I am either a genius or a complete idiot... 🙈

But... We’re giving away two cars we used in our own Top Gear–style Cheap Car Challenge! 🎥

Why? Because we’re raising funds to finish our dream project: our 5-part Pilot Series for Affinity Racing. This is our first big step into making the kind of car show we’ve wanted for years.

🔥 The prizes?
2006 Mazda MX-5
2008 BMW 123D

Both cars featured in our upcoming episode where we take them coast-to-coast across the UK.

Here’s how to enter:

👉 Every £10 donation = 1 entry into the prize draw.
👉 The more you donate, the cheaper the entries become.
👉 Unlimited entries.
👉 Winners announced live on September 27th.

This isn’t just about winning a car — it’s about helping us bring a proper, grassroots car show to life, as well as literally creating jobs for filmmakers and editors here in the North East.

Every donation gets us closer to making this series happen.

🙏 THANK YOU! 🙏

This weekend, we COMPLETED our 200 laps of Nurburgring 24hr challenge!

To be honest, the first 120 laps genuinely felt like a breeze... And then I hit ‘the wall’ 😰

Those final 9 hours were absolutely BRUTAL 😭

I initially thought regular short breaks would help, but they made me MORE tired!

My arms and legs were aching for 2 days straight. Safe to say, I DO NOT recommend this challenge, ha!

Our crowdfunder and prize draw is still open! You can win a 2008 BMW 1 Series or a 2006 Mazda MX5!

You can still enter here to win the cars. Just visit the link in our bio 🔗

‘And on that bombshell…’ 💣

What an incredible day out we had visiting the Top Gear exhibition up at a few weeks back!

🔗 Full video link in our bio!

To see the very cars - in the flesh - that literally shaped our childhoods, adulthoods, and now careers in automotive content creation was truly something else.

Top Gear, and the Grand Tour, showed us just what was possible with an unmatched passion for cars and a bit of creativity.

Around 15 years ago, I accidentally caught a Top Gear episode (repeated on a channel called ‘Dave’ here in UK) where the guys were making trains with cars. This was the ‘TGV12’ episode.

From there, I was hooked.

Fast forward to 2025, and we’re setting off to create our very own car show.

Whilst Top Gear / Grand Tour will always be the ‘North Star’ of our inspiration, we want to make this OUR OWN in every way we can.

Thank you Top Gear. Thank you Grand Tour 🙌
