Enjoy the wonderful lads from @throttlehouse, James and Thomas.  Stay tuned for a new ep every other Wednesday!

On this episode,  I have Benjamin Hunting as my guest.Benjamin is an automotive journalist, and an very impressive one at that. From the pages of Super Street to some of the most detailed pieces of work you’ll read in hagerty classic car, accomplished is an understatement. In conjunction with all of his writing, he is also the co-host of his own weekly podcast with Sami Hag Assad, called The Unnamed Automotive podcast…..and if you have’t listened to it, you should.

In this episode I speak with well known Canadian Drifter, fellow ginger, and extremely nice guy, Riley Sexsmith. He and I discuss how his deep love for automotive began,  life as a pro drifter in Canada, how the pro vs grassroots drift scene shapes up, and what he has in store for 2020.

In this episode I speak to someone I have come to think of as a modern magician…. Sasha Anis is the mastermind behind both mountain pass performance, and on point dyno. I spoke to him nearly two years ago right when he launched MountainPass, an EV oriented performance company  with a deep rooted history in motorsport.You’ll hear stories of Sasha’s exploits in racing with his lightning fast Model 3, his groundbreaking build of a hybrid race car and its mission to set Mosport lap records, and how he sees the electrified future of automotive shaping up.

I'm bringing you an episode I recorded back in late summer of 2019, with a group of amazing individuals from a company named LBI Limited.  These guys are really the shining example of what most of us car nuts have always wanted to do, but never did..... and Adolfo and Keith from LBI are the ones that for over a decade, have been hunting down and selling some of the most incredible vehicles in north america. I was lucky enough to have sat down at their stunning facility in Pontiac Michigan to have this chat, and as you'll hear, it was during a party they were throwing for none other than, Radwood Detroit.  The place was buzzing with car nerdery and particularity of the 80's and 90's vintage era.... it was epic in many ways.

It’s episode 63, and long time friend Laurance Yap is back on the show. He’s here this time to share a glimpse into the fascinating world of current day IMSA racing.  If you don’t know what IMSa stands for, listen in to the first moments of the show and you’ll have your answer. I'’m really lucky to have someone like Laurance continue to share some of his experiences with us all. The education continues in this episode.

In this episode I speak with Brendan Fallis. You can find him everywhere on Instagram and Youtube, but if you’re lucky enough, you’ll find him where he’s most at home, behind a mixer and turntables.He's a man of many passions, and has made his way into the automotive world in NY over the last few years. His design taste is resoundingly apparent in all facets of his business, ranging from fashion and spirits, to architecture and automotive - a fascinating man in so many respects.

In this episode I speak with the one and only, Christopher Pagani. If you don’t already recognize his name, this show should give a pretty well rounded understanding of what his business is, what they do, and just how special the things they make, are.
