Randy and Alex bring on special guest and podcast newcomer Robbie Pyle, the Curation Manager for BaT (if you've never met Robbie, you must not hang out at California car events enough). They reminisce about the first local rallies and driving events that really got them hooked and enmeshed with the car community, and talk about how important it is to get out and use an old car with people who share your love of them. They discuss a number of California driving events both accessible and rarified, and close by deciding on their ideal fantasy entries for the Mille Miglia or Cal Mille, reliving a gorgeous downpour in Sonoma, and fondly remembering parking the very first BaT "company car" around San Francisco.
