What happens when two brits sit down over a cup of tea and some digestive biscuits to talk cars?  Well .... I spent over two hours talking cars with Peter Gleeson.  Peter is a well known (and loved)  Seattle car collector.  His collection mainly focuses on BMW Motorsport - the best road car and race car but to me it's a lot more than that!This is part one of a two-part episode and we talk about the significance of motorsport for BMW in the 70s, where his love for cars came from and some of the pearls in his fantastic collection.There are a number of cars in his collection BMW would love to own!I feel very lucky to know Peter and am so grateful for his time, enjoy!   Song: What's going on Marvin GayeBMW Charity: Street Survival – BMW Car Club of America Foundation (bmwccafoundation.org)Tour of Peter's collection I filmed with The Petersen Automotive Musuem:  WE DISCOVERED BMW HEAVEN | BMW CAR COLLECTION - YouTube Support the showClick for all the links: For enquiries: [email protected]

Imagine what it would be like to work in Formula One!  Imagine being part of a team of super smart people, all with the same goal - to get two cars around a track quicker than your competitors.  Imagine doing that consistently for two seasons and winning the highest accolade in motorsport - The  Formula One World Championship! Join me as I catch up with my good friend Graeme Hackland who is the first to admit he's not a car guy.  There is always an exception to the rule and Graeme is quite possibly the only non-car guy I will have on my show.  If Taylor Swift or Kylie agree then I may change my mind. This episode was so insightful, and I really enjoyed the conversation.  We talked about teamwork, what it meant to be part of something very special in the mid 2000s, way before Netflix!  Graeme talks fondly about some of the drivers he had the chance to work with and what made one, who is still racing so great!  Graeme also talks about how non glamours the sport is for those doing the hard work. This was a great catch up which I hope you enjoy too! My thanks to Graeme for taking the time out of a very busy schedule to catch up with me!

We also talk about fate, chance meetings and how donuts go a long way to securing a job with Ken Block's (RIP) organisation.  Both Daniel and Patrick are car guys and that really shines through in the episode.   So, grab a seat, get comfortable, and immerse yourself in this captivating conversation. It's a must-listen for any member of our car tribe!My thanks go out to the gents for their time.Song: Talkin' bout a revolution - Tracy ChapmanThe Petersen Automotive Website: Petersen Automotive Museum | Los Angeles Car Museum The Petersen Automotive Podcast: Carstories by The Petersen Automotive Museum on Apple Podcasts Support the showClick for all the links: For enquiries: [email protected]

Join me as I catch up with Simon Hall from the UK, this episode is both geeky and eclectic.   Simon was a college friend who I lost contact with over 20 years ago.  The magic of social media and in particular Facebook meant I would get the odd update on his car life. There was a lot of uncover in your conversations, classic cars, an aspiration to own a Jaguar (Jagwire) before he was 30 and doing some strange things with a car usual reserved for burying the dead.One film from Simon's childhood led him on a journey to import the hero car from the film.  He then had to restore the car which nearly killed him, literally.If you're interested in MGBs, Jaguars, Pontiac and Hybrid BMWs then this episode has all of the above! So, grab a seat, get comfortable, and immerse yourself in this captivating conversation. It's a must-listen for any member of our car tribe!My thanks go out to Simon for the conversation!Song: Jerry Reed - East Bound and DownYouTube reference video: The Cannonball Run Countach: Supercar Legend | Full Documentary - YouTubeClick for all the links: For enquiries: [email protected] the showClick for all the links: For enquiries: [email protected]
