Get a quad and take it on some land with a few hills and jumps.

Great fun.

See if you can get hold of a second hand Honda Pilot. Brilliant fun

Secondhand cos the buggers stopped making them

That was what got the quad thing started my brother has a ten yr old and a 2 yr old thought a 2 seat quad would be ideal hills jumps mud etc.But now i am thinking of a boat speed or cruiser my brother works on the rigs and reckons he has got sea legs so i could sway him into getting a boat i reckon.

What about a hovercraft??

If you only know that water is wet then i suggest you don't bother with the boat unless you get some RYA training as water is lethal to dumbos in speedboats

Go for a quad, but do it properly and make sure there's somewhere off road you can legally ride it. There was a load of quads around here last summer that all seem to have disappeared, whether they were "borrowed" or not I dont know, but the local plod didnt take too kindly to a few of the riders antics with them.

Neighbour used to use his for going to/from work daily, road registered with a few tweaks on the carb and it was a good laugh. That was a Quadzilla as well

If it floats, fcks or flies - rent it.


Edited to say: a speed boat will cost you minimum of £1,500 a year in winerization maintenance and storage

I like that quote, I've heard it before on here. Are they your wise words?
