neeeeeeeeeek Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 My brother is 50 very soon, my mum wants to surprise him with a treat. She asked me to look for a track day as she can't think of anything else. He has taken his own car on a track day before so I was trying to think of something else. His car is a Subaru not a Ferrari but at least he got to hurtle round for an hour rather than just one lap. I suggested a parachute jump but she wasn't too keen on that idea! Any other suggestions? Can't easily really go away as wife and kids etc so a weekend break might be more trouble than it's worth. What else can she get him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I did a glider 'experience' at the great hucklow club for my birthday last year (actually did it in June as the weather was nicer). That was something totally different and much fun. I got the chance to fly the thing for probably 20 mins with the instructor behind me talking me through it.

vwkittie Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 You can get rally driving and off road experiences too that might be a bit more different. I got a supercar experience for xmas a couple of years back and it was really good, got to drive 4 different cars. I've got a glider experience as well actually but not booked it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ll49 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 My best friend has just bought her husband a tank driving experience which is something different and may be something he’d enjoy. We’ve just bought my husband’s parents a virgin experience which is a five course meal on a steam train and an afternoon/evening ride on the train with stops at a few different places of interest to train enthusiasts. I guess it’s all down to his likes/dislikes. Hope you find him something he really enjoys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 A short break away sounds good! Can't easily really go away as wife and kids etc so a weekend break might be more trouble than it's worth. Errrmm, didn't he say not going away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
