See IWOOTE In Action

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Further to the launch of I Want One Of Those Experiences, we took some distinguished guests out on a bit of a jolly around the middle of London, all in the name of showing people the freeing feeling of being driven around in a bed. And an office desk. Obviously. Was the throng of fashionistas in Soho Square ready for such a disarming sight? Did anyone climb in the bed and demand five minutes’ kip? Well, no, but you can see the results below. Watch out for the supremely confused-looking folk on the office desk:

 

This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as IWOOTE (we’re all pronouncing it “IWOOT-E”, but I personally prefer to make it a little jauntier… “IWOOTY”…) is concerned. Pop across to the website to see the full extent of the experiences on offer. If you’ve really dried up on the present-buying front, you could do an awful lot worse that buying a days worth of circus skills tuition as a way to say ‘I think you’re neat’. Or there’s a massive array of supercar, hypercar and flying experiences - and there’s always a sports themed boudoir photoshoot. Crumbs.

Asleep At The Wheel for IWOOTE.com PR Day

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Anyone who found themself stalking the streets of central London yesterday may have been confused to find some comfortable-looking people taking to the roads in some bizarre vehicles. Unless, of course, you’re used to seeing a bed, a sofa and an office desk driving around Theatreland - and you’re not, are you? So let us tell you, there’s no better way to beat the numbing inevitability of a traffic jam in the capital than slipping on your jim-jams, closing your eyes and letting it all pass you by… assuming you’ve got a licensed and awake driver that is. Ahem.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our PR event for the launch of our brand new Experiences website, I Want One Of Those Experiences:

If you want your life to look like those pictures (and you’d be mad not to, surely) then have a look at the World’s Wackiest Racers Experience here. For a plethora of other silly, dangerous, white knuckle-inducing and, above all, fun experiences, look no further than our range of unhinged adventures here.

I Want One Of Those Experiences Launches!

Monday, October 19th, 2009

You’re used to finding all sorts of quirky and cool bits and pieces from IWOOT, but we also ply a noble trade in experiences too. In fact, we love these experiences so much that we’ve launched a whole new website dedicated to them - they range from snowboarding to paintballing, from wine-tasting to indoor skydiving. Or there’s always driving a sofa. We’ve called it, quite logically, I Want One Of Those Experiences (or IWOOTE, as it’s becoming known), and we think it’s top.

Whatever you’re looking for (within reason, we can’t get you onstage with Take That or anything… not yet, anyway), just have a flick through the ridiculous range of experiences we’ve got and you’ll see something you or someone you know will fancy. Some are genteel and relaxing, some are utterly insane thrill-rides, and there’s quite bit in between. Head over here to discover the new site, and say goodbye to your lunch hour as you ponder exactly how one goes about Medieval Jousting.

Hydra Spyder - Amphibious Sports Car

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

I most definitely WOOT! Ever since I watched my first James Bond film I’ve been fascinated by gadgety cars, whether they’re equipped with an ejector seat, surface to air missiles or a musical cigarette lighter. But a sports car that’s also a speedboat? Surely that’s far too much fun for one person to enjoy without exploding.

The Hydra Spyder is powered by a Corvette 6.0 litre V8 engine, so even when you’re out of the water it’s still an impressive hunk of car. The hull has been packed with positive floatation foam allowing the beast of a machine to keep it’s head above water while you tear around the nearest lake. It truly is a beast of a machine, but with a starting price of $155,000 I may have to wait until those lucky numbers come in before I put my order in. Check out Cool Amphibious Manufacturers International for the full range of vehicles and their specifications.

Now THIS is a Sidecar.

Monday, June 29th, 2009

If I had $20,000 and ten years to spend it I’d probably not have made something as fantastical as the Snaefell, so thank God for people like Francois Knorreck. He’s made an absolute beast of a machine and, I have to admit, if this was available for sale I would be straight down the DVLA to book my driving test (what, I live in East London, in between 3 tube stations - why would I ever need to drive?). The designer has used parts from several different vehicles to construct the sidecar and combined it with a Laverda Motorcycle. It kind of reminds me of one of the vehicles from Mask, the cartoon. If he makes one that can transform I am definitely dedicating my life to possessing one.
