Simon Wilson has embarked on a mammoth journey from Liverpool to Madrid… in a 40 car

Thousands of Liverpool fans have descended on the capital of Spain, and YouTube sensation, Simon Wilson, will be among that crowd.Wilson is best known for sneaking into high-profile events including Floyd Mayweather Jr vs Conor McGregor boxing match, as well as the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year.And his latest challenge has seen him combine his two passions – Liverpool FC and vlogging – as he races to Madrid.Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Simon said: “I’ll be uploading a couple of videos, but the reason I’m doing this is not just for YouTube.“I was lucky enough to get a ticket in the ballet through my season ticket, but because the ballot wasn’t announced until recently I didn’t want to book transport.Simon Wilson3

Wilson’s brother, Ben, bought the Skoda Favorit GLXI on Facebook

“When I looked online, the transport was so expensive it was ridiculous, the flights were around 800.”Simon wasn’t going to let the opportunity of potentially seeing his childhood team win a major trophy pass him by though, so sounded out his brother in a bid to sort an alternative method of transport.He said: “I rang up my brother, Ben, and asked him how much was the cheapest car we could get.”A short while later and Ben had managed to find a Skoda Favorit GLXI for sale on Facebookfor just 40.He explained: “When he told me I was like ‘just buy it now, we will worry about it afterwards’.”Simon Wilson3

YouTube sensation Wilson has been spotted by other drivers on the way

Simon and Ben would later find out this particular vehicle is one of only six still licensed to drive in the UK.With transport sorted, Simon also decided to extend an invitation to one of his subscribers, who is a Tottenham supporter, with a seat spare in his car.The trio started their mammoth journey to Madrid outside Anfieldon Wednesday, travelling down the motorway to get to the ferry port in Dover.It proved to be a frustrating start though, as despite the Sat Nav saying the journey would take five hours, due to heavy traffic and the car being slow, it took over six – meaning Simon, Ben and the subscriber missed their ferry to Calais. Luckily, they were able to hop on the next ferry a short time later to continue their journey through France.The latest update on Simon’s channel sees the guys stopping off for some kip in a side road in Bordeaux – around six hours away from Madrid.The end is in sight for the lads, but whether the banged up car can last the last stretch remains to be seen.You can watch Simon’s journey to Madrid on his YouTube channel here.
