A little of what we do, where we go, and what we see and do while we're there. That's a bit of what makes up the News & Views area. All the latest additions to our site are posted here in laundry list fashion. Check here often to assure you don't miss anything!
Get ready for a really huge understatement: The Classic Car Show is a big show!
This is the premier show for classic cars (obviously) in the United Kingdom and StreetSafari does have a (tenuous) link to classic shows in that we wreck cars that will eventually become collectible. Quite simply, our activities thin out the numbers of car and in turn adds to the value of future classics - eg cars that don't fall into our clutches.
Read moreStreetSafari is always looking for car related articles for the website, so if you do something car related and have the ability to write your thoughts down in a semi-coherent manner, preferably sober, and can take a good picture or two, then drop us a line and we'll probably publish it!
This weekend we went up to Honister Slate Mine to watch the Vintage Sports Car Club run their hill climb event.
The "Vintage" in their name should probably give away the age of these cars, which were built anywhere between the very early 1900s to around 1930.

Read moreAs many of the StreetSafari regulars know, after CzechWrecks 2010 we did a recce to Romania and the Transfagarasan Highway.
It's a road that was shown on Top Gear back in early 2009 and we have been asked repeatedly to go drive it for StreetSafari and maybe to include it on an event. You may think I have the best job in the world. Maybe. Definitely top three.
First problem is “you need to go and drive the Transfagarasan Highway”, erm, yeah. Anyone know where it is? Romania. And where exactly is Romania? Anywhere near where we already go? No. Romania is the other end of Europe.
Read moreCzechWrecks is StreetSafari's fourth Banger Rally of the year, and when you write the wrap article you have to ask yourself, where do you start? Thunderbird 4 probably, but we'll get to that in a moment.
This event was promoted in the Daily Telegraph back in 2009 when a charity team had a Telegraph journalist along as a team mate. Our event received some excellent coverage a few weeks later with front page and inside front cover of the Motoring Telegraph section. Talk about lucking out!
Read moreIt's been a few years since we've done a music video on the events (BABE Rally 2008 was the last) so in a moment of "Yeah, what the heck" we decided to have a bit of fun with the nuns on Staples2Naples.
Read moreHome2Rome 2010 was always going to be a special event. It was the event that was getting the most signups for the 2010 season, had a large number of veterans (good fun element assured), and for some reason had its own energy.
There are some events that are destined to go down as classic events to be on, and this was most certainly one of them.

The second photo was taken on Day 3 in Aprica, Italy. Day 3 is traditionally Fancy Dress/Costume Day. The 2010 theme for European events was "Nuns on the Run".
