This week's episode brings together car market analysis and motorcycle racing excitement. The hosts debate whether recent Mecum auction results showing sky-high prices for 90s/2000s supercars represent genuine market shifts or potential manipulation schemes. Jonny introduces his new BidBetter software designed to help collectors make smarter auction bids with data-driven insights.

The highlight comes when Jason Chinnock joins to discuss Ducati's 100th anniversary and their strategic entry into Supercross racing. Jason's remarkable journey from parts counter to CEO exemplifies the passion driving the iconic motorcycle brand. The conversation culminates with a detailed look at the stunning Ducati Desmo450 MX, featuring titanium exhaust, Showa front forks, and limited production with numbered engine cases.

Jerry's 907 showcases an incredible 10-year restoration journey, returning this ultra-rare race car (only a handful exist worldwide) to its original glory, complete with period-correct details like the illuminated number panel and ice box for the driver's cool suit. The car has significant racing heritage, having won the 1968 Daytona 24-hour race with Vic Elford at the wheel.

The episode also features Jerry's stunning Minerva Blue 1979 Porsche 928, featuring the unique blue Pasha interior and the iconic 4.5-liter V8 engine. Jerry's enthusiasm for the car's revolutionary design is contagious as he describes driving it as "being like a police dog attacking a foam-protected arm."

The hosts also dive into YouTube inspiration from a Volvo rescue, debate their favorite Japanese cars (with Jerry expressing surprising interest in the new Honda Accord), and share personal stories about first cars and daily carry items.

James and Spike kick off their New Year's Eve special by diving into James' upcoming Dakar trip with Tudor watches. The conversation shifts to what makes watches cool (or not), with insights about how wearing a Rolex can sometimes put people off.

James then unveils his "Cool Cars for Cool Guys in 2026" recommendations, boldly declaring that Ferraris under $100,000 are the new cool while Porsches have lost their edge due to market inflation. The guys analyze a viral video of a California mom using her G-Wagon to ram suspected burglars (Mercedes, take note for your next Super Bowl commercial).

Spike delivers a glowing review of the Bentley Bentayga Speed, praising its performance in all conditions and functional luxury. The episode concludes with listener New Year's resolutions and car dreams, including a vintage manual Jaguar story from Netflix's "Unfrosted" set.
