Touring in a vintage car is something special, and touring in a rare Mercedes Benz W.06 is magical.

The W.06 was built from 1927 to 1933 and at one time was the fastest production car in the world, with a now legendary competition history.

In this episode, we take you on along on tour with a group of these cars blasting down the twisty roads of California's Wine Country.

Imagine having the garage of your dreams in a community of like-minded enthusiasts.
That's the basic idea that inspired Scott Cunningham to build The Hangar.

It's more than just a place to store collector cars, motorcycles and other treasures.
The Hangar is a club concept property that encourages a social atmosphere and friendship among its owners. 

Scott is a South Florida real estate developer and former motorcycle racer who has built two Hangar locations, with plans for expansion to other states. His story is about vision,  hard work, and a passion for high-performance machines.

In Northern Indiana, a team of happy folks build single cylinder machines that combine vintage appeal with modern technology.

Richard Worsham is the man behind Janus Motorcycles, and his philosophy is all about the fun and freedom of riding an easy, unfussy bike.

He founded the company straight out of college- the first was a 50cc model. Janus now makes a 250 and a 450, each with styling cues and riding position reminiscent of motorcycles of the Teens and Twenties.

Local suppliers and craftsmen are important to their success, as is a sturdy and proven engine design. If you've ever lusted after a vintage bike but don't want the hassle of taking care of an old machine, this might be your ticket to ride.

We're celebrating the Third Anniversary of Horsepower Heritage. Thanks for being a great audience. Please donate to the podcast at the link below and make sure you’re following the show on your favorite podcast app.

In 1949, a determined pair of Englishmen took on the whole of Grand Prix racing with their new little cars, and they were the first British Formula team to make the scene at the dawn of a new era.

John Heath and George Abecassis built precious few machines, and their efforts are largely unknown today... but the story of their HWM racing team is a fascinating and often surprising one.

Simon Taylor enjoyed a long and successful career in publishing and motorsport broadcasting. His two-volume book "John, George and the HWMS" is the definitive work on this subject.

Guy Jenner is the CEO of HWM Aston-Martin Limited, the world's oldest Aston Martin dealer. His career has allowed him to trade in (and enjoy) some of the most sporting automobiles ever built.

There are many ways to carve a career out of your automotive passions, but Dan Kahn saw new possibilities when the world began to make digital communication the norm.

Dan worked the parts counter at a speed shop, built his own classic Mustang, and became a rookie writer for numerous car magazines. 

Along the way, he saw huge opportunities to communicate with like-minded people and represent many players in the industry. He founded Kahn Media at a time when e-commerce and social media were just peeking over the horizon.

Today, Kahn Media handles some of the biggest OEM, aftermarket and luxury lifestyle brands, reaching millions of people each year and helping to shape car culture and more. But Dan will always be "a hardcore car guy"- and he's still driven by the same excitement we all have for our machines.

The art and science of auto restoration has never been in higher demand, but there's a shortage of shops  and skilled tradespeople to meet the need in the marketplace.
