A few weeks ago, I met up with @JJonCars so he could film with my beloved BMW 325i. I’m happy to say the video is now live! Enjoy :)
PS, this car will be driving back to its homeland (again) in a matter of weeks. Keep your eyes peeled 👀

Introducing P5 DXA! I’m officially a private plate snob… 🫣
I never used to like them, but after getting D5 DXA on my 18th birthday, I knew I’d be after another in future. I also replaced the Panda’s little Italian flag strip for a fresh one. Don’t all sigh at once! 😅

You’ve seen the Audi F1 launch, now you can watch the third and final Daniel Drives video with my old TT. I explain why I sold it so soon, the strengths and pitfalls of a bargain TT, and my BMW and Fiat plans for 2026… 🎥

Daniel Drives YT is back for 2026! 🍾
We begin with a walkaround tour of last weekend’s Bicester Scramble. It was a particularly cold and damp day, but that allowed for some rally and 4x4 legends to come out and play. Enjoy!

3 years ago today, my lifelong dream came true - I passed my driving test. I’ve since covered close to 100k miles all around Europe in all sorts of vehicles. Nothing will ever beat the excitement of the 10th January 2023 🙌

The first of two Daniel Drives episodes with the wonderful @KiaUK EV3 has gone live! I take a drive up to the Lake District to test the car on a mixture of roads, with some stunning scenery along the way. Can it really do 300+ miles on a charge? 🤔
