• A Portland Recap and the 911r Interview, Part Deux

  Alex and Randy review our recent blockbuster meet-up at the Portland, Oregon facility of Matt Crandall's Avant-Garde Collection, known as BaT seller and Local Partner 911r on BaT. The move on to discuss Matt's club racing career, exciting news in upcoming vintage races, interesting cars in the 911r pipeline, the team and effort it takes to operate at the highest levels as a top BaT seller, the beauty of the Local Partner model for those with more cars to sell than time to sell them, the Nailhead-powered '32 Ford coupe of Alex's dreams, unfortunate grounds for a fire extinguisher review, vintage NASCAR for the hobby racer, and the price of (however briefly) feeling like a man.Follow along!

• An Epic Drive Through the Alps

  Alex and Randy issue quick non-sequitur opinions on the Dekon Monza and an appealingly basic Fairlane before launching into a recap of the recent Curated Cars & Coffee event in The Netherlands. They then launch into the main event: Randy's subsequent five-country journey through the Alps to  Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Lake Como in his newly acquired 356A coupe, father (and lucky birthday boy) in tow. It's all there: countless hairpins in the passes, attempts to keep up with a Gullwing, windscreen wiper rationing, a thousand miles in Speedster seats, the Goldfinger Rolls, an impressive Bentley, and a hair-raising sprint to Munich on the Autobahn to cap it all off.Follow along!
