Josh Kerr, Jack Birtwistle, and Elliott Barrott posted videos of their journey to Ibiza which have received more than 10 million views
Three friends have made their own Top Gear episode after buying each other “bangers” for under £500 and driving more than 1,500 miles from the North West to Ibiza while documenting every stage of their journey on camera.
Josh, who works in digital marketing, always dreamed of doing a “Top Gear special” with his friends ever since watching the popular British TV show as a little boy with his father. Last year, Josh and his two friends, Jack and Elliott, decided to put words into action and started brainstorming their very own Top Gear challenge.
Elliott bought Jack a 2003 Citroen Saxo, which he spray painted two tone and installed a pink roof rack carrying an inflatable canoe. Josh bought Elliott a Ford KA for £495, which had no central console and customised it to be a BMW M Sport Edition. It was dark by the time they arrived in the French capital but after several wrong turns, they spotted the Eiffel Tower’s spot light in the sky, and were able to reach their destination. “The hard part was when we got in Paris, because you think you’d just be able to see it, but you couldn’t, like it was nowhere to be found,” said Josh.
After forking out around 100 euros each for France’s motorway tolls, Josh and his friends were pleasantly surprised by the cheap prices in Andorra and treated themselves to some refreshments. “We didn’t realise that Andorra is so cheap because there is no tax,” he said.
