Goat, the StreetSafari van, at the UK's end

End2End Recce

There we are, looking for a great British drive.

We've spent all these years driving around Europe, and showing StreetSafari teams some of the best roads you can drive, but all the while staying away from the UK. One reason for that was very simple - Euro Plod doesn't speak much English.

The StreetSafari Kia: My Home2Rome Car

Here we go people, my Kia Pride. We collected her this morning.

Now you will notice that we (me and Kevin) are cleaning it. This is actually a sickness rather anything else. We just hate cars that haven't been cleaned for months and months. And when I mean cleaned - we clean everything.

Even got the John Major Back To Grey out for the bumpers at the end to confirm that they are in fact, grey.

So, here we go, 1.3 litres of pure something*. (*I can assure you it's not motoring):
