Chris Gear - Epsom, Surrey - Nissan Skyline
"Outstanding. Whilst the concept and content of the course is very well thought out I suspect what really makes it on the day is the quality of the driving coach. In my case, Steve was excellent. Probably the most effective coach I have met in my in my areas of business and sport. He had detailed knowledge of the subject, communicated it clearly, reinforced my good points and dealt with mistakes without making me feel like an idiot (by turning the problem around demonstrating confidence in me). He listened to me and finally showed great flexibility when one part of the course was not for me. On top of that he comes across as a decent bloke too."
Andrew Montgomery Flockton, West Yorkshire Ferrari 360
"I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Glenn, and got a lot out of it both on and off road. I would happily recommend."
Philip Clark Fleet, Hampshire TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"It was all useful, but especially hazard perception, bend lines and overtaking. The roads were a bit busy, but I accept it is hard to do anything about this one. The instructor wasnt aware Id booked a report and Adrian Flux certificate. Overall, the course will help me get the best out of my TVR and do so safely. It is the first formal driver training I have had since passing my test and covered things that are never taught. The coach was excellent, non-judgemental and introduced things at a good pace throughout the day."
Stephen Peacock Stainland, West Yorkshire Honda S2000
"Karl was a very pleasant and accommodating instructor. The flexibility he applied in evaluating my driving style and the subsequent refinement made have made me come away feeling much more confident behind the wheel. He achieved exactly what he claimed he would at the brief."
Alasdair Dando Lowston, Bedfordshire Noble M12
"The session was well structured with the right balance of theory and practice. Ian was a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful coach. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute!"
Lachlan Towart – London –TVR Tuscan (repeat visit) (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Fantastic fun. Even better second time out and still a great learning experience. Highly recommended."
Brian Dykes – Amersham, Buckinghamshire – Hyundai Coupe
"Well it opened my eyes on the ability of my car to stay on the road under extreme pressure and by driving with power. Now the car is easier to control, but there were times when my heart was in my mouth. So, thanks to Ken, aged me 10-years Ha ha. I’ve got more pointers to go on before I take another day out. Cheers."
Guy Hopkins – Winchester – Audi RS4
"I think the session was well structured and executed, and Alan was an excellent instructor. I do not think it could have been improved in any way. Overall the day was very enjoyable and I feel I have picked up many useful tips to improve my driving ability. Alan’s delivery of advice and instructions was done in a non-patronising way and with humour, which helped to relax me as a driver and get the most out of the session. I would recommend this course to other people, and again I felt Alan was an excellent instructor."
Matt Smith – Tyne and Wear – Mercedes SL500
"Very enjoyable. I felt reassured that I am a “good” driver. I would like to take another advanced driving course in the future."
Iestyn Roberts – London – Jaguar XKR (repeat visit)
"Great fun. Enabled me to drive faster and safer."
Mike Wheeler – Oxshott, Surrey – Porsche Cayenne
"This was an excellent session. Steve is a very capable driver and communicator in a manner that is very effective. He has a pleasant ability to coach in a manner that provides constructive criticism without every arousing a hostile or defensive response."
Chris Economides – Romford, Essex - TVR T350 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Enjoyable, Fun, vital learning skills, safety awareness and presentation skills by Chris. Superb."
John Clark – Leigh-on-Sea, Essex – Honda S2000 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"John was very observant and continually was aware of everything I did. He demonstrated how to do a running commentary and made me realise how much I did not see. I found him a good teacher and would recommend him."
Tom Perry – Northampton – Porsche 911 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Gave me a lot to think about and could see a big difference in my driving by the end of the day in smoothness, steering and awareness. Andy was an excellent instructor."
Ian Wiebkin – Bexleyheath. Kent – TVR Griffith
“Chris was great. I never felt belittled, but always encouraged and praised. I was apprehensive about the day, but had no cause to be. After the airfield session my driving really began to flow. I now feel I am controlling my Griffith rather than it controlling me. A fantastic day and I will be booking a skid session soon. I will also recommend to all my friends in the TVR car club."
Lindsay McKenzie – Harrogate, North Yorkshire - Porsche 911 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"David was excellent and very patient. He put me at ease and explained all subjects very simply. Thank you – fantastic!"
Julie White – Garston, Hertfordshire - TVR Cerbera
"I had already done a Ride Drive session before (half-day). There is nothing that would improve this. Great instructor, great car, great time, what fun!!!”
Ian Main – Kettering, Northamptonshire - Mazda RX-8
“I thoroughly enjoyed the two half-days. I was exposed to new techniques, which I’ll try to incorporate in my routine driving. I think it stretched my capabilities (or more probably my confidence) to the limit (that I was prepared to go). I found it exhausting, but 100% worthwhile.”
Gordon Strachan – London - TVR Tuscan (Adrian Flux Scheme)
“The airfield was a huge confidence booster, discovering some of the car’s capabilities – grip and stability at high speeds. But safety aspects of the road driving are equally invaluable. Overall, brilliant and invaluable insurance cover for a car… I’ll love my Tuscan S even more.”
Raja Raja-Rayan – Horesham, Sussex - TVR T350 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"The road driving was very useful. Very enjoyable. Martyn is well versed as an instructor”
Gary Manning – Southampton - Holden HSV (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"On the airfield the session highlighted the excellent handling and braking capabilities of my vehicle. My own confidence in my vehicle has heightened considerably and also my personal driving confidence has been enhanced.”
The experience was very enjoyable allowing me to revive my somewhat rusty roadcraft! I was encouraged by Alan’s comments on my driving quality as it is sometimes too easy to be self-critical. I think I shall re-take the RoSPA advanced test in the near future after a lapse of 7-years, as my confidence has been given a boost. Also I think a further session would be bring me on leaps and bounds. My coach was very informative and personable, and a pleasure to be with. A great day!”
Tracey Thompson – Milton Keynes - Lotus Elise
"It was useful chucking the car around the airfield in the rain was useful. Overall this was excellent and absolutely invaluable with regards to my confidence in my own abilities, and in learning how hard it is to make an Elise skid.”
Tom Fyfe – SW London - TVR Cerbera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
“Educational and enjoyable”
Barry Duncan - Buckinghamshire - TVR Tuscan
“Making progress through defensive driving, reading the roads and losing the ‘fear’ of losing control by making a 360 donut in an airfield. The experience was fantastic as it taught me how to manage the skidding of my car instead of my pants!
Jim Gorton – Manchester - Masarati 4200 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
“Fantastic. Improved my driving skills and my understanding of my car and its potential”
John Atkin - Kings Lynn - TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Whilst at the airfield I was able to dispel the myths of TVR’s spinning out in the wet, unless provoked by excessive driver error. The day did not feel like I had been for a driving lesson. It felt more like I had been out for a drive in the countryside whilst being made aware of roadcraft. I definitely felt my driving was much smoother at the end of the day. Thanks.”
Hillary Appicella – Gt. Missenden, Buckinghamshire - Honda S2000
"Absolutely brilliant. This was my second session with Ken and I felt that I had improved and was better able to enjoy the airfield. He’s a great teacher, always explains why something should be done that way and is always calm and patient. I really feel that my driving has improved.”
Kiernan Bird – Farnborough, Hampshire - TVR Cerbera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Wow, what a day! The session on the test track that showed me the limits of my car, which subsequently boosted my confidence for the rest of the day. It has made me realise what my car is truly capable of and the fact that I have only been using it to a quarter of its true limits. The course has boosted my confidence levels and increased my forward vision and overtaking skills greatly. I can now say I am on the right track to taming the beast – namely the Cerbera.”
Cath Preston – Sheffield - Mazda RX-8
"Use of limit point analysis has improved my cornering, and observation techniques were most useful. A good days drive, which has improved my day to day driving."
Carole Child – Northampton - Honda S2000
"Daemon was a fantastic trainer. He was honest and his (critique) and support in my development. Kept me working at the edge to push forward. His advice made a noticeable difference to my driving and I came away from the session exhausted but confident. I was in control of my vehicle and will carry it on in my driving.”
Fiona Slater – Newcastle Upon Tyne - TVR Cerbera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"I really can’t think of anything to improve this. The Elvington hour in torrential rain was superb and a real eye-opener. Tony was absolutely excellent and a pleasure to spent 8-hours in the car with. Spot on!”
Mark Robinson – Birmingham - TVR Tuscan (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"I found the course to be very informative and quite an eye-opener. My normal driving style had become very sloppy compared to this system so it was good to be put back on track in the correct manner. Roly is an excellent instructor.”
Phil Viner – Stratford Upon Avon - Saab 93
"I had a great day. Fun and educational at the same time. Hopefully I can go on and continue to improve my driving.”
John Murray – West Wickham, Kent – TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
“I had a fantastic day with Adrian. I learned new things and extended my existing knowledge, all of which I hope will make me a safer driver when at speed. I am would definitely recommend this day to others.”
Gregory Knaggs – Leeds - Vauxhall VS220 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Excellent, before the day I was daunted at the prospect of doing a full day, but it was so enjoyable and useful. Many thanks to Stuart for making it the informative and fun day it was.”
Klaas Bakker – Wooburn Green, Buckinghamshire – TVR Chimaera
"Great day. Good experience. Know much better what you can and cannot do with a TVR. Good instructor."
Matthew Jones – East London – Porsche 911
"An excellent and enjoyable day. Useful techniques learned and interesting tips given.”
David Revill – Compton, Berkshire - TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Very enjoyable, nice people and helpful in keeping me safe on the road!"
Jane Payne – Macclesfield – TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Useful – Driving on winding B-roads smoothly and without the need to brake. Also, at airfield learning that my Chimaera wouldn’t misbehave if I cornered properly and smoothly. I was very nervous at first, but Nigel put me at ease, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. In fact I am considering taking part in a car club organised track day soon to get more tuition and will probably do more advanced driving in the very near future.”
Paul Holowczycki – West Malling, Kent - TVR Tuscan (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"Adrian gave excellent help and advice on many elements. He encouraged me to develop and push my confidence to a level I felt almost one with the car. At the end I felt I was not just driving the car, but it was an extension of myself.”
Simon Davies – SW London - Aston Martin DB9
"Very much enjoyed the course”
David Monksfield – Stansted, Essex – Golf GTI (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"A very useful and enjoyable day. Good value for money. Thanks!”
Pete Dunkley – Cheadle, Cheshire – TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"A Fantastic day! I feel much more at one with my TVR – thanks.”
Ian Mansfield – Salisbury, Wiltshire – TVR Chimaera
"Instructive and fun.”
Patrick Miles - Bristol - TVR T350
"Busy but very good day. David is an easy guy to understand. Whole new style of driving, now need to practise.”
Mark Holding – Feltham, Middlesex – TVR Chimaera
"A very enjoyable day.”
Sam Shah – Middlesex – Ford Focus RS (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"A fantastic day overall in which I learnt a lot about the characteristics and limitations of my car. The course was delivered in a relaxed, informal yet very informative manner. I feel as though my driving skills will definitely improve and I continue to apply many of the techniques demonstrated.”
Julia Wilson – Leeds – Porsche Boxter (Adrian Flux Scheme)
“Excellent day – I feel that I have learnt an enormous amount and have many points to work on that will greatly improve my overall enjoyment of the car.”
Anthony Murray – Benson, Oxfordshire – Mazda RX-8 (Adrian Flux Scheme)
“The course was exactly what I was looking for and Gary presented it in an open and non-instructional (more advisory approach) making it quite clear from the start which areas of traditional driving were important and which could be flexed gain advantage. I would definitely look at continued progression with a check/refresher in six months/12-months time.”
Warren Longshaw – Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire – TVR Chimaera (Adrian Flux Scheme)
"It was fantastic. Jamie was the perfect ambassador for the company and I would have no hesitation in recommending the company to anyone vaguely interested in the experience, and indeed I already have.
From the client prospective, the whole experience was well organised before the date, so my thanks you yourself, with all correspondence being dealt with in a quick and professional manner. To the day where my experience was well planned and very well executed, I simply cannot fault it.
The only minor niggle was regarding the booking of a date that fitted with the airfield. Having spoken to Jamie on the phone, and setting a date, we had to change dates due to overbooking for the airfield. Though I understand that this may have been difficult to resolve, the manner in which the problem was over-come was again dealt with with the utmost professionalism.
Once again, my greatest thanks to you, any administrative team, and of course to Jamie."
Ian McKenzie- Guildford-Surrey – TVR Cerbera
"I had always known that my car was capable, but I’d never known how far from the performance envelope I was until I did my Ride Drive day! Balancing the car on its throttle around the airfield was such a thrill! Thank you."
Clive Ford – Isle of Wight – TVR Griffith
"Although the airfield section is the most exciting, although all elements of the session were very useful, as on the way to the airfield, when the instructor can assess your own ability and faults etc. The airfield is fantastic, as you really experience the ability of the car and how to control it, and on the spirited return, everything that you have learned is put into practise. Knowing your car better increases your confidence, and I am now driving faster, but feeling A LOT safer and in control.
A thoroughly enjoyable day. My instructor, Alan, was first class. I really feel that I have learnt so much, and after only owning my Griffith 5-litre for one week before the course, I feel at one with it already.
It was a small amount to pay compared to the cost of purchasing the car, but the benefits of the course are tremendous. I can now drive with confidence and really enjoy my first TVR."
Ralph Littlefair – Perth, Scotland – BMW 735
"Good comments, trying to help an older driver set in his ways."
David Muttram – Gloucester – Honda S2000
"An excellent day as I am taking my RoSPA advanced driving text soon. This helped a lot (this was a bonus to the purpose of the course). My S2000 is only 4-months old and the day helped me get to know the car, its limits and my limits. A great day and lots of fun. Very good trainer. The session at the airfield was very good, as I could make mistakes and learn from them in an open and safe area."
Robin Pain – Laindon, Essex – TVR Chimaera
"The session was very worthwhile, as it exposes you to methods of driving which you may not have considered. It teaches you to observe the road conditions more closely enabling you to drive in more flowing fashion. The instructor was very knowledgeable and soon put me at ease."
Lachlan Towert – London – TVR Tuscan S
"Assessment and positioning for bends has greatly improved my confidence in the car’s ability to corner at higher speeds than I had used before. Also how and when to overtake more safely. A great day out. Improved my confidence in the car and my ability to drive it enormously. Jamie managed to teach me loads of techniques without coming across as teaching at all. I could feel my confidence in my driving was better, but didn’t realise just how much I had learnt until the drive home on my own. Most of all, great fun. Will definitely be recommending to friends and doing this again myself next year."
Steve Brinkley – Lingfield, Surrey – TVR Griffith
"The whole day was very useful, and the session at Longcross was the most demanding, exciting and scary. I really didn’t know what to expect from the day, I just knew that insurance companies and TVR club endorsed your courses.
As a first time owner of a high performance car, any help to improve my driving was going to be useful. John’s manner and approach at the beginning of the course set just the right tone for the day. I found that I was able to concentrate without being intimidated. All through the day the day the help, advice and instruction given added new dimensions to driving. I was particularly pleased that John is a serving traffic policeman, which added great weight to the advice. I forgot to mention that I enjoyed every moment."
Tim Southworth – London – Honda S2000
"A tough, but very beneficial day."
Keith Baker – Saffron Walden – BMW M5
"Professional, educational, exhilarating and tiring."
Phillip Courtenay-Luck – Nottingham – Jaguar XK8
"My tutor, Simon, had an excellent, professional, but calm, steady, pleasant style and seemed to get some enjoyment out of assisting me. This approach insured that I got the best out of the day and will be the benefactor of an improved driving style in the future."
Bob Keatinge – Gloucester – TVR T350C
"Very useful in getting to know the car better. Very social experience."
Adrian Rogers – Aspley, Hertfordshire – TVR Tuscan
"Very positive instructor, loads of excellent advice, much more confidence in the cars handling, loads in more confidence in my driving ability, thoroughly enjoyable experience, giving me loads more fun driving my Tuscan."
Sandra Trigg – Sheffield – TVR Tuscan
"Colin made me feel comfortable during the session. He urged me to improve my performance by encouraging me throughout the session. Although Colin obviously had much knowledge and skill he was patient and never patronising. I had a thoroughly enjoyable day in the Tuscan. I know the Tuscan is very powerful, but I now keep confident to drive it utilising the power safely."
Mark Langley - Seven Oaks, Kent - TVR Chimaera
"Fantastic day with a very experienced driver who communicates very well."
Ian Willats – Warwick – Masarati 3200GT
"An excellent day all round, and one which will have me thinking more carefully about my driving for a long time to come. Bob was an extremely capable teacher, providing constructive criticism, encouragement, and new techniques in a well-balanced and friendly way. I am sure I will be a safer driver for having spent just this short time with the benefit of his experience and look forward very much to a further session soon. Many thanks."
Carol Dawkins – Gosport, Hampshire – Honda S2000
"I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the session. Alan was great throughout, even when I took the wrong exit from a roundabout".
Carl Hussey – Christchurch, Dorset – Honda S2000
"I found Kevin extremely knowledgeable and an excellent instructor. I felt I learned a lot on the day both about my car and about my driving."
Tony Nesbitt – Harrogate, North Yorkshire – Vauxhall VX220
"Lots to pack in to one day, a lot to take in, but very enjoyable nonetheless."
Nick Spray – Coggeshall, Essex – TVR T350C
"A great education in driving."
Ben Pollard – London – TVR Chimaera
"Excellent session – confidence building and fun. I nearly didn’t book the session as I felt it was likely to be patronising (in fact, not the case at all)."
Dave Fountain – Petersfield, Sussex – Lotus Elise
"The personal benefit I gained from the day was limited because my instructor found little to comment upon. This is probably because I have tried to continually improve my driving skills over the last 40-years and so have taken various defensive driving, skidpan, track courses etc. as well as the IAM test. It was nevertheless an enjoyable day. I particularly enjoyed the off road driving because it allowed me to test my abilities (and the handling characteristics of my car) in a low-risk environment."
Adrian Rogers – Aspley, Hertfordshire – TVR Tuscan
"Before the session I was apprehensive, as I had tried the system of car control for myself from the info read in TVR Sprint magazine. I explained this to Simon at the start and asked for lots of his help in the session. Simon’s response put me at ease from the start, gave good advice for improving my driving gained my trust and built my confidence. He had me driving with total focus and commitment, so I thoroughly enjoyed it and already feel a better and a safer driver. Much to practise and can’t wait. Thanks Simon."
Graham Evans – Bristol – TVR Chimaera
"Overall an excellent day out with a friendly and knowledgeable instructor. Much learned and taken on board. Still practising and talking about it."
Paul Wyatt – Penkridge, Staffordshire – BMW M3
"Excellent tuition both on the road and on the airfield, and great fun. A very, very useful and enjoyable day. The instructor was excellent."
Michelle Griffiths – Canerbury, Kent – TVR Tuscan
"This is definitely money well spent. It has given me a lot more confidence on the road, and I really enjoy going out and putting into practise what I have learned. The day was made even more enjoyable by Adrian being such a great instructor – he really put me at ease and was easy to get along with – please pass on my thanks to him."
Can Huseyin – Epsom, Surrey – Porsche 911
"Enjoyable and informative."
James Davies – London – TVR T350C
"A fantastic day – enjoyable, yet informative and ultimately has meant that I can enjoy my car’s full potential more safely."
Neil Collier – Aldershot – TVR Tuscan
"It was a long day filled with some thrilling moments and needed constant attention and awareness throughout, which by the end of the day left me exhausted, but full of confidence. One of the most amazing days of my life, and would recommend it to anyone."
Mick Gallagher – Nottingham – TVR Chimaera
"Colin was brilliant. As a result of his expert instruction my driving had improved and I am more confident. I had a fantastic day. Colin obviously knows what he is talking about. He passed his knowledge on to me in a very easy manner. I am more aware of other road users, my control is better, my driving is a lot smoother and I have already recommended you to my friends. Brilliant!"
Ian Worthington – Manchester – TVR T350C
"It’s a very informative and enjoyable day. I have a greater understanding of the car and practical driving skills."
Andrew Lyons – Sevenoaks, Kent – Jaguar XK8
"A very relaxed and informative session. Some of the advice was a revelation (e.g. use of indicators was not advised in many situations). The practical driving skills brush up was invaluable."
Dean Fern – Burton-on-Trent – BMW M3
"Very informative, and felt like I had learned some very useful and practical techniques."
Richard Mason – Fleet, Hampshire – TVR Chimaera
"The course has changed my whole approach to driving. Steve was an excellent tutor laying the foundations early on with both theory and practical. Slowly building in extra elements to enhance skills learnt throughout the day. The course has given me confidence and my ability and the capabilities (and limitations of the car). I cannot praise Steve or the course enough. A fantastic learning experience and very enjoyable. Thank you."
Ian Woodcock – Kent – TVR
"Really educational advice on both driving and road awareness."
Steve Luck – Ampthill, Bedfordshire – TVR Cerbera
"Put it this way, here is the text I sent to Iain afterwards. “Hi Iain, just wanted 2 say thanks 4 a great day out !! Just been watching the vid on big screen quality. TVR all clean and put 2 bed.” I think that sums it up."
James Stinchcombe – Wokingham, Berkshire – Jaguar XK8
"An excellent day. I have learnt so much about car control and how to get more fun out of driving. I recommend this course without hesitation."
Steve Briggs – Tamworth, Staffordshire – Toyota MR2
"Very good, very patient, very constructive. Have already recommended."
Paul Rowlands – Cirencester, Gloucestershire – Honda S2000
"An invaluable day spent tapping the knowledge of a skilled ex-police driving instructor. Keith was able to assess my bad habits, picked up over the last 15-years, and offer alternatives. This was never patronising, but by questioning why you were doing something at a particular point, you could better understand why it may not have been the correct thing to be doing in that situation. The airfield was of most use. It was important for me to feel what the car was/was not capable of without endangering other road users."
Kulpna Pascoe – Cookham, Berkshire – VW Golf GTI
"It was a really confidence boosting experience. Steve was really good, very patient, and I hope I can continue to drive well without Steve in the car."
Andy O’Malley – Bromsgrove, Worcestershire – TVR Tuscan
"Even though, as a novice, I wasn’t comfortable pushing myself or the car more, I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Bob was excellent."
Tony Hipkins – Nottingham – Porsche Boxter
"I learned a lot about myself and the car. The system of trying to read the road ahead was also quite thought provoking. It was the most valuable 7-hours I have ever spent in a car. One of the reasons was that I spent much time reading on your website, which gave me much food for thought. I think this sort of training should be better publicised."
Daniel Levy – London – Nissan 350Z
"A very fun and informative day. I learned a lot about my new car and feel more confident driving it. Thanks! Mike was great, very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable."
Nikki Marchant – Basingstoke – TVR Chimaera
"Nice to see what the car can do when provoked, but the useful bit was really how to get a smooth, safe drive within my and its ability on the public road. Awesome fun!"
Tom Ellis – Hudderfield – TVR Chimaera
"Intuitive, informal and relaxed fun that was confidence building. The day has given me the confidence that I know better the limitations of the car, and more importantly, my limitations. I feel that I will now get more enjoyment out of my car and hope that for the benefit of other road users I will be able to act accordingly when the unexpected happens."
Paul Newman – Sevenoaks, Kent – Bentley Continental
"I found testing the car to the limits, using the whole of the road and overtaking methods useful. Adrian was a good tutor. It was good session, great fun driving hard, and learning of the car’s potential. I learned a whole new overtaking technique."
David Scott – Battle, Sussex – TVR Chimaera
"An informative and fun day that is highly recommended and should be taken by everyone with a performance car."
Joanne Sulway – Roughlee, Lancashire – BMW 6-Series
"Bernard was fantastic – he made me feel at ease whilst learning and checking my understanding. We even laughed a lot. I enjoyed the whole experience and am already recommending it."
Martyn Dodgson – London – TVR Sagaris
"Jamie was an excellent tutor and I learnt a lot. He gets ten out of ten. I should do this session again in 12-months with the same tutor. All TVR drivers should do this as a mandatory session! Overall I had an excellent and enjoyable day, and I will be recommending it to others."
Dale Giles – Tadcaster, North Yorkshire – TVR Chimaera
"In brief the best day out I have had in the TVR in years."
Chris Harrod – Beccles, Suffolk, TVR T350C
"The trainer was excellent and made the whole experience very enjoyable."
Richard Davis – Dartford, Kent – TVR Wedge
"Absolutely fantastic!"
Sue Iddenden – Cheam, Surrey – Mazda MX-5
"Very enjoyable day – tiring but exhilarating!! Nice bloke who went out of his way to put me at ease."
Michaele Apostolides – London – TVR T350C
"Excellent day. Should be included with every new TVR purchased."
David Mason – Hayes, Middlesex – TVR Chimaera
“The first time in 20-years of driving that I have really thought about the way I drive. Many techniques to go away and practise. Coming from the smoke I never had a lesson on the kind of B-roads the car was made for. Jamie was a real pro, and good company. He pitched everything at the right level and didn’t make me feel uncomfortable once. The day wasn’t cheap, but gives good value for money. I don’t in anyway feel I have misspent one penny of my hard earned cash.”
Steve Goodyear – Chippenham, Wiltshire – Honda Integra
“A very valuable course for the above average speed car user. It opened my eyes to a lot of very useful techniques! IT gave me the tools to be in control of my car rather than it be in control of me!”
Ben Gillespie – Carfiff, South Wales – Honda S2000
“Worthwhile and will probably get me into going for my advanced motoring test.”
Marc Hemingway – Litchfield, Staffordshire – TVR Sagaris
“A thoroughly enjoyable day! Although I drive 30k + miles per year, and own/have owned some very quick cars, there is always room for improvement and the tips and pointers given by Steve were definitely of use.”
Daniel Grosvenor – Ascot, Berkshire – TVR Tuscan
“An excellent day, where I both had fun and learned a lot!”
Ken Dennington Holdrick – Oxford – TVR Cerbera
“It is difficult to quantify how much more I now enjoy driving, regardless of what car I am in, and more than anything else, how much more I am now getting out of the Cerbera.”
Andrew Newnham – Isle of Wight – TVR S2
“ A great day all round, my poor driving points were pointed out honestly and corrected, my driving has definitely improved through excellent instruction made even better by understanding what myself and my car are capable of, as well as knowing the limits. Thank you.”
Nick Sice – Isle of Wight – TVR Chimaera
“An excellent day. I was given some clear and practical guidelines and instruction to get the best from my car.”
Craig Lovelace – SW london – TVR Tuscan
“The course has certainly left me with an enhanced level of confidence in my car, has taught me a wealth of new skills and experiences, and has made me want to get out there with the Tuscan even more than normal.”
Tim Stokes – Watford, Hertfordshire – Honda S2000
“Very interesting and hopefully very useful with very clear instruction and explanation. £285 + VAT is value for money. Very good fun!”
Keith Norrie – Emsworth, Hampshire – TVR Chimaera
“For those people new to TVR’s don’t even think about buying shiny accessories, or making modifications to your car before putting yourself through a Ride Drive course. It’s a great day, you’ll learn a great deal, and you’ll be a far smoother and safer driver as well. For those that have already done a Ride Drive course, DO IT AGAIN!!
Best use of £300 I’ve made in a long time.”
Helen Cox – London – Porsche Boxter
“A great was to test the ability of both yourself and your car in a safe and stimulating manner.”
Louise Ramsden – Brentwood, Essex – Honda S2000
“Fantastic. Exactly what I needed to build my own confidence and the confidence I have in my car’s abilty. Justin was very professional, clear in his instructions and a brilliant tutor. I now look forward to practising what I have learnt. I will be encouraging my friends to book in for a session with Ride Drive.”
Jeff Mitchell – Linslade, Bedfordshire – Subaru Impreza
“Fantastic day. Iain was very professional and enabled me to try out new techniques throughout the day.”
Jon Skinner – Broxbourne, Herfordshire – TVR Chimaera
“Enjoyable, informative, challenging, positive and highly recommended.”
Ben Kennedy – Crewe, Cheshire – Subaru Impreza
“I now have better awareness and driving confidence.”
Tim Sindall – East Horesley, Surrey – Audi TT
“I learnt how to use more of my car’s potential whilst improving the safety margins that are essential when driving in traffic. If I remember to apply all that I was given then driving the Audi should be far more satisfying than before. I don’t mean this as a boy racer, but as a driver who enjoys the simple thrills of being in charge of a highly responsive road vehicle.”
Moira Clark – Offham, Kent – Mercedes 330SLK
“Wonderful – Adrian was lovely, friendly and enthusiastic. I got a LOT out of the day and will definitely recommend to friends. I slept well afterwards though!”
Colin Turner – Coolham, Sussex – Honda S2000
“An excellent confidence building session, both mechanically and emotionally. The website also contains excellent driving information.”
James Clark – Offham, Kent – Mercedes SLK Kompressor
“Excellent technical advice. Would recommend for sporty cars.”
Anita Gregory – Felixstowe, Suffolk – TVR Chimaera
“I begun the day feeling quite nervous as I was very much in awe of the car. I still treat it with respect, but the difference is now that I feel as though I own it. Driving the car now seems much more natural and the skills I have been given on the day have made so much difference.”
John Blitz – Blandford Forum, Dorset – Lotus Excel
“Excellent value for money. 7-Hours of driving and I didn’t feel drained until after it was over.”
David Poynton – Cattal, Yorkshire – Jaguar XK8

Angus Hudson – London – Audi S2
“Very useful day that highlighted many bad habits learnt over 20-years of driving. I learnt how to drive in a more efficient, safe and smoother way and have come away a better driver.”

Roy Schofield, Harrogate, Yorks – TVR Chimaera

Rob Crompton, Reading, Berks – TVR Chimaera
“An exhilarating day. I felt challenged but completely safe and confident to explore the capabilities of the car under safe conditions.
James Allsop, Tring, Herts – BMW Z4
“Having been slightly nervous I soon realised I wasn’t being judged. I felt I took on board virtually all advice and felt that throughout the day my application of that advice improved. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with Pete and the experience, thank you.”
Rick Hewland, Clapham, London – TVR Tuscan
“Excellent experience, which I am sure will improve my enjoyment and safety levels.”
Eddie Barrow, Warrington – TVR Griffith

Stephane Bouvier, Watford – Audi S4

Mike Forbes, SW London – TVR Chimaera
“An incredibly useful and informative day, the benefits of which will stay with me for the rest of my driving life.”
Mike Gambles, Tunbridge Wells, Kent – TVR Chimaera

Colin Elliott, Carlton, Notts – TVR Chimaera
“Thoroughly enjoyable and positive day.”
Miranda Davy, London – BMW 330i
“Great day out. Enjoyable and learned a lot. Was pushed far enough, but not too far.”

“A tiring but very informative day.”

Richard Moore, London – BMW Z3 M-series
“Awesome experience. Awesome instructor”
Simon Davey – Norton, Worcestershire – Honda Civic Type R
“I was amazed by how much in 1-day my driving was transformed. By paying attention and listening to what was easily understood great improvements were easily made. I would certainly recommend this to others, particularly those who think they are already good drivers.”
David Rogers – Westfield Sussex – TVR Cerbera
“Thoroughly enjoyable. “Buzzing.” Just the beginning, i.e. lot’s to work on.”
David Elliott – Stockport, Cheshire – VW Golf Gti
“I really enjoyed the day overall and felt I gained an awful lot from my experience.”
Chris Holmes – Putney, London – BMW Z3
“The day was very well organised, and john was a frank and honest instructor, but never in a patronising way. The airfield element for me was important to learn of the limit of my car’s handling capabilities in a safe environment. The rest of the day was very enjoyable with a good mixture of roads to drive upon. John very quickly assessed which areas could be improved upon and was active in giving encouragement as well as praise. All in all an excellent day and I have already recommended this to the Z3M Coupe website forum.”
Chris Thomas – Leamington Spa – TVR Wedge
“This is the first rear wheel drive car that I have owned and the day has given me so much more confidence in the handling abilities of the car. Having been on a similar course (Honda MAC in a Civic Type R) I found this course more useful as the characteristics of the car are much less forgiving to driver error.
The airfield part of the day has shown me how much potential the car has and allowed me to experience its limits more safely. I could not be happier with the course and instructor. Excellent, thank you.
Chris Rowley – Balham, London – TVR T350c
“It was a good experience that I believe will become more and more useful as I practice. However, I was disappointed that the track session only included the skidpan and some acceleration work.”
Darren Rhodes – Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey – TVR T350c
“Excellent. The airfield really instructs on all the concepts, such as lift-off over steer and power on oversteer.”
Adrian Sweet, Frome, Somerset – TVR Chimaera
“Very good, glad I took the course. The day was enjoyable and I came away with lots of tips on how to improve my driving style. The assessment report is detailed and reminded me of what was said on the day. Will do another course in the summer.
Nick Davis, Wetherby, Yorkshire – TVR Tuscan
“Very enjoyable and I learned a lot, especially on the roads.”
Roy Goodger, Bracknell, Berkshire – TVR Griffith
“WHY IS THIS COURSE NOT COMPULSORY IN LAW?”
Michelle Workman, Norwich – Mazda MX-5
“Brilliant!”
Tony Warren, West Kirby, Wirral – Audi A4 Quattro
“An enjoyable and a very informative day. Mike was an engaging and affable instructor, passing on the information well. Perhaps some areas could be reinforced with diagrams or theory work, but I understand that you are conscious to avoid school teaching.”
Richard Moore - Clapham, London – BMW Z3 M-Series
"An awesome experience and an awesome instructor!"
Kamil Erkadoo – Fleet, Hampshire – TVR Chimaera
"Having been banned from driving for speeding I knew my time could have been up when purchasing my dream car, a TVR. Would I break the speed limit or break my neck losing control I thought? I contacted Ride Drive, and in a day I was taught how to drive safely, efficiently and still enjoy the ride.
I have had the car for some 5-years now and I am always grateful for the guidance and experience attained from Ride Drive back in 2001. Once again a big thank you."
Paul Shanks – Skipton, Yorkshire – TVR Cerbera
“Overall a very useful day.”
Philip Wiles – Cheshire – Holden GTS (repeat visit)
“I am so much more confident with the vehicle and in my own ability to control the beast (and it can be a beast!). Greg has been brilliant and I hope that I have improved enough to reward his patience?”
Marti Andrews – Burnham, Berkshire – Mazda MX5
“It was a fun and informative experience, which I would recommend to friends and family.”
Susan Thurlow – Doncaster, Yorkshire – Mazda MX5
“I enjoyed skid pan experience and I liked the way the day was broken up into sections, the airfield, the skidpan and the road driving. It was great fun and relaxed, even though it was tiring and hard work! It helped boost my confidence, especially in driving the MX-5. It helped me to remember my old skills and gave me lots of new hints and tips on driving."
Phil Bines – Potters Bar – TVR Cerbera
“A really enjoyable day in good experienced company. I’m glad I decided to take the course and I am confident that it will improve my driving as well as providing me with renewed confidence in my existing skills and style.”
Gary Newbury – Northampton – BMW M3

Rebecca Townsend – Brentford – Middlesex – TVR Chimaera

Nigel Stanley – Hertfordshire – TVR Tuscan
“Exhilarating experience, never to be forgotten.”
Mark Lawrence – Leeds – TVR Cerbera
“Excellent. I have never driven so consistently fast before, particularly in the presence of a police officer! Stuart’s observation and enthusiasm for using the performance of the car where it was safe was very valuable. If I can consistently use just a little of what I learned, my driving will significantly improve.”
Richard Bryant – Bromley, Kent – TVR Chimaera
“The areas covered, mainly cornering and overtaking techniques were very well explained, and they work! The route was excellent and my instructor first-class. A memorable day, encouraging to know that my car can be enjoyed safely and confidently. I think everyone with a performance car should take the course – no, make that everyone, period! Thanks.”
Frazer Anderson – Brokenhurst, Hampshire – TVR Chimaera
“Excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed the day and learned a lot.”
Ian Spooner –Twickenham – TVR S3
“A thoroughly enjoyable day. I will get far more pleasure out of driving around country lanes.”
Conal Walker – Letchworth, Hertfordshire – Honda S2000
“A good grounding in some of the fundamentals of Roadcraft upon which to practice to become smoother and a better driver, combined with the demonstration of some of the more hair-raising aspects of the car when driven at the extremes. The airfield section was the most fun part and a real eye opening experience.”
David Ward - Much Hadham, Hertfordshire – TVR Tamora
“A welcome and thoroughly enjoyable contrast to the IAM instruction. All comments based on road driving techniques as opposed to textbook techniques. Alan was an excellent instructor, friendly, helpful and pitched just at the right level without sermonising. Police anecdotes were fascinating and provided extra entertainment.”
Clive Baxter – Maidstone, Kent – TVR Cerbera
“A very full and reassuring experience giving me more confidence in the handling of the car. At the time it made me aware of the repercussions of getting it wrong, especially when cornering.”
Veronique Selwood – Fareham, Hampshire – TVR Tuscan Speed-Six
“It has been a very interesting and insightful day. Dave has been wonderful at putting me at ease whilst challenging me to push myself more. I feel definitely more comfortable in driving our TVR and more conscious of my need to increase my observation. The written report that I received is completely accurate from my perspective. A big thank you to Dave for making the day so special.”
Alex Selwood - Fareham, Hampshire – TVR Tuscan Speed-Six
“Dave was a true gentle giant, at the same time pushing the boundaries. Great!”
Andy Davies – Brigton, Sussex – TVR Tuscan Speed-Six
“Stuart was very helpful and supportive throughout the day. He encouraged me to progress at my own level and to explore the capabilities of my car (and myself). I learned a few tips for making steady, rapid progress whilst driving and improved my observation skills and positioning on the road.”
Sue Knight – Berkshire – TVR Chimaera
“I would have liked more time on the aerodrome, but I had more than my allocated time anyway! A great teacher and many thanks.”
Yatish Chauhan – Leicester – BMW 330i
“The session was very useful, informative and the quality of the instruction was good. My only disappointment was the lack of written material to begin with.”
John and Tom Kelsall – Yorkshire – TVR Tuscan Speed-Six
“This was a bespoke session that was set up as a taster for track day requirements and a confidence building exercise.
Tom and I have taken away from this a great deal of positive elements to apply and assess in our driving styles. The main message is to have quick hands in a planned or unplanned manoeuvre! We take this experience forward and intend to build upon it on our first ever track-day experience. Many thanks!”
Paul Hunter – Yorkshire – TVR Chimaera
“By the end I was tired, my arms ached and my head was buzzing, but I felt GREAT! The day was very enjoyable, I learnt a great deal and have a lot more confidence in my car than before.”
Ken Dennington-Holdrick – Oxfordshire – TVR Cerbera
“Excellent. Probably the best drive of my life!”
Lisa Bradbury – Derbyshire – TVR T350C
“I have found the whole experience very enjoyable. From speaking with Julian, to sorting out a date and the incredible enthusiasm of Stuart, my instructor, I will definitely be recommending Ride Drive to anyone who will listen.”
John Sheridan – Kent – BMW 330i
“A great day. Adrian provided a wealth of information. Now its time to practice, practice, practice, and those country drives will be all the more pleasurable as a result.”
Guy Chiswick – North London – TVR Chimaera
“Superb service from the initial phone conversation to all elements of the process. Alan was friendly, frank and knowledgeable and really put me at ease – especially on the aerodrome! I now feel real confidence in what my car will do.”
James Melton – Yorkshire – TVR T350C
“I have fundamentally changed my approach to driving since this course. I am now more confident in my car, in my own ability, not just to progress swiftly and smoothly, but also to plan and pre-empt the reactions of other road users. My driving style has become more smooth, focused and less aggressive whilst being able to travel more quickly between destinations.
Much as I dislike ‘the nanny state’ if this course was compulsory, maybe six-months after passing your driving test, I feel this country would be a more courteous and enjoyable motoring society.”
Sarah MaClaren - Hertfordshire - Lotus Elise
"I now have a lot more confidence to really enjoy my car – and a lot to think about for the future."
Tony Chalupa - Cambridge - Lamborghini
"I have commented on www.pistonheads.com in a positive manner. You can see them under "Tony-996hasgone" thread."

"A fun days driving experience allowing me to experiment with my Tuscan in a safe environment and reassuring me my road-driving style is compatible with this car."

"The airfield was certainly fun. Fantastic day - please pass on my thanks to Cliff."
Andrew Carey - Northumberland - TVR Griffith 500
"Extremely valuable experience that covered many aspects of driving quickly yet safely - delivered in a very professional manner. A thoroughly enjoyable and demanding two-days. Thoroughly recommended!"
Neil Baldwin - Derby - TVR T350C
"This being my first TVR, I have to admit to being somewhat scared of their reputation, especially in the cold and wet. Simon was really good at encouraging me to find the cars limits and that experience has multiplied my enjoyment of the car. Also the road driving tips and observation techniques have really stuck in my mind and have altered the way I drive forever."
Mark Riddick - Derbyshire - Subaru Impreza
“I had The Advanced Handling Skills and Road Driving Experience package bought by my brother and for my 40th back in July. I have to say it was fantastic. The course teaches road craft and there's a session on an aerodrome where you can explore the handling your car properly. My instructor is a serving copper in the Notts Armed Response Unit and hat's off to these guys, they really know their stuff.
The course consisted of some motorway work, a spell in towns and lots of twisties, loads of emphasis on hazard perception, defensive driving etc. Spent a lot of time on positioning on the road for when making progress. I learned a lot about my capabilities and my Scoob's. I knew these cars had grip but holy moly!
These guys are a big hit with the Pistonheads TVR crowd and I can see why. This kind of course is much more use to me than say a Pro-drive Live day (although I wouldn't turn one of those down either).”
Emma Levy - Bath, Somerset – MG TF
“The session showed me an entirely different approach to driving. Thank you.”
Glen Cooper - Kent - TVR Tamora
“This was my second time that I have used Ride Drive and I would suggest it is a must for all enthusiasts. Adrian was a good tutor and good company.”
Fiona Smith - West Yorkshire - BMW 530
“A fabulous experience! It gave me confidence and a new style of driving, and a lot of new experiences! I had total confidence in Stuart and felt extremely safe with his guidance at all times.”
Linda Unwin - Surrey - TVR Griffith
I now drive the Griffith with much more confidence. It was a great day and thank you Tom.”
Michael McDowell - Hackney - London - Audi TT
“A day of really serious advanced driving tuition. Stuart was great in applying just enough encouragement to make me progress beyond my comfort zone.”
Daniel Tilley - Northampton - TVR Chimaera
“Overall a good and enjoyable time. Friendly instructor with excellent knowledge of the roads.”
Steve Barlow - Essex - TVR Tuscan S
“A brilliant days driving which truly allowed me to explore the capabilities and limits of my TVR Tuscan S, which is an awesome machine! The quality and the standard of the input from Chris was excellent and it is difficult to think of any way in which this can be improved. I would be very happy to recommend your services to friends or family and I’ll be back for more!”
Henry Hirst - Cambridge - BMW M3
“Thoroughly enjoyable day with a thoroughly pleasant professional”
Paul Hill – London - TVR Cerbera
“Friendly and accommodating instructor, informative fun in a day of driving. It was good to identify and remedy some bad driving habits. I never thought I would learn and take away with me so much that I could apply to my every day driving. Excellent and I will recommend you highly. Thank you for making this available to Joe Public.”
Derek Wilson - Aylesbury - Honda NSX (Three-Days)
“I gained an awful lot from the three days. All comments were constructive and helpful with an emphasis on gaining real life experience. I found it quite intense, being constantly encouraged to incorporate all the new skills into my drive. I was pleased to see that there were no Highway Code quizzes. The attitude taken was one of enjoying driving and the capabilities of a performance car, rather than the typical preaching lesson. It is very rewarding when it all comes together. A real buzz when you get it just right. Thoroughly recommended!”
Steve Nathan - London - TVR Tamora
“Steve is an excellent coach and obviously is a very experienced driver. I learnt a lot during the day, and have re-approached the whole method of driving. I look forward to having my wife’s feedback in a couple of weeks time.”
Ian Foster (repeat visit) - Buckinghamshire - TVR Chimaera
“Excellent - Never fails to exceed expectations and to remind me that there is still a lot to be learned. Thoroughly recommended.”

Ramone Perera - West Drayton, Middlesex - TVR Chimaera
“Difficult to put into words. I feel I am at one with the car and I have learned its limits and my own in safety. Every TVR owner should do this and you can quote me on that! Very enjoyable! Very educational! Steve is a great asset to Ride Drive!”
Linda Murchie - Bedforshire - Lotus Elise
“Fun!!! I had a great day.”
Derek Bell - Ipswich - Jaguar XK8
“Invigorating, exciting and highly educational. My mentor was practical, firm, sociable and put his points across in a clear and acceptable manner.”
Derek Wilson - Aylesbury - Honda NSX
“The handling session really gets the adrenaline flowing and provides the opportunity to learn quickly whilst in a controlled environment.”
Justin Beckett - Shropshire - TVR Griffith
“Thoroughly enjoyed the day.”
Bryan Lister - Halifax - TVR Tuscan Speed-Six
“It may seem like a lot of money but, compared to the value of whatever TVR you own, it really is peanuts especially for the extra enjoyment you will derive from your car. The best performance enhancement you can get for your TVR may not be de-catting your exhaust or re-chipping the ECU but ironically it will probably be fine tuning the nut that holds the steering wheel! I’d like to thank Julian for making the arrangements for the session and Stuart for his infectious enthusiasm, which he maintained through out the day.”
William Howgate - Leeds - TVR S2
“Well worthwhile as a reminder just how easy it is to lose control and how smooth driving is actually quicker.”
George Carter - Surrey - TVR Chimaera (Repeat Visit)
“I found the bend assessment, hazard recognition and observation techniques most useful.”
Jamie Eynon - London - TVR Chimaera

Giles Newby - Gerrards Cross, Bucks - TVR V8s

David Valk - Essex - TVR Griffith
“An excellent experience that was rewarding, enjoyable as well as being educational”
Raymond Greaves - East London - TVR Chimaera
“Great! Boosted my confidence in what I was already doing and I definitely will incorporate the new techniques into my drive.”
Simon Wilcock - Ewhurst, Surrey - TVR Chimaera
“Remarkably enjoyable and useful day; but tiring! Excellent constructive comments, no ‘negative’ comments, even when I got it very wrong! You get continual praise in the TVR Car Club magazine, which is well earned.”
Jon Shephard-Stubbs - Bedford - TVR Griffith
“Very useful - better driving already. The aerodrome work was a ‘smile-a-minute’!”
Steve Wood - Surbiton, Surrey - TVR Cerbera
“A ‘must’ for all new and experienced drivers alike, it should be compulsory! Most enjoyable.”
Peter Baker - Reading, TVR Tuscan Speed-Six
“A good day out! Great to have the level of coaching matched at, or above, my level of knowledge. Steve remained calm even when I ‘reverse parked’ my Tuscan on the runway!”
Steve Griffiths - Abingdon, Oxon - TVR V8s
“A thoroughly worthwhile experience. I would recommend it to anyone.”
Mark Slater - Hertfordshire - TVR Chimaera
“Excellent, great fun, great experience, great company. Frankly all drivers should have to do an element of this.”

Follett - London - TVR Tuscan Speed Six
“Excellent! I had a real blast! I like more technical input, otherwise full marks!”
James Clarke - Hertfordshire - TVR Cerbera
“This reinforced the basics that will now transform my driving style. I wish I had done this a decade ago!”
Andrew Moreton - Kent - TVR Cerbera
“Most informative and rewarding. This has changed my perception of the car and made me less intimidated by it. Should come as compulsory with a TVR!”
Julie Merrett - Kent - TVR Chimaera
“A very enjoyable day. An interesting drive, which included a good mixture of road types, and of course the off-road section, which proved to be quite an eye opener for me. Great fun!”
Richard Davis - London - TVR Chimaera
“I found the advice re the handling capabilities of the car most useful.”
