Sarah Mogford – Bristol – TVR Cerbera

"I liked the hands on style rather than lots of text and theory. Perhaps stopping somewhere with a loo half-way round!! Overall, Paul was excellent and did a great job in boosting confidence and skills. I am now looking forward to my weekend away in the car, rather than feeling nervous. Top day, thanks again. Also, big thanks to Julian for organising the day at the last minute."

Ryan Eley – Glasgow – Audi TT

"One of the best experiences behind the wheel of a car"

Ian Grant – Waterlooville, Hampshire – TVR Tuscan

"The introduction to high speed cornering was useful, and the course helped to reinforce some of my existing skills to confirm that I was a safe driver. Jon Woodhouse was very good, and this was a very good way to spend 4-hours on a summer evening in my TVR."

Dan Bowman - Tyne and Wear - Lotus Elise

I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the day, and that it completely exceeded my expectations.  Keith was a very comprehensive instructor, and made every effort to ensure I got exactly what I wanted out of the session.  He gave frank and honest feedback on my driving, and clear instruction on what I needed to be doing at any particular moment throughout the day.

In the last week or so I've had the opportunity to put what I've learned into practice when out driving on my own, and I can honestly say I feel far more connected and in control of the car than I have done in the previous 18 months of ownership - I only wish I'd done this course sooner!

I will most definitely be back for another session in the future, perhaps with some airfield time to look at the limit handling of the car to help me get the most out of it. I've colourfully recommended Ride Drive to other members of the SELOC Lotus owners club, as well as to other motoring enthusiasts in the area.

I'd be grateful if you could pass on my gratitude to Keith as well.

Many thanks again for your help,

Dan

"The most useful parts, gathering information and driving bends whilst maintaining speed"

Marina Rhode – Chislehurst, Kent - Porsche 911

"The concept of taking control of the road – using the other side when safe was most useful. Overall It was eye-opening and a thought provoking style of driving.”

Steve Wilson – Hatfield Heath, Hertfordshire - Aston Martin DB9

“I wish now I had longer, or a follow up session. Matthew (my instructor) was excellent.  Not only did he give really good advice, he had great interpersonal skills.  A great day.  Thank you.”

Alan Meyer – Chelmsford, Essex - Mazda MX-5

“I had not heard of Ride Drive, and was bought this as a gift.  However, I found this very beneficial and it should be compulsory after passing your driving test”

Peter Harris – Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire – Mazda 6

“Experience was good, conducted in professional manner displaying confidence and authority (seemed to know what he was talking about).”

Mike Hopkins – Jaguar X-type – Coventry

“Very enjoyable, excellent tutor, welcoming experience.”

Edward Kay – TVR Griffith – Litchfield, Staffs

“Very useful, instructor was absolutely brilliant – very down to earth and experienced.  The only thing to improve the experience could be to find quieter roads, but obviously that is extremely difficult for most times of the day.”

Christine Blandford - Market Drayton, Shropshire – TVR Tamora

"It was great. Andy was really clear with his instruction and helped my confidence very much.  The route we took was fantastic and varied so it gave me more chance to learn better techniques.  I have noticed a great improvement with my driving since!!”

Guy Haller – Knebworth, Herfordshire - Skoda Octavia vRS

Having been driving for 30-years with fairly wide experience, it was gratifying to know that my driving was of a high standard, but satisfying to know that you can teach an old dog new tricks (IPSGA).  The intelligent approach to the session was particularly good in the context of today’s nanny state.”

Michael Haller – Knebworth, Herfordshire - Skoda Octavia vRS

"Enlightening, well paced, respectful and succinct.”

Paul Bunting – Horsham, Sussex - TVR Griffith

"A quick note to feedback on a great morning session with John. Not only did I learn a lot more, but I also felt that doing a refresher some 6mths + after the full day session has merit in its own right for all Ride Drive customers. John was excellent as always and put me through my paces as expected. This was excellent, honest with direct feedback, which allows immediate development with real benefits for me and others.”

Anna Hammond – Epsom, Surrey – BMW M3

Kim Hollamby – Forrest Row, Sussex – Porsche 911

"A few easy to learn tips has enabled me to drive a car much smoother and safer, and for some reason you end up getting to where you are going a whole lot quicker.  Great instructor – no power gains and I wasn’t at any time made to feel like a pupil.  A fun and informative 4-hours."

Sarah Walters – Tamworth, Staffordshire – Toyota MR2

"We did an advanced motorcycle course and wanted to so a car course too.  Commentary was excellent, as was use of gears (ease and squeeze) overtaking and to strop being in love with second gear.  All positive and useful.  I was very nervous, but Mo dealt with it really well. Very positive and confidence building."

I feel more confident behind the wheel and look forward to a summer of enthusiastic driving."

Robert Bates – Tadley, Hampshire – TVR Tuscan

Laurence Dale – Sandhurst, Berkshire – Mitsubishi Evo

Simon Evans – Laxfield, Suffolk – TVR Tuscan

"An excellent combination of smooth bend work and fast, safe overtaking.  The most useful thing was the flexibility in being able to arrange this, and then the ability to tailor it to my needs."

Blaine Smith – Barwell, Leicestershire – TVR Wedge

"Excellent, realise what my car and I can do with the right tuition."

Roland Yates – Farnham, Surrey – VW Golf Gti

Julie White – Garston, Hertfordshire – TVR Chimaera

Martin Goodman – Church Cookham, Hampshire – TVR Griffith

“Excellent instruction on how to handle a powerful car – safely.”

Mark Lloyd – Farnham, Surrey – TVR Chimaera

“Excellent value.  I have learnt new skills, which I hope to put to good use.”

Ian Barrett – Kingston-on-Stour, Nottinghamshire – TVR Griffith

Karl Hughes – Nottingham – Hyundai Coupe

“Enjoyed every minute of the experience.  Very informative.”

Alan Morrin – Twickenham, London – Nissan 350Z

“Fun, informative.  Steve’s expertise is impressive.”

Bob Hinchliffe – Doncaster, Yorkshire – TVR Chimaera

“A relaxed, yet intensive session.  It certainly improved my awareness of speed limits, road signs etc.  Never felt that my driving was being overly criticized, and by the end of the session my confidence had been increased.  I was pleased that my ability to double-de-clutch was thought of as an asset.

Many thanks to Chris, who was a true gentleman, and who gave me food for thought with a framework within which to improve my driving skills.”

Ken Bond – Reading, Berkshire – TVR Chimaera

Gareth Thomas – Conningsby, Lincolnshire – TVR Chimaera

“An extremely informative and fun day on the road.  I was exhausted after just 4-hours, which emphasises the level of concentration needed.  Not until I was out in the TVR on my own afterwards did I really start appreciating everything I’d been taught, and then start to feel the benefit…..”

Ian Esland – Slough, Berkshire – TVR Chimaera  

“I came to the session hoping to learn something, and I wasn’t disappointed.  Steve put everything to me in a constructive and understandable way, and was quick to praise when I did something well.  The session already has changed my driving in some respects, and there are other aspects that will take longer.

Towards the end of my session, my drive through two sections of road were probably the best I have had in 41-years and in excess of a million miles!"

Mick Towell – Kettering, Nothamptonshire – TVR S2

“Clear, no-nonsense instruction.”

“Adrian put me at ease immediately.  My confidence improved and I did not feel intimidated by my weaknesses.  Thank you so much.”

Helene Kratesch, West London – Porsche 911

“I really enjoyed it and felt I learnt so much!”

Gavin Turner, Bromley, Kent – TVR Chimaera

“If I am honest I was expecting more subjects to be included in the session, but perhaps the progress was limited by my own abilities!  The major plus is that I have come away with a lot to learn.”

Mike Bennett, Bicester, Oxon – TVR Chimaera

“Good session.  Enjoyable, but I thought I would learn more than I did.  What I did learn was very useful and beneficial to my driving.”

Martyn Blayney, Royston, Herts – TVR Cerbera

“I didn’t really know what to expect, and was reassured over my driving style – learnt a few new tricks and had a great day.  Alan was most approachable and helpful – I hope he enjoyed it as much as I did.”

Scott Sherwood, Burnham, Berkshire – Ferrari

“Good experience.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  Would recommend to friends.  Intend to do further sessions in the near future.”

Chris Kay, Telford, Shropshire – Volvo T5

“Another enjoyable and useful session.  Thanks”

Liz Wright, Sale, Cheshire – Mazda MX-5

Nick Warner, Southampton – TVR Chimaera

“Challenging and fun.  Thought provoking.  Even my wife noticed a difference in my driving after the session with Ride Drive.  Paul was very good.  He gave clear explanations of the points he was trying to put across.  He also struck the right balance between criticism and encouragement.”

“Informative, challenging and bloody exciting all without being patronising!  Please pass on my thanks to Malcolm.  His manner and his patience were exceptional.”

“The session has allowed me to experience the potential of my Chimaera, and although I felt once or twice I was at the limit of my normal comfort zone, I had confidence in Paul.  Whilst he encouraged me, he made sure that that I was not uncomfortable with what he asked me to do.  As a result I feel happier and more enthusiastic.”

Richard Bradley, Preston, Lanceshire – Audi A3

“Great Experience.  Good fun, interesting and overall new techniques and tips learnt.”

Debbie Budgen, Hitchin, Hertfordshire – Mazda MX-5

“A very rewarding, informative and entertaining day.  Everyone should do it.  I am pushing your name to all our friends and contacts as something they should do and making people aware of you via Internet sites we go to.  Thanks very much.  Alan was great, very calm and helpful.  Thanks to him as well please?”

Asa Spencer-Hewett, Braintree, Essex – TVR 3000M

“Interesting and informative.  Pushed me past my comfort zone just enough!”

David Slater - Bracknell, Berkshire – Porsche 996C

“Interesting and informative day that pushed me past my comfort zone just enough.”

Simon Higginbottom – Slough – Porsche 911

Nichole Hughes – Warwickshire – TVR Griffith

“Brilliant – it gave me the confidence to drive our TVR on my own.”

Matthew Maneely – Bristol – TVR Griffith

“Useful to clarify an number of issues including safe overtaking and best use of the road during cornering.  As a tool for drivers of sports cars this is more important than any other upgrade they may carry out.”

Robin Hudson – Surrey – TVR Chimaera

“Excellent tutor who was very professional and good value for money.”

Phillip Wiles – Manchester – Holden GTS

“Owning and driving a powerful car is both exciting and intimidating – and comes with it responsibility.  After the two session with Greg I’m far more relaxed, continually safer and totally enjoying my car.”

Richard Pullen – Tewksbury, W. Mids – TVR Tuscan

“Very, very good and informative.  More people should experience this sort of tuition and I will recommend it to friends etc.  Many thanks!

Richard Cosgrave – Burgess Hill, West Sussex – TVR Chimaera

“I think that this demonstrates that even if you are an average to good driver it takes longer than 4-hours to learn the basic skills and to use them to your advantage.  I would particularly like to compliment my tutor on his knowledge, teaching skills, patience and to thank him for making it a very enjoyable and useful session.”

Mark Rice – Chelmsford, Essex – TVR Chimaera

“Good session, good advice and feedback done in a very positive style.  Very enjoyable.  Thanks very much!”

Sue Knight – Middlesex – TVR Chimaera

“Wow……  Another 4-hour session.  I feel safer and with more control of my Chimaera.  Steve gave me a better understanding of my surroundings, handling and consequences of corrective braking, gears, acceleration and road positioning. I will, and already have, recommended your services and will be back myself.”

Rachel Merrick – Berkshire – MG TF

“It was the best thing I have done since buying the car.  I had a great time, learnt so much and enjoy the car even more.”

Steve Walker – Yorkshire – TVR Chimaera

“I benefited hugely from this session.  The instructor was enthusiastic, constructive and progressive with an excellent style of coaching.  The skills that I have learned have improved my enjoyment of my TVR, but would also be relevant to drivers with other cars.  I will certainly recommend Ride Drive to friends and will be back myself.  Thanks very much.  Hugely rewarding and excellent value.  I am happy for this to be used as a testimonial.”

Susan Staff – Buckinghamshire – TVR Cerbera

“It was enjoyable and challenging.  The session would have been better if the roads had been clearer.  I found power management through bends, gear control and realising that it’s okay to rev the nuts off the car!”

Mark Fitch – Coventry – TVR Griffith

“Excellent session, really helpful and would like to do further sessions to work on the new skills that I have started to develop.  I know what I will be asking for Christmas this year – another gift voucher!”

Andrew Gray – London – TVR Chimaera

“I found power management and reading the road environment very useful.  My session ran over a bit, but I could have stayed out all day.  Why this course isn’t made mandatory, like CBT for motorcyclists, for anyone that purchases any type of high performance car such as this is beyond me!

You can spend hundreds and thousands of pounds on modifications to high performance cars to make them potentially perform better, but what is the point if you can’t drive the standard version to its limits?  In only half a day you learn a lot about the vehicle you are driving and road techniques that you can apply to any car.  Having an ex, or existing, traffic police officer like Tom sitting next to you advising you throughout the drive is fantastic!  Please keep me informed as to how and when I can continue to keep building on my driving experience?”

Tim Meredith – Essex – TVR Cerbera

“An extremely worthwhile experience.  Informative, enjoyable and an excellent confidence builder.  I think everyone, of whatever level, has a reason to do this course.”

Nigel Childs - North London - TVR Chimaera

"An absolute blast! Lee made me feel very comfortable and has shown me in a short time how to get so much more from my car. His explanations were clear and concise - and very quickly I felt my confidence growing. In short order my car was locked to the road as we focused on the observational skills needed to use this new found stability to the full. My biggest weakness had been with cornering - but now I have something to build upon and to practice more effectively."

Tony Noblet - Essex - TVR Chimaera

"Well worthwhile, never felt pressured or undermined. Instructor friendly and confident. I would be interested in doing more, and on a track."

Colin Elliott – Nottingham – TVR Griffith

“I have never learned so much in such as short time, and without even realising it!”

John McPhee - Tyne and Wear - TVR Tuscan

Barbara Williamson - Surrey - TVR Chimaera

“I feel much more confident and in control of the car. Steve is an excellent trainer and after only a few minutes my nerves had gone and I was really enjoying myself. Everyone who drives a TVR should book one of these sessions.”

Steve Lane - Buckingham  - Porsche 911 Turbo

“ Phil was a really nice guy, he boosted my confidence in a car that I had only driven for a week previously.  I found the session very useful and enjoyable.”

Alexandra Denman - Surrey - TVR Chimaera

Emma Park - Hampshire TVR – Chimaera

Alistair Small - Cambridge - TVR Chimaera 450

He was first class and I thank him again for everything.”

Glenn Cooper - Romford, Essex - TVR Chimaera

“This was truly a great experience, which left me wanting much more. Adrian was excellent and although he changed my whole style of driving he let me to do it at my own pace. I felt very relaxed with him and trusted his advice 100%.

Although I only had a 4-hour session, and there is a limit to what you can pick up in such a short space of time, I found that Adrian had laid the foundations for many hours of fun practising such things as road positioning, braking, gear changing, cornering and overtaking. I was astounded at the difference in my driving techniques after the session and the subsequent effect of smoothness, but extra control whilst driving with much more confidence.

This session really did remind me of why I bought the car and how much fun I could safely have in it.”

Paul & Emma Brettle - Newmarket, Suffolk - TVR Tuscan Speed-Six

“The day was excellent. The best illustration of its success must been taken from my wife, who says * "I can drive it anywhere now.  She was, as I was, a little intimidated by the car and this experience was what we both needed to boost confidence with it.  I couldn't ask for more.  Thanks again for an excellent day.”

Jeff Longstaff - Tyne and Wear - TVR Cerbera

“I found the half-day session most useful in boosting my confidence of my driving ability and also there was much to improve upon especially with road awareness, positioning and the balance of the car.  £120 seems a lot, but afterwards is certainly good value for money.”

Garry Wright - South Shields - TVR Chimaera

“I thoroughly enjoyed the day and learned how to drive a TVR to its full potential on country roads and at speed, something I would not have done prior to the session.  I would recommend that ALL TVR drivers have at least one session to make sure they are getting the most out of their cars.  I will certainly be coming back to Ride Drive in the future!”
