subject: Christmas Ideas For The Adrenaline-junkies In Your Life [print this page] With so much turkey, television and trifle, it is difficult to avoid all the temptations that Christmas brings. If you want to keep your action men in shape this festive season though, weve got some great adrenaline-inspired presents to choose from. Whether its supercar thrills or paintballing parties, these Christmas ideas will be sure to keep their excitement levels and heart rates up.
On The Right Track
Does the thought of going from 0-60mph in a staggering 2.7 seconds get your partners pulse racing? A drive in an Ariel Atom could be just the Christmas gift for them then. With the help of this little pocket rocket, the action man in your life can follow in the footsteps of Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond with a ride in the fastest car to have graced the Top Gear track. Following a warm up drive in a sports saloon, adrenaline-junkies will be able to put their pedal to the metal in a six-mile adventure around the Mallory Park circuit.
If you want to earn some serious brownie points however, why not indulge your partners Formula 1 fantasies with a visit to Northamptons famous Silverstone track. Here he can follow in the footsteps of Fernando Alonso with a drive in his very own Ferrari supercar too for a day at least. Before taking to the track in a 360 Ferrari Modena supercar, drivers will also be taught safety and driving techniques as well as the tracks racing lines by a qualified instructor.
Soldier On
If your partner fancies himself as a bit of an Andy McNab rather than a Jenson Button though, then a days paintballing or quad biking may be more suited to him this Christmas. The perfect gifts for men who feel more at home in camouflage than supercars, these adrenaline-fuelled activities are a great way to treat all the action men in your life at the exact same time!
Perfect for groups of friends or family members, a days paintballing enables them to indulge their competitive side in up to six game zones. As well as fulfilling their Rambo dreams in full body armour and with a rapid-fire, semi-automatic machine gun, the true Terminator of the day will also be recognised in a debrief and awards presentation.
For someone with a need for speed however, a drive on a Honda 250ES is the perfect pastime. Offering action men the chance to feel the mud in their hair, a days quad biking not only involves a trip around marked circuits but a slippery journey through water and woodlands. A safety briefing and protective clothing will also be provided to protect any Christmas purchases.
