Iain Tyrrell can Fix Anything
Iain is the founder and director of Cheshire Classic Cars, which restores and sells rare metal from, Bentleys to Ferraris, rally special to open-wheeled race cars. His YouTube channel, Tyrrell's Classic Workshop, frequently features the cars of Harry Metcalfe, who entrusts his Lamborghinis to Tyrrell. That's quite an endorsement. On this episode Iain tells us about opening his shop in his early 20s; undercharging for Ferrari work; how 3D printing has changed his profession; parts that are impossible to source; what people get wrong when they fix or restore a car; why he loves the Espada and the Lagonda; BMW's gem; colors he wants to see more of; and a lot more. https://www.cheshireclassiccars.co.uk/restoration-projects/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2pQT90JBqbMHSVLtbJBvyw Recorded February 19, 2023 Want your question answered?

Alpina's CEO on the Past, Present, and Future of Fast BMWs
Andreas Bovensiepen is the CEO of Alpina, the famous company that takes BMWs and turns them into some of the fastest and most exclusive sleepers available. Alpina Automobiles was founded in 1965 by Andreas' father, Burkard Bovensiepen. That company started out in typewriters before moving into textiles and ultimately, building fast cars. We know which we prefer. We ask about how the company started; about his experience working for BMW before going to Alpina; attempting to put a V12 in a Z8; why putting an automatic in a car was a good idea; why racing is important; the reason for reasoning behind those famous 20-spoke wheels; why he bought an NSX; and what he thinks of BMW's new grills.Recorded February 10, 2023 It’s time to bring your wallet into the 21st century.

Podcasting at the Coliseum; 911 Dakar Deep-Dive
Podcast at a race track! We are sitting up above the incredible temporary NASCAR track inside the LA Coliseum. 11 months out of the year this is a grass-covered football field but right now it is a tarmac short track with concrete walls, catch fences, and even rumble strips.

Then we do a deep dive on the 911 Dakar; why it's great but most people shouldn't buy it; how country club tracks solve a problem but can create a new one; the best sporty car for arthritis; the best sound-deprivation chamber for $15k; the "end of police stops"; and more.
