Hi all! As most of you know I went on a roadtrip in the summer! Myself and some friends bought old cars for no more than £500 (I bought a 1989 Volvo 740 with a B23OE engine) and we drove from Surrey to Dover, over the water on a Norfolk Line ferry, then from Dunkerque through France and down to 60 miles over the Italian border where we stayed at a campsite for 5 evenings! Then we drove back the way we came, albeit on a different route, and stayed in a couple of very affordable F1 hotels. It was a bloody epic trip and, me being me, I filmed it all! Its taken a couple of months to edit but all the episodes are available to watch now! I did it in a TV show format - having taken inspiration from the 2006 Gumball 3000 tv series! So you can watch all of them in order as I have created a playlist on our YouTube channel! I hope you enjoy watching them all, any feedback will be much appreciated!
Crapheap TV Episodes
Cheers for now!
Jonny.

Nice one Jonny. Some good stuff there. I want to get to europe a bit more in the Delorean next year as I enjoyed the Holland trip a lot.
Hi Tyson. I was working up in Peterborough the other day and thought I went past your carpet shop, having just seen your avatar picture I'm sure it was. Is it right near some big wind turbines?
