Jon Summers is The Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing, technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. Hailing from California, he collects cars and bikes built with plenty of cheap and fast, and not much reliable. On his show, he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, and motoring travel.

The conversation begins with Jon and his old friend, Mark, discussing show dynamics, the Tristram Shandy style, and the blurred nature of historical facts. They talk about personal anecdotes including fines at the airport, breakdowns while riding motorbikes, and experiences involving racing sponsors such as Boothy. The discussion also touches on various vehicles Jon has acquired or ridden, like a Yamaha Zuma, and concludes with musings on avant-garde collecting and thoughts on corporate influence in the classic car world. The segment is rich with detailed stories, car movie references, and reflections on the broader culture of motoring.
