Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by Dr Ulrich Eichhorn, a contributor to The Intercooler's digital car magazine and a heavy-hitter in automotive engineering circles. Dr Eichhorn was instrumental in the development of the game-changing Ford Focus, after which he was poached by Dr Ferdinand Piëch at the Volkswagen Group. There he led the development of a W12-powered supercar that inspired the Bugatti Veyron before joining Bentley to become its chief engineer. During a long stint in Crewe he oversaw the development of a number of new models that underpinned Bentley's astonishing transformation. Later he became the most senior engineer in the entire Volkswagen Group.
This is the fascinating story of one of the most decorated careers in modern automotive engineering, told by the man himself.

How to spend £5000 on a fun car #209

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by Wheelers Dealer frontman Mike Brewer. The car trader turned television presenter created the show more than 20 years ago, and since then it's become the world's biggest and longest running car TV show. On Wheeler Dealers, Mike and his master mechanic buy a desirable old car in need of restoration and rebuild it from top to bottom to try and turn a profit. Across almost 300 episodes, Mike has bought and sold classics, hatchbacks, sports cars, supercars, luxury cars and more, and now he's taking Wheeler Dealers around the world.
In this episode he explains why the show is so popular, as well as talking about his past as a car dealer. He also reveals which cars he has at home, including his collection of old Porsches.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the future of Aston Martin. Andrew spent a few hours with owner and chairman Lawrence Stroll last week, and the Canadian billionaire was keen to paint a picture of a car maker poised to burst into the light – and profitability, at long last. There is much to be optimistic about, but how realistic are Stroll's claims that Aston's darkest days are in its past? Dan and Andrew also talk about the Ferrari 296 GTB and McLaren 750S, the finest supercars on sale today for £250,000.

Lunch with Aston Martin's Lawrence Stroll, plus the world's best supercar #207

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the long history of Formula 1 scandals and conflicts from the 1960s to the present day. Be it bad tempered disputes with the FIA, teams threatening to quit and start a breakaway series, downright cheating, engineers exploiting loopholes in the regulations or drivers going on strike, F1 has been in near constant conflict with its stakeholders, and itself. These are the most extraordinary examples of money, power and influence doing their best to tear Formula 1 apart at the seams.
