Fire Engine and Military Vehicle Driving plus Passenger Ride
About this experience
Experience a heavy-duty driving day with a difference. This incredible triple-header will see you getting your hands on a fire engine, a military vehicle, and a ride in either a Bedford ‘Green Goddess’ or the Alvis Stalwart.
First up is the fire engine driving seat. Your instructor will talk you through the controls before you set off with 240bhp at your feet. You’ll stop off to try some more complicated manoeuvres including reverse parking and the ‘wall test.’ Then you’ll take the controls of the Leyland DAF 45/150. Your absolute monster of a truck weighs in at just over 6 tonnes, so you’ll know all about the power coming up from that huge diesel engine.
Back at HQ you’ll switch over to either the phenomenal Alvis Stalwart or the historic Bedford ‘Green Goddess.’ Each legendary machine offers something different and remarkable and is sure to put a multi-tonne cherry on top of a memorable day.

“Amazing company and amazing experience”
I booked this for my husband for his birthday. Sue was lovely on arrival and Mike was very good and informed about each of the vehicles. The communications before the event were great and lots of directions given to get to the venue. My husband really enjoyed it and for £10 I got to be a passenger too. Will definitely be returning.
“Greatest day for a long time ”
Great day and what an amazing experience well recommend
