BrownCarGuy Therapy: Fiona Easterby & Syeed Ali of Drivers Union!
In this wild and heartfelt episode of BrownCarGuy Therapy Session, we welcome adventurer and TV camera operator Fiona Easterby, alongside our regular guest Sy.
Fiona shares her incredible stories of overlanding across continents โ from buying a ยฃ99 Beetle and driving it across the Sahara Desert to Gambia, to an epic journey from the UK to Singapore, passing through Iran and Pakistan in her beloved Baja Bug, Pedro.
Youโll hear about:
๐ Real-world adventures in classic cars โ from Europe to Asia
๐๏ธ The Plymouth-Banjul Challenge, Mongol Rally, and travelling through war zones
๐ Fiona's experience owning a converted electric Beetle โ and why it was a disaster
๐ต๐ฐ How she found Pakistan safer and more hospitable than expected
๐งพ Sy's rage about garage-blocking drivers, ridiculous parking fines, and the war on motoring access
๐ Fiona & Syโs thoughts on recent events like Brooklands German Day, Kop Hill Climb, and AMG GT drives at Brands Hatch and Silverstone
โก EV reliability issues, e-fuels, and the future of classic car ownership
This is one of the most human, funny, and raw episodes yet โ a true tribute to car culture, global travel, and what it's like to live life behind the wheel.
