Think of movies and what else springs to mind? Popcorn, of course! So, to celebrate National Popcorn Day on Sunday 19th January, we take a look at some of our favourite Movie Car Driving Experiences, where you can swap the silver screen for the driving seat.
Many great movies include an action-packed car chase scene and incredible stunts. With DrivingExperience, you can get a taste of what it must have been like for film icons such as Burt Reynolds, Nicolas Cage, Vin Diesel and Robert Downey Jr when they put pedal to the metal.
One of our most popular experiences is our movie car thrill which lets you drive one vehicle from a fleet of fantastic selection of movie cars.
Are you a fan of Transformers, The Fast and the Furious or Smokey and the Bandit? We thought so, and with our movie car thrill you'll feel as close to the action as is possible.
The world's most famous secret agent James Bond (ironic that he's so well-known, when he's meant to be secret!) has a passion for classy British cars.
Among his most memorable models are the Jaguar E-Type (Thunderball), Lotus Esprit Turbo (For Your Eyes Only) and Aston Martin V8 (The Living Daylights).
And it's a case of From Surrey with Love as you have the pleasure of driving one of these magnificent motors for up to two hours in the beautiful countryside for 100 miles with our James Bond Style Car Hire experience. The name's Experience, DrivingExperience.com.
While 1969's Italian Job is synonymous with Mini Coopers, another vehicle which played a starring role at the end of the great film was the Harrington Legionnaire coach. We won't tell you what happens, just in case you haven't seen it.
For those who do know the plot, then our Italian Job Bus driving experience will let you honour the exploits of Sir Michael Caine, aka Charlie Croker, and his crew.
The experience includes driving the bus for 20 minutes, and as there were only 59 ever built, then it's also a rare opportunity to enjoy this instantly recognisable bus.
One loveable little car spawned a movie franchise that started in the 1960s and led to six films being made, the last one, Herbie Fully Loaded, hitting screens in 2005.
Of course, the car in question is Herbie, a Volkswagen Beetle, with the iconic number '53' paintwork. Our Movie Car Blast with Mazda MX5 Passenger Ride puts you in the driving seat of a Beetle styled on the famous car. But that's not all, as the experience climaxes with a high speed passenger ride in a Mazda MX5. All-in-all, a very enjoyable drive and ride.
Film fanatics looking to totally immerse themselves in the action can opt for our Six Movie Car Blast Driving Experience.
This awesome experience turns its lens on other unforgettable movies including Bullitt and Ironman. By the time you're finished, then simply watching a movie will never feel quite the same again!
