We all go on road trips, but aren't they all the same? Well, I've been on my fair share of them, and if im is honest, it's, the ones that I plan with my friends and then set challenges along the way that are the ones which are the most fun. My guest Mark Hanner knows all about this, from his Supercar Hire business to working for Roadster. Exciting cars and travel have been surrounding him for years.

So if you want to know what it's like having a business centred around supercars, how to make the road trips you go on as exciting as possible or even how to convince a start-up to hire you, listen on. After this conversation, I have been using Roadstr more to plan my trips, I have been more critical of the opportunities that have come my way, and I am trying to enjoy driving again. So go out with friends, make memories and enjoy your car!
