#LIKEACHALLENGE 

Dubai turned up the heat once again with the 2025 Dubai International Baja, the grand finale of both the FIA World Baja Cup and the FIA Middle East Baja Cup. The event, based in vibrant Dubai Festival City, drew adventurous crews from across the globe to tackle challenging desert terrain, from the rocky heights of Hatta to the sweeping sands of Al Qudra - a true test of driver skill, machine resilience and pure grit in the middle of the UAE’s stunning landscapes.

We (the royal 'we': me and my coolest man Andreas) spent 2 weeks in USA between LA - San Francisco - Portland - Seattle & 1 week in Vancouver and Vancouver Island. We enjoyed a couple of days in LA with the help of a few uber rides (only picked up the car on day 3) - it’s near impossible to get enough of LA in 48h, but we squeezed in most of the ‘iconic’ attractions. DAY 1: Arrive in LA, check into hotel & head straight to Venice beach, totally jetlagged. We

I recently embarked on a short but very exciting weekend road trip around the island of Kos. It was my very first time visiting Greece. Armed with a trusty Jeep Wrangler and my usual appetite for discovery, I set out to explore the stunning beaches and hidden gems that this Greek paradise had to offer. First on my itinerary was a visit to the capital city of Kos. Stepping into the bustling streets, I was instantly captivated by the vibrant atmosphere and the remnants of ancie

Corralejo - Sotavento - Cofete This is route number 2, which goes down south from Corralejo, all along the east coast of Fuerteventura. The drive south will take you around 2hours: that’s more or less how long it takes to do the whole east coast of Fuerteventura (sticking to the tarmac roads). I did a north – south – north roadtrip in one day (including sunset in Morro Jable), so it’s definitely doable in 8-10hours including food, beach stop and sunset on the way. From Corral

I ended up with another Fiat, this time the cute & classy 500C. It's not a full convertible but 'topless' enough to dry your hair. It’s actually my second time testing the Fiat 500: I did my first ( non-topless ) drive a few years ago in Sardinia. It’s cool, much as it feels like a slightly bigger version of a Matchbox toy car (I used to play with those as a kid:). I would never see myself driving it day to day: it's just too 'delicate' for me plus the small size of the boot

If I could describe this car in one word: fun! It’s the perfect roadtrip car for Fuerteventura (more details on the actual roadtrip in a seperate post). It’s a joyful roadster made for a sexy, wind–in–your-hair ride. It’s a revival of the 1960s/70s model, redesigned using elements of the very popular Mazda MX-5 Miata. This car does a fantastic job if you want to add a bit of edge to your sunny roadtrip. It’s very tempting to push down the accelerator, especially in the Abarth

It was supposed to be my second proper season, but the world had other plans... Last year I took part in all the stages of the Interia Drive Cup and managed 3rd place in the ladies, which was a great achievement for a first timer. I really wanted to take my racing skills up a notch this year, but... it's already September and only this Saturday will I do my first race again. Either way, looking forward to it, seeing my coach Adam and hoping for some more go-karting action to

I've been (more or less; )successfully competing in the Interia Drive Cup this year. It's a semi-pro competition for classic style racing cars, taking place in Poland, with 6 stages in total. Each one takes place at a different track around the country and I've got one more final stage to complete in November (which I hope I can make). I'm currently holding the 3rd place in the Ladies Cup and I hope it stays that way. Just wanted to give you some photo highlights from my firs

This year I’m hoping to take my race driving skills to the next level and starting in the Interia Drive Cup in Poland. It’s targeted at (good) amateur drivers but also experienced ones ready to leap into the world of pro championships. That’s exactly why it’s a good mix, I have space to improve competing against others who are much better than me at this stage of my ‘career’. Interia Drive Cup is formed of 6 races held at various racecourses in Poland plus a bonus cross coun

Just some long overdue highlights from the epic Monte Carlo or Bust rally, when me and my dad managed to clock up nearly 5000km around Europe and raise nearly £500 for the Help for Heros charity. We went from Warsaw to St Quentin in France then down to Monte Carlo (via Switzerland and Italy) and back to Warsaw. All in my grandad's 1991 Toyota Corolla, which is still going strong. Enjoy!

Throwback to November last year. It was the first big challenge-roadtrip I did when I created this site. I was also talking with my good friend Gosia the other day about doing a weekend in Marrakesh, so it motivated me to finally write what I was meaning to write a long while ago. A few ‘how to drive in Morocco’ pointers and what NOT to do when hiring a car down that neck of the woods (desert). Even though it’s been a year, I still remember all the routes very well and each

The latest on the graphics for the Toyota Corolla. I'll be heading to Poland mid-May (and then around mid-June again) to sort these out and also do a final MOT - style check of the car. Fingers crossed it will survive 4500km haha!

Here you go, the next episode of the 'Monte Carlo or Bust Rally' series. My dad came over to London a few weeks go and we finally sat down to do the maths. We finally starting adding up all the kms we have to do....YIKES. Either way, we're prepping and we'll be ready for July :)

A vlog introducing you to my amazing grandad, whose Toyota Corolla I'll be driving all the way to Monte Carlo in July and racing funds for the Help for Heros charity. He was a WWII veteran and also my personal hero. I miss him loads, but I hope he's going to be proud when he sees his beloved car in front of the Monte Carlo casino! : )

Find out how me and my dad are getting on with the prep for the Monte Carlo or bust rally. We've been testing our car in rather extreme weather conditions... and do enjoy my dad's beautiful English accent ;)

Here’s a few photos from the last Warsaw ‘Barborka’ Rally which takes place every year at the end of the Polish rally season. Over the years, it’s become an iconic event gathering the best of Polish drivers and special guests from around the world. 'Barborka' also refers to the 4th Dec and Saint Barbara, who is the patron...of miners. Still, a relatively big celebration in Poland (mining used to be big here). Also ,if you know any Barbaras or Basias wish them a 'Happy Iminin

There's been heated discussions with my co-pilot (dad) in regards to the car we should take for the Monte Carlo or bust rally . We initially thought about getting a very cheap convertible as it does get really hot in the summer around the Mediterranean. Later on, we were wondering if we should go with a more ‘Polish’ car. Something like this... This is the FSO Polonez. Clarkson referred to this as one of the worst cars in the world and 'The Telegraph' says it should never ha

My journey with go-karting (and racing cars) only began recently, but I already know it's going to be a longer chapter in my life. As you know, my goal is to get a racing licence (in my lifetime;) and go-karting is a solid starting point to improve my skills. To those who are less familiar with racing and rallies, they are two separate sport driving disciplines. In racing you go round a circuit, usually a winding tarmac track, whereas a rally is made up of a different routes

The Duster is a great car. As a multi-purpose crossover it ticks a lot of boxes. BTW what’s a crossover? A small SUV, looks like a 4x4 though usually isn’t, family friendly, can but handle minor off-road adventures. Other examples include Nissan Juke, Peugeot 3008, Renault Captur or a BMW X1. We tend to think of the Duster as the cheap alternative. And it is the indeed the most affordable on the market (around £10,000 in the UK). It's certainly a very common sense option: if

A few (unedited) videos from my training at Motopark Krakow and basic notes about the exercises I performed. First, the slalom. Most of you will say: easy. Indeed, it’s probably easier than some other manoeuvres, yet surprisingly tricky if you want to do it smoothly and at one speed (keeping the accelerator pedal in the same position throughout). These are important rules if you want to be a good driver in general: executing any turns as smoothly as possible, without wastin
