Ever wondered what it takes to bring rusted classics back to life? Meet James, who's broadcasting from his barn surrounded by restoration projects in various states of resurrection.

From his first car—a '77 Chevy Caprice Classic land yacht—to an '85 Oldsmobile Toronado Caliente with doors so big you couldn't park it, James fell hard for a '76 Triumph Spitfire that changed everything. Bought for $1,000 with no brakes, that Kermit-green roadster planted the seed for a lifelong passion.

Now running McRae Enterprises, James specializes in European sports cars and American classics from the '40s-'80s. In this episode, he shares:

• Rally racing a Triumph through Baltimore's back roads
• Why barn finds are both thrilling and terrifying
• The vintage car community's remarkable trust and generosity
• His dream '99 Porsche 996 (barely driven because he's too busy!)
• A '62 Volvo that lived above the Arctic Circle

This is automotive passion at its purest—no TV drama, just real restoration work, hard-earned wisdom, and the freedom of driving cars that matter.
