Always wanted a run in a tank, never got round to it when the chance was there to do it for free and the Queen was paying for the fuel.

Equally, heavy plant stuff is on the list too. I just really enjoy operating different types of vehicles and besides the Cobra the biggest surprise was the Nimrod. They had 4 Rolls Royce Spey engines and accelerated like it's **** was on fire.

The director of where I work gave me the keys to his R8 once, took that out for about half an hour, loved it.

And James Wade (Phil Taylor just thrashed him in the darts recently) turned up at work once, and I took his M3 out for a spin - right down to earth guy he was.
