Horsepower Heritage

The wide open spaces of the American West- especially the deserts- have always held a special appeal.

Sinuhe Xavier knows this well. He's explored thousands of square miles, mostly in Land Rovers, while at the same time writing, photographing and filming the landscape and its secrets.

He's skied professionally, ridden motorcycles in South America, crossed Morocco in a 4x4, and directed many television commercials to pay the bills. But it always comes back to wanderlust and the next adventure.

In this episode, Maurice talks overlanding and other things with Sinuhe (and his son, Cooper). It's tranquilo.

Ahhh, the "Good Life". It applies to everything from cuisine to cars... and Tim Lappen is no stranger to exclusive automobiles.

He's the Fine Autos Editor at Haute Living Magazine and a lifelong enthusiast who grew up in the incredible Los Angeles car culture.  As a teenager, he managed to acquire some great cars from local dealers for just a few days, writing about them and drumming up some business in the process.

In the 1950s, General Motors culminated its industry dominance with an annual traveling exhibition know as the Motorama, showcasing the very latest trends in styling, engineering and modern conveniences. However, once they were done on the show circuit, the cars were marked for destruction.

Fortunately, many of these marvels escaped that fate, and their eventual savior was Joe Bortz.

As a kid growing up in suburban Chicago, Joe was fascinated by cars he saw in the neighborhood dealerships. He went on to become a prolific collector of many cars, but especially the Dream Cars.

Now they're being shown to the world in a new exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles entitled "General Motors' Marvelous Motorama: Dream Cars from the Joe Bortz Auto Collection".

This one's from the vault- but updated and re-recorded with new details!

The new film "FERRARI" looks at Enzo Ferrari in the middle of his life, when the company he built was only ten years old. But the story of his final days is worth a new look.

Enzo Ferrari built his machines to race and win- and they became the world's most renowned sports cars, coveted by the rich and famous.

But when he lost full control of his company in 1969, the cars slowly began to lose their competition-bred character.  He decided to do something about it.

Near the end of his life, Enzo Ferrari ensured the creation of  the raw, uncompromising, 200 mile per hour F40- and he trusted one man to help him.

This is the story of Enzo's last stand.
