There is more to motoring than just driving to and from work and renewing your car insurance. England has a proud motoring heritage and therefore boasts one of the most comprehensive ranges of interesting motor experiences that are great for days out with friends and family. Here are my top five: 5. Military Tank Driving. Ask yourself the following: is your Renault Clio still exciting you? Aren’t you sick of the lack of turning circle that your Volvo estate can manage? Well then, why not try a day out driving an actual 15 tonne tank?! Also included in this thrilling day out in Surrey are such activities as quad biking, 4x4ing, and even a bacon sandwich when you arrive in the morning. 4. Beaulieu. Beaulieu is situated in the heart of the New Forest in Southern England. Alongside the abbey and the James Bond museum, it is also home to the National Motor Museum which features a replica 1930s garage, an exhibition of Ducati motorbikes, and a ride that takes you on a journey from the birth of the wheel, and on into the future of motoring. 3. Coventry Transport Museum. Similarly, Coventry Transport Museum boasts a huge collection including over 200 cars, commercial vehicles and buses. Exhibitions change frequently with the focus currently being on custom bikes, including those owned by Charley Boorman. In March, the museum will be hosting a Doctor Who exhibition. 2. Superdriver Experience. This experience gives the wannabe 4x4 driver the opportunity to let rip in a variety of vehicles over a huge terrain that has been purpose-built. You need your wits about you as you navigate through mud splashes, down vertical drops, and into huge craters. There is also an award ceremony at the end of the day and the skills you learn are said to stay with you for the rest of your life. 1. Supercar Driving Experience. A day out driving supercars is a truly special experience. Try out such beautiful machines as the Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Aston Martin at high speed round the lap. Later, take the passenger seat with a professional who will really push the vehicle to its limit!
The amazing stories behind cars

Today, about 60 million cars are produced each year, but what do we really know about the history of the vehicle brands we see on the roads every day? Between boat engine manufacturer or family business in grain mills in the 1800s, each car brand has its own history, before becoming emblematic icons.

Electric cars on the rise

The themes of this year’s most Motor Shows are mainly dominated by electric cars. Many manufacturers presented their latest car models. It must be said that with all the bonuses offered by the state, the acquisition of an electric car seems to be advantageous.
