The new, 16th series of Top Gear has just started again on TV and, as ever, the boys are busy dropping Beetles from the sky, driving around Iraq and landing helicopters on the roofs of cars. They even get to demolish a couple of cars with a huge truck in a future episode.

Thanks to leading activity gift voucher company Into the Blue, anyone can now get to crush a car, not just those presenting a television show. In what could be described as a serious case of anger management training, mere mortals can go tank driving and drive it straight over a car.

And it's not just any old tank you'll be driving. At the tank-driving centre in Northampton it's the Daddy of all tanks - the Chieftain. This 56 tonne warzone monster will flatten anything in its wake, making that sad looking old reasonably priced car waiting to be squished look really rather vulnerable.

Being enormous, the Chieftain can accommodate friends and family too, so this tank driving experience can involve all the family to put even more weight behind those tracks.

Choosing the Leicestershire venue for your tank driving and car crush experience means the exploits will take place in either an Abbot tank or the FV32 armoured personnel carrier, both more than capable of the job.

Driving a tank in a Top Gear style has got to be a must-do activity for any petrol head. Into the Blue activities manager Darren Dray commented:

"Having had the chance to go tank driving and crush a car, I can safely say it's the closest you'll ever get to doing anything like the mad stunts that they attempt on motoring TV shows. It's not as easy as it looks, but nothing beats the satisfaction of watching the car crumble under the tank as you drive over it."

Tank driving through Into the Blue starts from £86 per person and the tank driving with car crush starts from £339 per person. All vouchers can be purchased online and are valid for 12 months.
