... With Poppy O'Toole
TikTok potato queen Poppy O’Toole takes us on a tour of the villages around Bromsgrove where she grew up. She tells us where her food obsession started, how she begged her way into her first kitchen and how she first reached a million views on TikTok. Poppy even brought some snacks along for the ride!
We matched Poppy with a cute little Smart ForTwo, her dream vehicle, for a trip to The Barnt Green Inn, Grosvenor House care home, the Queen’s Head in Bromsgrove and Bilston Market in Dudley.
Plus, we're giving away the Smart ForTwo, Poppy's dream car (which we loaded with potatoes!). Go to @autotraderuk on Instagram to see the car full of spuds and find out how you could win!

... With Gorka Marquez
Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka Marquez takes us on a tour of Manchester and Bury, his adopted home. We find out where he discovered his passion for dance, hear stories from behind the curtain at Strictly, and learn how his 6am gym sessions helped him fall for his fiancé, Gemma Atkinson.
We had a lot of fun matching Gorka with a beautifully restored 1964 VW Samba Bus for the drive around the Manchester Arena, Hits Radio, Bury Golf Club and Bury Cemetery. Given its vintage, the Samba is a little noisy at times; but what she lacks in sound proofing, she makes up for in style!
To see exclusive video footage of the drive head to Auto Trader’s social channels, and see the gorgeous VW Samba for yourself.

Francis was ecstatic when we matched him with an Alpina B4 for a trip that included trainspotting at Ilkeston station, visiting his former university house in Beeston and stopping at the walkway where he was first spotted by a fan.
