About this episode
The episode discusses the future of car re-imagination and reviews specific models while addressing various listener questions.
When will we run out of cars to re-imagine, restomod, or (dare we say), replicate? Is there a market for the 355 by Evoluto, or the Boreham Ford Escort Mk1? Some say yes. We get review both of these incredible cars and it brings us to larger questions: Are they better? Worth the money? What do you get? We drove both and get into it the good/bad and what they mean for "nostalgia builds" in general. Patreon questions include: Would BMW M buyers prefer an Alpina? Track days: what does "advanced" mean? Why does every hate my black ice air freshener? Cars we forgot still exist How to price a driving experience Should I Lemons race my old Alfa? The worst car we'd buy each other And more!
