  • Look forward to it each week.

    Really enjoy the show, it helps make an occasional drive into the office go by much faster. Sometimes I wish it was live or even video with some of the photo and other discussions. But it’s one of the few audio podcasts I come back to episode after episode.

  • One of the best

    I have a three car podcasts on rotation. This, Chris Harris & Friends and Spike’s car radio. This podcast blends both on road and off road car chat together. Great for us general enthusiasts who enjoy both side of the hobby.

    Nick and Dan are awesome guys and it’s fun keeping up with their stories and range of guests! I laugh and learn something every episode, and even if you’re not a ‘car person’ this needs to be in your weekly podcast rotation.
