HARRY KANE left these shores last month to try to plunder some trophies in Germany.
But the England captain remains as proud to be British as ever.
Kane, 30, left boyhood club Tottenham with one year remaining on his contract, feeling the need for a new challenge abroad.
In his car collection, however, he'll be bringing a bit of Blighty to Munich – even if he won't be allowed to drive all of them to training.
Bayern have had a lucrative sponsorship deal with German manufacturer Audi dating back to 2002.
Players and staff even receive a plush Audi model of their choice upon joining.

Kane plumped for a practical £58k black Q8 e-tron upon joining from Spurs last month.
He will be expected to drive it to training at Sabener Strasse and matches at Allianz Arena.
Failure to do so could land him in hot water – just ask Kingsley Coman.
The French winger got himself in trouble back in 2020 for driving his £174k McLaren into training – and wasn't even allowed into the complex, instead having to park on the street.

7He was then reportedly slapped with a hefty £43,500 fine for his misstep.
Other car brands within the Volkwagon group are deemed acceptable, however, so Kane would be okay in a Bentley, Bugatti or Porsche.
On why he chose the e-tron, he explained: "I decided on a family car. Now that I have four children, I just need the space."
He quickly took one of his own motors out for a whirl after arriving in Germany, adding: "I've already tried, but of course not with the new car."
TREATING HIMSELF
Kane does own a Bentley, which he will be allowed to whizz into training in, should he wish.
He bought a Continental GT Supersports back in 2020, and was amazed to see that then-team-mate Dele Alli had just bought the same model.
The striker said of the £212k motor at the time: "I’ve just bought a Bentley Supersports.
"I thought I’d treat myself to a sports car. I was looking at most of them really, but because I play golf I wanted something with a bit of room, nothing too low, something a bit different.
"They are only making 710 of them. I’ve gone for white with black wheels. It’s a beautiful, beautiful car. It’s my first real sports car."
He also admitted that if he's feeling frivolous after a big triumph, he may even dabble with something even fancier in future.
Kane added: "Down the line, maybe if I win a few trophies, I can treat myself to a Ferrari or a Lamborghini."
BEST OF BRITISH
As Three Lions skipper, few things make Kane prouder than being British.
And in the spirit of this, he owns a £99k Land Rover and £35k Jaguar F-Pace.
He beamed: "Just to be associated with that British stamp is something that I’m proud of."
"I pretty much love that Jag. It’s not too big, not too small, it fits our little daughter and the dogs.
"It’s a family car with a sporty edge. It’s not like you’re embarrassed to drive it as a dad. You’re happy to drive it. It looks nice and it’s not too expensive. It’s been great for me so far."
He went on to continue: "After a game or training, you just want to get in a nice car and chill.
“I had a Range Rover Sport before that. Loved that. I just wanted the bigger version."
COMPANY CARS
While Kane went for the comfort of the £58k Audi Q8 e-tron upon joining Bayern, many of his new team-mates opted for something more expensive.
Twelve stars selected the £120k Audi RS e-tron GT, including the likes of Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Joshua Kimmich.
Leon Goretzka also went for the £120k model, but opted for a silky purple rather than black.
On getting the hang of driving in Germany, Kane joked: "'I'll slowly get used to the fact that the steering wheel is on the other side.
"So far I haven't had a crash, that's a positive thing."

SON STILL SHINES
Kane wasn't the only Spurs player last season with a stunning car collection.
His old pal and Ange Postecoglou's new skipper Son Heung-min also has an enviable fleet.
The South Korean superstar owns an ultra-rare Ferrari LaFerrari worth an eye-watering £1,150,000 – with only 499 of them having been made.
While he also has an Audi R8 Coupe, Maserati Levante, Range Rover and Bentley Continental.
Son, 31, drove an Audi R8 during his Bundesliga days – and would have looked right at home at Sabener Strasse doing so.
While he was gifted Maserati's first ever SUV, worth £60,000.
Korea's official Maserati importer wrote in a statement that their new car: "Might be the most matching vehicle to Son, who can play with delicacy and unstoppable power."
As has become customary for Prem footballers, Son also has a £31k Range Rover that he has been seen cruising into Spurs training in.

And like his former striker partner and pal Kane, Son also has a £160k Bentley Continental GT in his collection.
The duo may not be together at Spurs anymore, but they can still surely bond over their shared love of fast cars and people carriers.
