"Every Mile Has a Story"
The Channel
Welcome to Drive Time Escapes - where three brothers turn every drive into an adventure worth sharing. Conrad, Ben, and Jamie bring you weekly doses of epic road trips, Top Gear-style challenges, and pure automotive passion from our base in the UK.
From our legendary annual "Race to Beat the Sun" (Land's End to Ness Point on the longest day) to conquering Scotland's NC500, we share every laugh, breakdown, and breathtaking moment. Whether we're tackling challenges in quirky cars like our Renault Wind or cruising epic routes in our beloved Audis, expect genuine brotherhood, brilliant banter, and the kind of adventures that remind you why the open road calls.
Our YouTube channel drops new content weekly, taking you along for the ride as we explore legendary driving routes across the UK and beyond. With upcoming escapes planned for Normandy (2025) and Ireland (2026), plus dreams of tackling Route 66, we're just getting started.
Join our community of passionate road warriors who know that the best adventures happen when you hit the road with the right crew. Because at Drive Time Escapes, every mile has a story - and we can't wait to share ours with you.
Conrad
Meet Conrad - the mastermind behind Drive Time Escapes and the brother who somehow convinced Ben and Jamie that driving to Land's End at 4am was a brilliant idea. When he's not planning the next epic adventure or handling all the logistics that keep their road trips from turning into complete chaos, Conrad's busy behind the camera capturing every laugh, breakdown, and breathtaking moment.
As the driving force (literally) of the trio, Conrad brings his passion for motorsport and expertise as a professional driving tutor to every journey. Whether he's navigating the NC500 in his beloved Audi or tackling a ridiculous challenge in the Renault Wind, his enthusiasm for cars and the open road is infectious. He's the one making sure they actually reach their destinations - usually with a story or two to tell along the way.
Ben
Meet Ben - the loudest, funniest, and most entertaining Phillips brother on any Drive Time Escapes adventure. Behind the wheel of his Vauxhall Astra VXR, Ben brings the energy and laughs that turn every road trip into comedy gold. His passion for hot hatches perfectly complements his larger-than-life personality, making him the brother you want along when things get challenging (or when you need someone to break the tension with a perfectly timed joke).
Whether he's providing hilarious commentary during epic drives or taking on Conrad's latest ridiculous challenge, Ben's enthusiasm and humor are what make Drive Time Escapes feel like you're genuinely along for the ride with three mates having the time of their lives.
Jamie
Meet Jamie - the quiet observer of the trio, but don't mistake his reserved nature for lack of passion. Usually found behind the camera, Jamie has a keen eye for capturing the perfect moment and an expensive taste in cars that far exceeds his current Ford Focus budget. With dreams of sporty Fords and Aston Martins dancing in his head, Jamie brings thoughtful insights and perfectly timed comments that often steal the show.
When prompted, his engaging personality shines through, proving that sometimes the best contributions come from those who choose their moments carefully. Jamie's the brother who sees everything, says just enough, and somehow always knows exactly when to chime in with the perfect observation.
