Hi, I wanted to write and say a really big thank you to everyone who helped made my mom's Ultimate Driving Experience day on thursday (14th) a really amazing day. My brother and i bought her the Ultimate Driver's Experience plus extras for her 70th birthday last November. When she opened up the envelope with the voucher & read it all, she laughed & laughed. Already a wee bit excited at just seeing the voucher. Then we talked about it & explained all that was involved. I don't think she could really quite believe it, but we knew Mum would really enjoy the experience. The actual day was amazing, the weather was perfect and everyone that we met just made such a huge effort making sure we all enjoyed the day. My mom loved every minute of the whole day and i'm sure it couldn't have been better. She really is still quite thrilled. We'd definitely recommend the Ultimate Driving Experience as a special gift!

I would like to extend my thanks to all the Staff for making today a thoroughly enjoyable and exciting Ultimate Driving Experience. As a Coach myself, I know how important it is to put people at their ease and this they all did brilliantly. Many thanks again.

Just a quick email to say what a fantastic day we both had today on our Ultimate Driving Experience day!! Two grinning "children" came home (reluctantly!) this afternoon. We were seriously impressed by the whole day and everyone, starting with yesterday on the phone, was so helpful and enthusiastic.

Just to say we had a superb day on the Ultimate Driving Experience, although arriving late but made to still feel welcome! Will be back soon with out a doubt . . . still buzzing! Thanks again.

Good morning, just a quick thank you to everyone involved last Wednesday at the Ultimate Driving Experience experience. I and my family had a great day, hope to come back and try something else some other time. The whole event was very professionally run, special thanks to Max.
