| book description |

David Ward has spent most of his life travelling the globe, with travel, cars, and music as his guiding passions. In 2007, fate—or perhaps just a strong drink—brought him together with a 2003 Brabus smart car (equipped with a radio!). This unlikely pairing led him into the thrilling world of competitive rallies, as they took on a prestigious European event and won, earning them a spot in car enthusiasts’ hearts. Not content to stop there, David and his trusty smart car embarked on more daring adventures. They raced overnight from Land’s End to John O' Groats, tackled Scotland’s NC500 in the dead of winter, and even caught the attention of TV and film. When the smart car needed a rest, David carried on, navigating 3,000 miles around Europe in a vintage 1972 beach buggy. Later, he took another smart car on a 7,500-mile trek from Europe’s northernmost tip to its southernmost point. David’s adventures, narrated with humour and warmth, capture the joy and resilience of exploration. His journey proves that the spirit of adventure is alive, no matter the vehicle.
