56 year old Alastair Scott from Monmouthshire has had to diversify his business after struggling to make money out of crops any longer. Instead he has started up his own Tank driving school where people can come and get to drive a real Russian T55-AM2 Tank.

The tank was brought over on a low loader from Poland and the great thing is no driving license is needed for guests to be able to have their own chance to drive the monster machine!

If the chance to drive a tank isn’t enough Mr Scott is now letting people do car crushing or even drive over a computer, sounds the perfect relief form a stressful week commuting to a job sat behind a desk to us!

The tank driving experiences are available from www.tankschool.co.uk

In their line up of Tanks & Military vehicles they have:
• Abbot self propelled gun tank
• 432 Armoured Personnel Carrier
• BV206 Hagglund Amphibious Personnel Carrier
• Bedford MJ 4×4 truck
• Miniature Tanks

So with this line up you have a range of different tank driving experiences that you can try your hand at, which includes the ever popular car crushing!
Unlike other tank driving providers Tank Mania also have Miniature Tanks, which are pretty much what they say on the tin. Tanks but in miniature form, 3 foot tall and 7 foot long and can fit one person (children can also drive these).

Driving a tank is a driving experience that will be a ton (well 55 tons of metal) of laughs and enjoyment but how about adding a bit of extra spice to the occasion by having a tank battle against someone else and getting to fire paint bombs at each other to make it even more interesting and intense!

Tank Paintballing

Your three person crew will drive one of the specially modified 432 APC where you will get to drive, arm and fire the gun after you have lined them up in your periscope!
Think paintballing but on a much larger scale and without getting hurt if and when you get hit!

Before you head into Tank paintballing battle you learn all you need to about driving the tank, a couple of levers, one to turn you left and one to turn you right plus an accelerator pedal and that’s it, no need to worry about gear changes as it’s all automatic!

After your tank driving training next up is the target practice and firing the paintball bombs at a target, with a bit of luck your target practice will be better that your opponents as next up is the tank paintballing battle and you want to make sure your 200mph “bombs” are hitting them more than you getting hit by any!

Setting off in a 4×4 to tackle a range of adverse muddy condition you will be amazed at the ability of real off-road vechiles. It is not all fast paced action but very skillful and precise as your 4×4 defies what you think is possible.
Take a look at the following video of an 4×4 Off-Road driving experience at Silverstone done in what we think is one of the best off road 4×4 made, the Land Rover Defender!
