This week we are joined by Nathan Tregonning, the man behind the Mental Health Car Club, and in Jon's absence, we welcome a special guest host (and previous guest himself) Paul Gardner from Speed Broker.

Nathan's earliest and fondest car memory was travelling to Whitby in his Grandad's Sierra Cosworth. From memory it was a navy blue 3 door, although that was based on an aged photograph. The 1982 registration must be a mistake, perhaps it was on a personalized number plate?

Everyone locally knew that car, and although his Grandad loved it, he would often take the bus, or walk to save racking up the miles.

Sadly, ill health forced him to sell it, and nothing exciting was to fill its space.

Growing up, Nathan was very much influenced by custom and modified car culture, so only really had eyes for those vehicles on the streets. In his local area at least, not much stood out. 

If you'd like to find out more about Nathan's work encouraging car enthusiasts to speak to each other about mental health, then check him out on instagram here.
