My wife bought me a driving experience for my birthday and last weekend I was let loose in a Spartan armoured personnel carrier, a Dennis Sabre fire engine and a Leyland 4-tonne army truck. The Spartan was fun to drive (and pretty quick too). I'd enjoy trying that out on some properly rough terrain (preferably without being shot at). The fire engine was surprising. Again, it was pretty quick for its size and (with rear wheel steering) it's surprisingly manoeuvrable with an incredibly tight turning circle. I even managed to parallel park it without killing the cone markers...
The Leyland was pretty much what I expected. I've spent some time in the back of these things and I remember the sharp brakes sending unsuspecting people flying, so the grabby brakes were no surprise. Good levels of grip though. All in all, it was a fun (and informative) couple of hours!
