It wasn't all about serious sporting prowess. Nothing brought a smile to the face of my +1 as much as the appearance of Megasaurus - a vehicle that transformed before our eyes into a fire snorting dinosaur. They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays.

After the interval there was also a brilliant performance from Team FMX, a group of freestyle motocross riders, who hit staggering jumps off a huge ramp - the likes of which your kids wouldn't even attempt with their toys - onto a giant inflatable landing pad. Branded a 'Glow Party', Saturday night's show was every bit as big and brash as you would imagine. Strobing lasers lit up the darkened arena, as did the neon lights decorating the heavy duty vehicles. And yes, it was loud. Very loud. Next up was a doughnuts contest, with the colossal machines spinning in circles and burning rubber, ludicrously fast. It looked like the winner of this round, Mega Wrex, was going to take off! From the revving of engines to the screeching of tyres, the experience was often deafening. As my extremely excited small companion observed: "They're so loud I can't speak!" Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store.This weekend the Liverpool M&S Bank Arena is the home of these giant-tyred off-road behemoths, which originated in America in the 1970s. However, the show was a genuine spectacle, lasting the best part of two hours, and I can't imagine these incredible metal machines are economical to run! Boasting giant claws and massive jaws, Megasaurus lifted a car up in the air, then ate it in half. As he devoured his prey, the wide-eyed child by my side shouted: "This is the most insane one yet - he's the greatest!" Kids can feed crushable and die-cast cars into the mouth of Crushzilla, then aim Mega-Wrex at the appropriate smash spot to free them. (Additional cars sold separately. ).
