When it comes to road trips, the destination might be important, the right car is crucial, but the company is what really makes the journey memorable. Whether it’s sharing stories, cranking up the tunes, or just having a laugh, the right people can turn any road trip into an epic adventure. But if you had to pick, who would be your dream celebrity road trip companions? Who would you trust to take the wheel, and who would you want to have in the passenger seat for a cross-country escapade?

It’s been quite a few years since Imthishan Giado and I last sat down for a good, old-fashioned chat. As former business partners and good friends, we’ve shared countless memories during our time at Car Middle East and Motoring Middle East.
