Peter is with Tom the Roving Reporter and Security and discuss the aftermath of Bathurst.  The boys talk about all the behind the scenes in the garages of the recent Bathurst 6 Hour Race and all the shenanigans including how Security got his van on the track after the race and did a whole lap of Bathurst. We look at the benefits of owning a pre 2017 used Tesla and try to work out why insurance on a Tesla is soooooo expensive.  Is Peter snoring louder than a race car around Bathurst?

Friend and listener to the show George Alexakis recently travelled to South Australia with Tom the Roving Reporter to purchase a car.  They could not afford a classic Ford Mustang Fastback or a Holden Monaro so they bought a 1990 W126 Mercedes 300SE instead. We look at the negotiating process, we discuss the pros and cons of buying from a dealer compared to buying privately.  We look at the difference of driving back versus using car carriers to return the newly purchased car.

Shout out to Classic Motor Studio cmstudio.com.au for assisting George and Tom.
