About this episode

David Freiburger and Scotto discuss the origins of Roadkill, automotive culture, and the joys of working on old cars.

“Don’t get it right; just get it running!” - words we could all stand to live by! This week we welcome David Freiburger , colossus of the automotive world who alongside Scotto, forms a mildly senior (sorry.. ‘Authoritative’ ! ) coalition of men yelling at clouds. Though you may know him best from his adventures with Roadkill alongside Mike Finnegan, David’s roots in the car world go back to magazines, with storied career chapters spent at the wheel of multiple titles. Making the jump to video, he put in time at MotorTrend and now, his own YouTube channel. In this hugely wide-ranging conversation, the gents litigate everything from the glory days of heavy metal (Dokken anyone?), to Drag Week and countless records and tales from the drag-strip, even including hearing damage. Crucially though, could David be the guest that finally causes the blind to see and the lame to walk? By which of course I mean poor Scotto, and his unfinished projects – dear Lord, we need a miracle! As ever, enjoy. @DavidFreiburger @BrianScotto @321ActionAction Partners: FCP Euro Heat Wave Visual Wera Tools KW Suspensions Producer : Nick Rutter @nickrutterarts Editor : Julius Adorsu @adorsu.j Music…
