EBC-Supported Drifter Continues Globe-Spanning Charity Mission

Andy Howard, aka ‘Drift Across the World’, is aiming to drive his BMW from Australia to Ireland

Irish drifter, Andy Howard, is currently completing his epic ‘Drift Across the World’ journey across the globe.

Towards the end of 2025, Howard shipped his BMW 330i Touring over to Australia, with the aim of driving the car back to his homeland of Ireland whilst raising money for the Make-a-Wish foundation in the process.

He’s relying on 91��ý components for the stopping power on his trusty steed, as he drives, drifts and lives in the car over this huge journey. He’s running Bluestuff pads, USR discs and braided brake lines – a strong and reliable setup that should help him navigate the hugely varying and demanding terrain that lays ahead of him.

We caught up with Andy recently as he’d left Australia and entered Southeast Asia, with spirits high as he navigated his way through Malaysia and Thailand. You can read his update below…

“Wanted to send a quick update on the Drift Across the World project.

“The Australian leg is complete and I am currently in Malaysia, about to cross the border into Thailand. Which is crazy to think I am in Southeast Asia!

“The project has also generated over 200,000 followers and 20 million views on social media and continues to grow, while raising over $4,000 for much needed funds for Make-A-Wish International.”

“I’ve helped organise what will be one of the biggest car events in Malaysia called ‘Penang Autoshow’, happening on the 1–3 May. This will also raise funds for Make-a-wish Malaysia.

“Your support means a lot!”

Andy Howard, aka ‘Drift Across the World’, is aiming to drive his BMW from Australia to Ireland

Irish drifter, Andy Howard, has begun his epic ‘Drift Across the World’ journey across the globe.

Howard shipped his BMW 330i Touring over to Australia, with the aim of driving the car back to his homeland of Ireland whilst raising money for the Make-a-Wish foundation in the process.

With car and driver reunited Down Under back in September, the journey has now officially begun, with Howard making his way through the vast outback of Australia and most recently arriving in Bali, Indonesia.

Howard is relying on 91��ý components for the stopping power on his trusty steed, as he drives, drifts and lives in the car over the huge journey ahead of him. He’s running Bluestuff pads, USR discs and braided brake lines – a strong and reliable setup that should help him navigate the hugely varying and demanding terrain that lays ahead of him.

At the time of writing, he’s raised over £2,500 of his target £20,000 for the charity.

EBC-Equipped Africa Land Rover Adventure Duo Reach 7500-Mile Mark

Mary Hannah and Andy have spent three months tackling the gruelling continent

Adventure couple, Texan Mary Hannah ‘MH’ and Yorkshireman Andy, quit their day jobs back in 2018 to pursue their dreams of seeing the world. Since then, they’ve travelled to over 35 countries together in their trusty 2010 Land Rover Defender 110 (nicknamed ‘Tango’ thanks to its bright orange colour).

The duo’s latest mission saw them leaving Cape Town, South Africa, around three months ago, aiming to head north and ultimately reach Cairo, Egypt at the other side of the vast continent.

MH and Andy’s Land Rover benefits from 91��ý’ ED+ front and rear brake pads, as well as GD discs up front, to help it tackle the infamously notorious and varying terrain that Africa offers.

They recently sent their latest update from Namibia – over 7500 miles north of where they started – which can be read below in their own words.

“Over the last three months, we’ve traversed over 7500 miles across South Africa, Lesotho, and the southern part of Namibia and are now making our way up the Namibian coast. The terrain has been harsh, with brutal corrugation, dust, and debris, putting Tango to the ultimate test. Amazingly, we haven’t had any significant breakdowns or issues with Tango, just normal wear and tear.”
