On this episode of Backseat Driver, I had the pleasure of hosting Martin Smith and Mark "Glovey Squanch" to discuss their remarkable journey from England to the Nürburgring in a Reliant Kitten. They shared the meticulous preparations and modifications to ready the Kitten for such an ambitious trip, culminating in an exhilarating experience navigating the famed Nordschleife.

Our conversation also explored their passion for unique and quirky vehicles, highlighting their active involvement with the Retributes car club and various automotive projects, including bike-engined cars. Their enthusiasm for unconventional motoring was genuinely infectious, offering listeners a glimpse into a vibrant subculture of automotive enthusiasts.
