What happens when two brits sit down over a cup of tea and some digestive biscuits to talk cars? Well .... I spent over two hours talking cars with Peter Gleeson. Peter is a well known (and loved) Seattle car collector. His collection mainly focuses on BMW Motorsport - the best road car and race car but to me it's a lot more than that!
This is part one of a two-part episode and we talk about the significance of motorsport for BMW in the 70s, where his love for cars came from and some of the pearls in his fantastic collection.
There are a number of cars in his collection BMW would love to own!
I feel very lucky to know Peter and am so grateful for his time, enjoy!

Danny P on Cars! - Working in F1, Winning World Championships with Renault and the Exception to the Rule!
Imagine what it would be like to work in Formula One! Imagine being part of a team of super smart people, all with the same goal - to get two cars around a track quicker than your competitors. Imagine doing that consistently for two seasons and winning the highest accolade in motorsport - The Formula One World Championship !
Join me as I catch up with my good friend Graeme Hackland who is the first to admit he's not a car guy. There is always an exception to the rule and Graeme is quite possibly the only non-car guy I will have on my show. If Taylor Swift or Kylie agree then I may change my mind.
This episode was so insightful, and I really enjoyed the conversation. We talked about teamwork, what it meant to be part of something very special in the mid 2000s, way before Netflix! Graeme talks fondly about some of the drivers he had the chance to work with and what made one, who is still racing so great! Graeme also talks about how non glamours the sport is for those doing the hard work.
This was a great catch up which I hope you enjoy too!
My thanks to Graeme for taking the time out of a very busy schedule to catch up with me!
