Well, it was a Christmas gift off my Wife :) Details can be found here http://www.activitysuperstore.com/ It is the Ferrari driving experience. Apparently I've been so nice to her this weekend that she's looking at another activity, possibly the supercar experience or the F1 academy :) I am a very lucky man !! :) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> PS.
