I think there will always, no matter what industry, be an air of politics around working with manufacturers, working with brands.
And I think when I first started to get invited to press drives, so international media launches or opportunities to drive manufacturers' latest cars, the first one I ever did was with Audi and it was the 2015 RS3.
Now, at the time, I would have been 24.
The best email I'd ever received, would you like to come and drive Audi's brand new RS3?
And at the time, I think I had driven my Vauxhall Astra, a BMW i3, and maybe a BMW i8.
So I said yes.
Unbelievable.
I was just happy to be there.
That will come across on camera.
Couldn't believe the experience.
Fast forward 10 years, let's say.
I've had incredible emails, unbelievable opportunities, worked with so many different manufacturers.
You don't get paid to go on these press trips, but all of your expenses are paid.
You're wined and dined.
You're well looked after.
And I started to meet other journalists that had come from a slightly different era, maybe 90s, going into the early noughties.
And they were like, wow.
these are a little bit weak and tame now.
We're not allowed to get smashed before we go out and drive the car the next day.
I think I heard stories of Lamborghini gifting journalists things like watches and stuff like that back in the day.
