Why buy from us?
An experience like no other for all of you Ford fanatics out there. Get behind the wheel of three monstrous V8's straight from the heart of the USA. With over 40 years between the production of the first of the three and the last, this experience provides three completely different drives.
With this experience, you will be driving a 1965 Shelby Mustang GT350, the best of its time, providing a lovely V8 noise from a 4.7-litre to give you a taste of what's in store. You will also drive a 2005 Ford Mustang GT500, 40 years newer than the GT350, providing a completely different drive. Its 5-litre V8 boasts an impressive 415 BHP and a purr to die for, sure to leave a smile on your face. Finally, the last car you will be driving is an absolute icon, an original Shelby Mustang GT500 from 1967. This car, probably better known as Eleanor for all you film people (Gone in 60 Seconds), is the crème de la crème of the Mustang world. The tuned 428 cubic inch Ford Racing V8 boasts an impressive 386bhp horsepower and an outrageous noise like no other.

Our ethos is that your 'experience' should begin from the moment you first browse the site and we can deliver this because of:
- once you buy a voucher you are not then left to book the experience yourself. We handle your booking from A-Z, not only providing online dates but also dealing with the supplier to secure your date. Even after you have had your experience, we will ask you for a review of the event to ensure everything went ok.
- Our core staff have been working in the industry since 2004 and have all the experience necessary to deliver the experience that is perfect for you.
- Each venue and provider has been vetted by us and reviewed by our customers meaning we can give you honest, unbiased advice about what you are ordering.
- We have 3 lines of communication; phone, chat and email and our customer service centre is open 6 days a week. The average answer time for our call centre to answer is 20 seconds and we have a vast help section where you should be able to find any answer online.
- Once you have chosen a date, we will help to ensure that you get the confirmation in time for your event and if need be we will liaise with the supplier on your behalf if there is a problem.
- After each event we invite our customers to review the venue and the provider. This valuable feedback is then used to improve our service and also made public to other customers considering the same event.
