Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.

In this episode, Jon Summers, The Motoring Historian, and his co-host (and best friend) Mark Gammie, reconvene after a six-month break to review the year 2024 in the realm of automobiles and motorbikes. The episode includes discussions about recent experiences, including tales of resurrecting a Honda CBR race bike, and the impact of technology on motoring. They also cover the effects of average speed checks, the role of electric vehicles in 2025, and delve into personal anecdotes involving various cars such as the BMW M2, Nissan 350Z, and the Fiesta ST. Additionally, they share insights on potential issues with ethanol fuel and provide some future motoring tips, particularly in relation to electric vehicles and classic car maintenance.
