Matt's background in engineering and motorsport are little more than a smoke-screen to conceal his guilty secret: he's a massive nerd for all things automotive. Indeed, he was once cautioned by a police officer for being 'overtly lustful' near a Citroen DS, and still hasn't washed the hand that Jackie Stewart shook 7 years ago.

 

As a veteran of hundreds of motoring mishaps and adventures, he knows exactly what to do, where to go, and what not to get caught with in your boot in Poland at 4 a.m. He does these things so you don't have to. Sometimes, we don't know how he does it for the money.

The back of Darren's hand is actually a relief map of the world's greatest driving roads. Early in his career he had the awful job of scouting great roads for motoring journalists to drive new cars on. Now a creator of epic road trips and adventures, if there's a road that's worth driving then he'll know about it.

Darren prefers his drives on the extreme side and his cars without doors or windows or any such 'frilly stuff'.

Bryn secretly yearns to be a long distance truck driver, but battles with the attached dietary and social sacrifices. His first piece of photojournalism was printed in 1997, detailing a three month trip that saw him cross America twice. His career path has now lead him to be homeless and wander the earth searching out good things on wheels. Currently he owns six cars on three different continents and can often be heard whistling the theme tune to 'The Littlest Hobo' Bryn Musselwhite... Back on the road again.
