In this Part 2 episode Rob Shanahan gives us a peek behind the scenes at the restoration of the Alfa Romeo Grand prix race cars, BAT number 5, TZ race cars, and other challenges he faced as head of restorations at Symbolic Motors in the 1980s and 90s in San Diego. Rob also lets us know what it’s like to judge at Pebble Beach and sometimes what happens when you choose the wrong shipper and what can happen afterwards. Rob also lets us in on his current and future projects. I hope you enjoy this look at restoring old Alfas and showing them at Pebble.

Today’s guest brings a unique blend of software engineering, oceanographic research, and Italian car passion to the show. She grew up on a working farm outside Bartlesville, Oklahoma—where practical mechanics and off-road driving were just part of daily life. She’s a lifelong enthusiast who bridges the worlds of engineering, performance driving, and hands-on mechanical intuition—and we’re excited to dig into her journey.

This episode has news about Stellantis, the “new” Stelvio and upcoming events locally and the Hagerty Driver’s Club Days across the US. 

Today’s guest grew up in the Pacific Northwest and caught the car bug early—thanks to his older brother’s stash of Hot Wheels and car magazines. After a long run in the printing world, he shifted gears and landed at Microsoft’s Turn 10 Studios, helping bring amazing cars into the Forza Motorsport games. These days, he curates a private car collection, runs driving tours, and serves as president of the local Alfa Romeo club. He’s traveled all over the U.S. and Europe chasing great roads, cool cars, and good stories—and his passion is still going full throttle.
