Alex and Randy sit down to catch up and talk about a notable Success Story, the best roll bar this side of Durango, and an upcoming epic road trip for Alex and his son before a recap of Randy's recent trip to the UK for a special Grand Prixscreening, the NEC Classic Motor Show in Birmingham, and hot laps at Goodwood.
The duo move on to Reliant Scimitars; early-'80s badge engineering; reliving family road trips to Texas that may or may not have actually occurred; sage car-buying advice that every one of us has ignored; the day's accidental automotive show-and-tell; perhaps the perfect combination of family heritage and first stick shift; and a brief but telling insight into why BaT is the way BaT is. close out by looking at their recent watchlists and Alex relates a secondhand anecdote that epitomizes Randy's ideal life.
