En route to Wanaka we came across Cardrona Adventure Park, which was in the middle of nowhere. What drew us in were the huge American monster trucks in the driveway. We decided to go out in an 8 wheeler argo which are built to go up, through and over anything which is exactly what we did. We've never held on so tight!
Ross, the guy that drove us in the Argo is a monster truck stunt driver. He is currently building a 2500bhp (the same power as 6 Ferrari's) monster truck. He hopes to jump 300ft and break the world record in the process. He was crazy! We listened to his stories for hours.
The next day we went back to Cardrona as Matt wanted to drive a monster truck himself as its apparently the only place in the world you can do so. It was only a 'tame' 500bhp but in its day had jumped over 100ft! Matt had loads of fun driving it and even got some air on a jump. I decided to go as a passenger with Ross driving after learning that each wheel costs $15,000 and we could be liable! Our bruises are now recovering.
