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! Matt Adair - We talk about Matt's career in automotive, driving a Gmund coupe, Lemons Racing and King of the Hammers.
Chances are that if you're in the Seattle car community you know Matt Adair, but you may not know his story! Matt is a regular at events and the track. He's worked with cars all his life; be that selling them, writing about them or wrenching on them for endurance racing. He got involved with off road racing and was an early contributor to an event many call the "Burning Man" for Off Road Racing.
I sat down with Matt at Dobson Stuttgart (Check out my episode with Dominic Dobson) to talk about all of this as well as a lot more!
My thanks go out to Matt for his time!
With the majority of songs on the podcast, I work with the guest to select one of their favorite artists.
Song: I am a highway - Audioslave!
