It's me, Mark Stone and in this episode, I talk to Joel Mutton, a car collector with a unique perspective. Despite owning 35 cars, Joel insists he "doesn't collect cars."

I'll speak with Joel about his diverse collection of cars and what sets him apart from traditional car collectors. He'll share his philosophy on car collecting and how it differs from the typical approach.

Joel will also be discussing his favourite cars from his collection and the stories behind them. He'll delve into acquiring and maintaining his cars and the joys and challenges of owning such a diverse group of vehicles.
