NINE woman from Redditch-based compressor manufacturer CompAir got into gear for the drive of their lives and raised more than £1,300 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The women had the chance to get behind the wheel of articulated lorries, dumper trucks, tractors, fire engines, sports cars, single and double-decker buses, drain cleaners and rubbish wagons.

The drive was organised by motor sport specialist Prodrive of Kenilworth.
