us about this new supercar head to head experience that they are now offering - and it's a good one! You get to choose to drive two cars from a pool of four of the finest supercars out there at the moment : the Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, Ferrari 360, and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

As long as they're over 4'10" (that's 148cm) and aged between 12 and 16, your little car-mad darlings can actually get behind the wheel of some VERY expensive tin-wear driving supercars around the track. We love the fact that there's no need to have a driving license, as all driving is done on private race tracks. We also love the fact that their first driving experience could be in a seriously cool...

[caption id="attachment_1343" align="alignright" width="250"] Yes, that really is us at the wheel getting the Subaru to lean into the corner[/caption] It's not very often we're allowed to step away from the computer screen, so imagine our delight when we were shipped off to Staffordshire to drive some very fast cars. Getting our priorities right, we signed in and then headed straight for the cafe for a tasty bacon butty. Truth be told we were hoping it'd calm our nerves, but all we could see from the window was a whole plethora of shiny sports cars leaning into corners and that...
