What do you get if you cross a Lambrghiniorghini with a ski slope?! Lot’s of powersliding fun is the answer.
The following is a video that was done by “Reiter Engineering”, a tuning company used to turn Lamborghinis into race cars, that basically shows them using a ski slope they rented for the day to clown around on in their heavily modified Reiter Lamborghini Gallardo Strada.
We suggest your tuen your speakers up and enjoy the sounds that this beatuy makes as it powers over the white stuff.
It is actually impressive stuff seeing a supercar like this powering up a snow covered ski run, not many cars could manage such a feat!
Some youngsters are learning to drive at the age of just 11 but there are pros and cons to this.
There are numerous “Young Driver” or “Early Drive” companies about who will teach youngsters the basics of driving a car before they are at the legal age to drive a car on the road at 17.
Youngsters, as young as 11 are able to get behind the wheel of a dual control car and learn how to drive it at specialist courses set up for those too young to drive legally on the road. The courses cost around £55 per hour and take place not on the public roads (as this would be illegal) but on private land with a qualified instructor also in the car.
The venues that these early driving experiences take place at include some of the various race circuits around the country.
What is more, for some the early drive experience can take a twist and it is possible that on a youngsters first day of being behind the wheel of a car they could find themselves having a Ferrari driving experience or to be doing some rally driving as there is also driving experiences that will allow youngsters to do this.
The issue that some have with standard early drive lessons is that although a child or young person may be able to do the basics to drive a car they are probably not mature enough or ready to understand what it is like to drive on the real roads.
Some argue that some youngsters will not take as many real driving lessons when they are aged 17 or above if they have taken an early drive course and instead rush through to pass their driving test instead of having a full learning process when they are able to legally on the road.
Others argue that the early learn driving experiences are good and that it will give youngsters a basic understanding and be ready to fully learn the more important parts of driving when they come to learn for real.

As far as supercars go the Ferrari Enzo is likely to be on almost everyones list of supercars to drive.
Then there is the Ferrari FXX, this is a modified version of the Enzo and has been limited to a production of just 30 of them with only those lucky enough being invited to buy one.
The thing with the FXX is that it is not road legal and owners can only drive it when Ferrari put on a driving experience day available for the owners to give their beast a drive, the owners don’t even get to keep it as Ferrari keep them stored for their owners too!
So for any Ferrari Enzo owners who would like to buy an FXX but would like to drive it on the road there is a solution. A German car turning company called Edo Competition take your Enzo and over the course of 3 months will transform it into what is in all extent and purpose a Ferrari FXX as they will change the looks and how it performs. Most importantly the transformation also means that it will be road legal, meaning that it can be driven where you want!
The engine has been increased from 660bhp up to 840bhp with the weight being reduced by 210lbs.
Edo Competition have called their tuned Ferrari Enzo the Enzo XX Evolution which won’t have made the guys at Ferrari happy, the fact alone that any Ferrari getting modified won’t impress them either.
So, all we need to hope for now is that one of the driving experience companies buys a Ferrari Enzo, pays the hefty fee to puts it through the transformation into the Enzo XX Evolution and then let us car fanatics take it on track. That said, we think a Ferrari driving experience in an Enzo alone would be more than most of us could dream of doing!

There is many of us out here who love the challenge and are super competitive and don’t like to lose. There could well be talk amongst friends of who is the best driver, well why not go and find out in a safe and legal way?
Go-Karting is the perfect place to pit your driving skills against that of friends in an equal environment, it’s the stomping ground of where many F1 stars such as Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button started out learning their trade and is the perfect place to slog it out on the track against friends.
On most other driving experiences you won’t get in a racing situation and won’t be racing against others, this is where Go-Karting comes into it’s own and proves to be so much fun.
You get to drive as fast as you can against others, this makes for that added extra spice that other driving experiences don’t offer. Yes a Go-Kart is hardly going to compare to saying you had a Ferrari driving experience in term of impressing people but in terms of the fun for the money you spend a Go-Karting experience is up there with the best you can do.
Read about a Buckmore Park Karting experience review to see how much fun a Go-Karting day can be.
Karting experiences start from under £50 depending on which you choose. The professional Karting circuits offer some of the best karts to do you racing in, they can reach speeds of up to 70mph which when your sat just a few inchs from the tarmac feels twice that!
You have the choice of indoor or outdoor circuits to choose form, Buckmore Park is on the the UK’s leading outdoor circuits located in Kent, then you have the Daytona circuits that are indoor Karting circuits and located around the country in Manchester, Milton Keynes and Surrey.
Now let’s not beat around the bush with this one, the Ariel Atom is hardly the sexiest or best looking car and isn’t going to win any beauty contests when put up next to a Ferrari 360 or Lamborghini Gallardo is it.
The thing is the Ariel Atom hasn’t been built with it’s looks as the defining feature, heck it doesn’t even have any doors, roof or screen, it’s been with the aim of speed in mind and on them stakes it will be able to drive away from that beauty contest way faster than the Ferrari or Lamborghini can!
The Ariel Atom is very lightweight and weighs in at just 456kg and comes with either a 245bhp engine 300bhp if you get the supercharged one. Now when you factor in the weight and engine power you will see it works out at 600bhp per ton which is just immense and is little wonder that it can do a 0-60 time in 2.7 seconds!
For those Top Gear fans out there, the Ariel Atom sits right up towards the top of their Fastest Lap leaderboard in 11th spot and did it’s lap of the Top Gear track in 1.19.5, just 1.2 seconds slower than Bugatti Veyron and only half a second slower than a Ferrari Enzo!
As a comparison back the the Lamborghini Gallardo that managed a lap in 1.25.7 it shows that it is in another league in the speed stakes!
So now we have got a few facts and figures out of the way you will be shocked to hear that you can drive this immensely powerful car on an Ariel Atom driving experience day for just £75! No, that is not an error, we did mean £75!
If you want a real driving experience in a car that is solely designed to go at stupid speeds and be able to handle that speed then we think the money to smiles ratio with an Ariel Atom driving experience is off the scale and is definitely one of the fastest driving experiences available to book!
Now we know that a passenger ride may not sound the best driving experience thrill to take part in but we still stand by the fact that they are absolutely brilliant fun.
It’s all well and good us telling you that they are great fun but why should you part with your hard earnt to go for a passenger ride?!
Well the best way to think about it is along the lines of a rollercoaster ride. For anyone who rides rollercoasters knows that the thrill comes from it going fast and the feeling like you are close to the edge while in reality you are perfectly safe as you are strapped in and the roller coaster ride is stuck on a track that it doesn’t come off.
Now with a high speed passenger ride you get the speed of a professional taking you round a track (be it a supercar round a race circuit or a rally car around a rally driving track), they will push the car to it’s limits, so much so that you will feel that it is impossible what they can do with the car, unlike the roller coaster you don’t have the knowledge that you are on a perfectly set path as the driver chooses this for you. You will be driven right to the edge and this is something to experience.
Seeing the difference of a professional driver showing you what is possible behind the wheel of a car makes you realise (in most cases) that compared to them your driving skills are no way near close.
Imagine a 4 wheel powerslide that lets the car drift to the perfect point on the race track or high speed handbrake turns done perfectly.
Seriously, getting to experience what it is like to be driven round a circuit by a professional driver is well worth the money and is a great experience for young and old alike. This one is even open to the children who can experience the thrill and probably won’t stop talking about it until they get their own driving license (hopefully they will also keep the handbrake turns and donuts to a track…)
There are various high speed passenger rides available, such as supercar passenger rides, rally driving passenger ride, single seater passenger ride (the irony in that one), dragster passenger ride, Harley Davidson passenger ride or Lotus or Caterham passenger rides.
