Richard Hooper - Yeovil, Somerset - TVR Chimaera

"Learnt soooooo much in one day. I must also say that Peter was superb. Made me feel at ease from the start and throughout the day. A credit to your business. I will be recommending him to Bristol region TVR CC."

Dimitra Flynn - West London - Honda S2000 (Adrian Flux Scheme)

Malcolm Rees – Bedworth Warwickshire – TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)

"My experience was much better than I thought it would be. The day was made much better by the high standard of driving tuition from my instructor, Paul Davis from Leicestershire. I would recommend this instructor to anyone."

Michael Paddock – Church Stretton, Shropshire – Honda Integra (Adrian Flux Scheme)

"Informative, enjoyable and very effective. I already feel it has made me a safer, smooth driver. Thanks very much to all at Ride Drive."

Adrian Blackburn – Canterbury, Kent - Nissan 350Z

"Bend assessment, proper gear selection when approaching roundabouts, proper push/pull steering techniques were all useful. Matt is an excellent coach and I learned so much during the day. We also got to drive some excellent B-roads due to Matt’s encyclopaedia knowledge of Kent roads. So as well as learning lots it was extremely enjoyable also."

Mark De Brett – Twickenham, Middlesex - TVR

"It was useful to learn the use of the car in cornering and overtaking, linked in with better ways to read the road. I was most impressed with the whole day. Graham’s manner was friendly and informative, and his knowledge helped dispel many myths about rules of the road. I would recommend this to any driving enthusiast and those thinking becoming enthusiasts."

Robert Meier – Hook, Hampshire - TVR Wedge

"Faster, safer driving on country roads, to make use of available road width and improved smoother gear changes was useful. Jon taught me how to improve down gear changes, better danger awareness, smoother driving skills and improved cornering lines. He was very chatty, friendly, gave full explanations on where I could improve. A great experience, thank you Jon."

Andrew Marratt – Epson, Surrey - VW Bora

Ian Mogloine - Liverpool - TVR Sagaris

"Very impressed with the overall experience."

Oliver Holt - Sonning, Berkshire - Mercedes SL500

“Enjoyable, informative.”

Camilla Shepherd - Harrogate, Yorkshire - Porsche Boxter(Adrian Flux Scheme)

"Most useful was cornering, steering and use of gears. Overall, Very enjoyable and helpful.  Would definitely recommend to others.”

Angela Zimmermann - Northamptonshire - Porsche 911

“An extremely thrilling and enjoyable day, learning to drive a performance car the way it was designed to be driven.  Getting the most from man and machine.”

Richard Bonwick - Gloucester - Lotus Elise

“The early confusion over days and whether I wanted a track session was frustrating, especially when my planned session was cancelled at such short notice.  However, that was put behind us on the day and although it was hard work (200-miles over 6-hours) it was enjoyable and informative.  I just have to practise now.  Still learning after 40-years driving, 19 of which have been at advanced level.”

Steve Brownless – North Yorkshire - TVR Tuscan (Adrian Flux Scheme)

Fantastic.  I have driven on average 50k a year for 12-years and only now understand how to take a corner properly.  My wife says she felt safer in the car after my first 4-hour session.”

John Denton –Abergavenny, South Wales - TVR Cerbera (Adrian Flux Scheme)

“Had a very enjoyable (if exhausting) and intense day.  Kevin was excellent and covered a lot during the day.”

Ross Leppard – Walderslade, Kent  - TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)

"Positioning on the road and judging corners was most useful. A very useful and enjoyable day.”

Fiona Gibson – Kidlington, Oxford  - Mazda MX-5 (Adrian Flux Scheme)

"I had a great time, and feel that my driving has dramatically improved.”

Graham Jeffs – Malmsbury, Wiltshire – TVR Griffith (Adrian Flux Scheme)

"Great experience.  Happy that overall that my driving was good so the experience meant minor changes plus new learning.  Keith is a great bloke – a real asset and totally put me at ease.  I may be interested in booking some airfield time in the future (when I need new tyres!!).”

Peter Welch – Arumdel, West Sussex – Honda S2000

"I learned to control the car better and take in more information on road conditions.  I am working on my approach to hazards (speed, gears etc) and would like a refresher course in 6-months.  My instructor, Duncan Page, actually thought I was a good driver!!”

Steve Bennett – Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk – TVR Chimaera

“Well planned route with good mix of roads, confidence building, introduced new ideas, e.g. road position prior to overtaking, practical and realistic fun!”

Rob Fox – Reading, Berkshire – TVR Tuscan

"A thoroughly enjoyable and educational experience.  Mike is a great communicator and good company.”

Jeremy Cross – Tunbridge, Kent – Jaguar X-Type

Michael Akroyd – Ashford, Surrey – Ferrari 575 (Adrian Flux Scheme)

Lindsay Thompson – Chandles Ford, Hampshire – Volvo XC90

I had recently changed cars from hot hatches to an auto 4x4, and to be honest was dreading driving the Volvo. Dave (who has nerves of steel) gave me so much confidence in realising the size and capabilities of the car.  He helped with parking, figure of 8 manoeuvring, town and country driving and using the trip-tronic system.  He was great fun to be with, but also extremely professional too.  My husband is very impressed with the improvement in my driving – I wished I had done this years ago.

Brian Rosevear – Falmouth, Cornwall – Honda S2000

Excellent enjoyable experience.

Matt Dawson – Carlisle – Mazda RX-8

Initial minor apprehension quickly evaporated.  Alan Nelson has an excellent manner and an accomplished teaching style.  I thoroughly enjoyed the session and took away some lasting messages.

Lee Mott – Reading, Berkshire – Honda S2000

I thought it was a very useful and informative day.  Friendly instructor, provided clear instruction.  Seems a very professional and honest company who I would not hesitate to recommend to others.  Keep up the good work

Charles Mitford-Cust – Salisbury – Ferrari 550

Totally excellent.  Alan Steel is an extremely experienced and top quality instructor with an easy manner and a sense of humour.

Mike Simpson – Aberdeen - Porsche Boxter

First Class.  I look forward to working on my techniques.  Alex was very affable and an excellent instructor.

John Bricklebank – York – TVR Cerbera

Hard work mentally. Good fun and well worth it.

Mike Parkin – Grantham, Lincolnshire – TVR Chimaera

Useful informative fun

Richard Cracknell – Woking, Surrey – TVR Tuscan

I enjoyed the experience immensely and Alan was very good at explaining the techniques.  We will be completing the programme at a future date with the skid car.

Alan Spence – Gloucestershire – Toyota MR2

I really couldn’t fault the experience.  My instructor explained everything and gave good encouragement and feedback.  My driving is certainly better than it was – in fact, I was going to upgrade my car this year, but now I am going to upgrade and improve my skills.  Thoroughly enjoyable, good value and very beneficial – you’ll be seeing me on one of your other courses in the future.

Tim Southworth – London – Honda S2000

A truly fantastic and very worthwhile experience.

Rob Fergey – Grays, Essex – TVR Cerbera

I would just like to say a big thank you to both yourself and Andy for being so accommodating.  I had a great day and went away with plenty to think about and to practise to improve my driving technique.  I felt that all aspects of improvement was suggested and not at all patronising.  I would whole-heartedly recommend this to all serious drivers.

Kieron O’Toole – Liverpool – TVR Chimaera

Mike was an excellent instructor who remained calm at all times.  This allowing me to build up my confidence.  Would recommend.

Steve Foster – Leeds – Jaguar XK8

Stuart was excellent.  He was forth write and honest, and told me what I needed to hear rather than what I wanted to hear.  He did so in a way that did not embarrass or belittle, and was very supportive of the improvement.  I could have done with this 30-years ago!

Robbie Roskell – Netherby, Dorset – TVR Griffith

James provided precise and friendly instruction, which took immediate effect on driving style – I am looking forward to practising all methods given.

Daniel Norman, Finchamstead, Berkshire, Seat Leon Cupra

A very useful and enjoyable experience.  Positive all round

Adrian Eygelsheim – North Wales – Honda S2000

Excellent instructor, and enjoyable day where my present skills were improved

Russell Ford – London – TVR Chimaera

No matter how good or safe a driver we think we are, based upon experience gained since passing our test, only a very few of us just acquire advanced skills.  The rest of us need to be taught.  I acquired so many new skills in such a short space of time.

Graham Sewell – Reading, Berkshire – Caterham 7

Steve managed to pick up on some of my bad habits and help correct them without being patronising.  This was very useful and exactly why I booked the session

Mike Davies – Hessle, East Yorkshire – Audi A8

Comprehensive, focussed, enjoyable, rewarding.  Instructors experience beyond question.

Ian Phillips – Newark, Nottinghamshire – Nissan 350Z

A most enjoyable, informative and rewarding days driving.

Maria Carlton – West Malling, Kent – Audi S2

A big thank you to Adrian for such an interesting and informative day.  Yes it was fun too.  I have got lots of information to process and to practise.  I knew I had a fantastic car, but I didn’t realise I was capable of exploiting so much of its potential on public roads.

Ian Critchley – Birkenhead, Cheshire – Porsche Boxter

Brilliant!  It’s a long time I felt so confident to drive so fast!

Russell Goddard – Lancing, West Sussex – Mercedes AMG

The start of a different driving style.  Instructor was very good

Bob Hollister – Corfe Castle, Dorset – TVR Chimaera

“I did this as two half-days.  I went into the first session knowing I could drive, but hoping I would pick up a few tips.  Thanks to Andy’s approach I soon realised that I needed to re-assess my whole approach to driving.  His honest appraisal and sound reasoned advice was superb, and just what I needed.  Teach an old dog new tricks?  I certainly hope so!”

Tony Catling – Buckingham – TVR Tuscan

“Just a short line to thank you for helping me drive my TVR in a safer and yet more enjoyable manner than I was before. I really enjoyed the sessions we had and am trying to incorporate your advice into my driving style. Not so easy after 26 years of bad habits. Nevertheless I have made good progress and am even more excited when I get in the TVR now.

I learnt a lot.  I enjoyed my experience, but I learnt to enjoy more the driving of my car.  Not ever having had any advanced tuition, my experience with Ride Drive can be compared to a fog being lifted.  Thanks.”

Graham Hurrell – Sudbury, Suffolk - Ferrari Mondial

“Steve was excellent company for the day and gave me confidence and useful information.  A more structured de-brief at the end of the day might be a good idea.  All in all a great day out!”

Guy Humpage – Weymouth, Dorset – Volvo S60

“An excellent day.  The instructor was very helpful and explained concepts clearly.  The only criticism I can think of is that the instructor did not take a turn at the wheel to demonstrate how it should be done.”

Paul Whitfield, Hook, Hampshire – TVR Chimaera (2x Half-Days)

“My two half-day sessions were tremendous and I have learned so many new techniques. I feel much more confident in my own ability and I think I have learned techniques that will make me a safer and better driver at whatever speed!  A great experience, thank you.”

Cindy Wood - Poole, Dorset – TVR Chimaera (2x Half-Day)

This gave me lots of confidence to drive the TVR properly and legally.

Phil Barnes – Fareham, Hampshire – TVR Chimaera (2x Half-Day)

“Worthwhile and really enjoyable.”

Alan Leal – London – TVR Tamora (Full-Day)

“An excellent day with a very pleasant instructor, who made me very much aware of my driving skills.”

Russell Baker – Bristol – TVR Tuscan (2x Half-Day)

“Superb, Absolutely superb!!!!  These three words, I feel, best sum up my overall impression of the recent two-part TVR Advanced Driving Experience, which I have recently undertaken with Ride Drive.

After first discussing in some detail what my actual requirements from the session were, and also having the opportunity to discuss any apprehensions that I had been harbouring, it didn’t take long before we were heading off down the road in a manner, which I can only describe as grin inducing.

The attention to detail shown by Paul to ensure that the input fulfilled all of my expectations was pinpoint in its accuracy and highlighted even more how there is simply no substitute quality and expert training, especially in this one-to-one environment.

Throughout the entire eight hours I never once felt that my driving skills were being questioned, and in fact, I felt that I was actually being encouraged and praised in such a way that my confidence level increased with each minute that passed. All the exercises that were performed were carried out in a totally professional, and just as importantly, friendly manner and were practices until a full understanding as to their purpose was achieved.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough and feel very passionate that this type of tuition should be mandatory with the acquisition of any high performance vehicle for those who are in the fortunate position to own.

As I said at the beginning, absolutely superb!!!!”

Paul Roberts – London – TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“Very useful, very enjoyable and Tom was very good.  I feel much more competent in the car.”

Mark Wrafter – London – TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“The experience was invaluable, and learnt so much starting as soon as we drove down the first road.  My instructor was excellent – pushing me to my limits, but with the emphasis on safety.  I have already been recommending it to (supposedly??) experienced TVR drivers.

Lynn Chamblerlain – Norfolk – TVR Griffith (Full-Day)

“This course has been hugely beneficial to me.  I have completely gained confidence in driving the TVR – something I was beginning to doubt I ever would.  Many thanks to Ride Drive and to my tutor.”

Chris Collingham – Potten End, Hertfordshire – Alfa Romeo 166 (Full-Day)

“A great day.  Phil was very, very easy to get on with.  I found the aerodrome part more valuable than I had expected.”

Jonathon Glover – Wiltshire – Peugeot 406 V6 (Full-Day)

“Enjoyable and informative.  I am currently using the techniques as explained on a daily basis.  Thanks for the day.”

Craig Adamson – Stockton on Tees – Volvo T5 (Full-Day)

“Very good.  The day went very quick.  Class-1 police is obviously a very high level indeed.”

Gary Thew – Easterly, Hampshire – TVR Tuscan (Full-Day)

“Very enjoyable day.  I learnt a lot and will enjoy practising the techniques shown.  I will definitely recommend your services to friends and I will be booking another session in the future once I have gained more experience with the car.”

Andrew Carver – Cheshire – TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“Friendly, fun, informative and confidence inspiring!  What’s next?”

Ilika Shelly - Buckinghamshire - TVR Chimaera (2x Half-Day)

"Cliff is a Very positive member of your team giving confidence - which helps to improve. Clever sections of the day broken down to go through various skills made the session diverse and with a helpful agenda. The delivery was very clear and precise with a good dose of humour - which made the whole experience enjoyable. More of a session than a lesson."

Chris Gage - Nottingham - Fiat Coupe Turbo (Full-Day)

"Hugely enjoyable - it's good to be pushed outside your comfort zone under expert guidance and on normal roads - not a race track! The best driving enjoyment I have had in 20 years!"

Russell Hall - Hertfordshire - TVR Tuscan (Full-Day)

"Alan was excellent and a very cool guy being very laid back and in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident - right from the off. I was amazed at his knowledge of TVR's and other high-performance cars. The afternoon part of the day gave me a complete buzz - but I felt quite safe using the techniques learned from the morning session. All in all - an excellent day."

Shawn Ashton - Essex - TVR Griffith (Full-Day)

"Uneasy with speed at first, but became more comfortable as more of the theory was borne out by the behaviour of the car. The session had me driving faster than I would normally on such roads, and as such, most of the day was an adrenaline event. The biggest use, for me personally, was that I learnt that the limits of the car exceeded mine!!"

Mark Samuels – Sussex, MG TF (Full-Day)

"Tim did a marvellous job and it was great to go out with a Police Class One driver. Based on this experience I would highly recommend Ride Drive to all."

John Prior - Buckinghamshire - Porsche Boxter (2x Half Day)

"This experience has improved my enjoyment of driving on the roads immensely. I feel that I am a safer driver now. The satisfaction of driving swiftly, smoothly, but safely make this so worthwhile. I am sure that I will benefit from this course for years to come and should be compulsory for all drivers of performance cars."

Lucy Bolton - Surrey - TVR Tuscan (2x Half-Day)

"The time just flew. Just what I needed. Extremely well thought out practical and simple advice. Steve was excellent. He was calm and explained everything well. I learned a huge amount in a relatively short time and will definitely do it again in 12-months."

Raja Raja-Ryan - West Sussex - TVR Chimaera (2x Half-Day)

“Great fun and excellent guidance.”

Phil Robins - Maidenhead - BMW M3 (Full-Day)

“A most enjoyable and worthwhile day.  I shall remember the overtake on the horsebox lorry and people carrier for many a year. Brilliant!! Every driver should spend at least half a day per year at this.”

Hugh Williamson - Surrey - TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“A superb day during which I learnt loads in a very enjoyable, relaxed but demanding atmosphere.”

Roger Shepherd, High Wycombe BMW M3 (Full-Day)

“Having had higher than average performance cars for the last 10yrs, and regularly drive over 15,000 miles per year, I was amazed to find out just how much I can benefit from these sessions.”

William Symington - Twickenham, London -  Alfa Romeo 166 (Full-Day)

Clive Leach - Sale, Cheshire - TVR Tuscan S (2x Half-Day)

Neville Wilkinson - Hertfordshire - TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

"I don't think I have ever concentrated so hard!  A long day but very worthwhile.”

Luke Farnon - Dorchester, Dorset - TVR Cerbera Speed-Six (2x Half-Day)

“It was good to know that my driving wasn't as bad as I thought.”

Owen Cook - Cardiff - Mitsubishi Evo 7 (Full-Day) (Repeat Visit)

“Professionally structured from enquiry through to delivery.  Neither over pally nor stiff.  Attentive to individual requirements. Reassuringly non boy racer.  Highly invigorating and left wanting for more!  Thank you.”

Diggory Laycock - South West London - TVR Cerbera Speed-Six (Full-Day)

“I would highly recommend this to anyone.”

Declan Ryan - Hertfordshire - TVR Cerbera (Full-Day)

“I have recommended this to friends and family, and for the first time my mother feels safe driving with me and actually enjoyed it!”

Tony Hitti - Wokingham, Berks - TVR Griffith (Full-Day)

“I had a thoroughly enjoyable day, as I would do driving a TVR for six-hours, but this was enhanced by having the benefit of a real expert on hand to guide me.”

Keith Langton - Chingford, N. London - TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“The session did not feel at any time like a driving lesson.  I would like to have a further session.”

“The time spent with Ride Drive was a thoroughly rewarding experience. I will certainly follow this session with one of the more advanced ones.  All drivers should undertake this quality course.”

Mark Kelly - London, - TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“Really enjoyable and very useful to me.  I did this as it was a requirement of Mannings (Insurance), but would have liked to have done it anyway.”

Robert Kolaczynski - London - TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“This was a fulfilling honest assessment and the information fed to me to begin to ‘alter’ 20-years of driving was delivered in such a way so as it sank in very quickly.  Ultimately it makes you want to be a more capable road user.”

Duncan Ilsley - Chelsea - TVR Chimaera (Full-Day)

“An excellent day, which I would strongly recommend to any driver, regardless of how good they think they are.  Well done!”

Adrian Lomas - Cheshire - TVR Cerbera (Full-Day)

“I went into the session thinking that my driving style would be taken apart, when in fact it wasn’t.  It was enhanced and modified with new skills to help me drive safer and quicker (where appropriate).”

Steve Mincher - Staffordshire - TVR Griffith (Full-Day)

“Rather than try and teach me how to drive all over again the experience I already had was used and the techniques for faster and safer driving were then added.  I have been given the confidence in myself and the car to really enjoy driving it.  Now I’m really glad I bought the TVR!”

Ellen Buchanan - Bedfordshire - TVR S3 (Full-Day)
