Future alleged Top Gear USA host and X Games rally medalist, Tanner Foust is also a good friend of Autofiends. He’s off to Europe for the ultimate driving holiday with his other TV show, Speed TV’s Supercars Exposed, to drive exotic metal in exotic locations — Lambo at the Nurburgring anyone? Tanner lives the life of the ultimate autofiend and he’s promised to give us a glimpse of behind the scenes and behind the wheel with an exclusive blog on his two week trip. Here’s the first (short) installment, check in daily for more:

Two words:  friggin early!  The journey starts at 6am with nine checked bags, the Supercars Exposed crew of four, some haggling for first class tickets and strong cup of joe.  We jump from LAX to Newark on our way to Milan.  We’ll arrive there at 8am ready for a day of Lambo bashing through the Italian countryside! I’ll be checking in with pics and words from my iPhone regularly so stay tuned.
