  • Hooray, you’re back!

    Missed you guys during your break, but loving the new format. It feels like the show has had a real “glow up” and it’s great! What a bloody brilliant selection of guests for the new series, I am excited to hear them all. But the “hosts” episodes with John, Miles and Amy chatting and laughing away are always my favourite. Keep up the good work.

Driving Heroes - Lloyd Hackett and Karl Hill
Q: What constitutes a Driving Hero in your stock criteria?
A Driving Hero is something that is either truly interesting or genuinely fun to drive, and ideally both. We avoid stuff that doesn't resonate with enthusiasts, preferring cars that we would personally want in our own garage and can stand behind long-term.
