40+ EPISODES IN!  THANK YOU all for sticking with me and spreading the word.  More importantly, thank you for taking interests in the guests I seek and all of the feedback that comes with.  This is a great session to celebrate my mini-milestone!

Many people reached out asking if I knew Adam at Brooklyn Auto but like most, I was an avid follower.  It was via my account '@BMWindividuell' that we made contact.  I took a special interest in the fact that Adam took a special interest in finding BMW Individual vehicles just for inventory.  Amidst the colorful BMW's however stood many a legendary sports cars of all types.  All of the cars are always in tip top shape whether economy or exotic.  There are different paths to take when creating a specialty car dealership and this comes down to what you want to deal with on a day to day with the consideration of self-interests.  It's your thing, do you what you want.  With that, the more of a focus on modern machinery honing rare characteristics makes this a unique place indeed.  Being smackdab in Brooklyn just adds to the coolness factor.  Everyone- enjoy.

Long overdue comes episode 39, welcome all.  Back in January I took a few days to myself and went to Miami to record some juicy content.  I had the pleasure of recording with two, Miami based 'special car segment' automotive dealerships.  This was a unique experience understanding the business practices and contrasts between them.  I take much solace in learning through this journey of the Motor Culture show.

With that, as the sun turned to the second part of the day I showed up to Auto Source Group Miami (ASG) where my buddy Esteban was waiting for me with his new-to-him E36 M3, a real treat.  Opening up the shop's office and bay doors my eyes were wide with excitement.  Without spoiling the details of our conversation - two of my takeaway vehicles had to be the Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo (E34-EU) & the 911 GT2 Club Sport (996-EU).  As to be a sampling, these are the type of special cars ASG seeks to please their very enthusiastic clients.  A few minutes later, the owner Giancarlo showed up and provided me with further insight to stock and general information.  It was a pleasure talking to both Esteban and Giancarlo, they're all about the chill - all about the laid back- and all about the cars.  Thanks for your time gentlemen, and as for the rest of you; sit back and enjoy.

Peeps, welcome to session 38 with Porsche Paint-to-Sample expert, Will Lee or as you may know him - @PTSRS.  Foremost I just want to say - I walked into this as a fanboy & walked out a very enlightened fanboy.  Will started @PTSRS with passion for special colors and specifications but also as a form of education for himself, and the viewing world.  Dually carrying a strong passion for Porsche which is shared by millions across the globe, the popularity and support of the account skyrocketed.  Now with hundreds of thousands of fans, and probably the biggest image directory of Porsche paint-to-sample vehicles and information, the plan was deemed a success.  Most recently Will collaborated with Porsche on an April Fool's joke where supposedly a new paint effect was introduced by the PTS department; Patina (lmao).  For something like this to have happened requires a shit load of time, motivation, research, and what I consider to be the most important; passion.  @PTSRS has inspired many a readers as to their own dreamy orientations of their favorite cars.  This is such an interesting episode, sit back & listen closely.  Cheers friends.

Fanatics, enthusiasts - I welcome you to 35 featuring my homie Tyler Chavis, owner and founder of Chavis Performance & Engineering.  Tyler's shop specializes in swapping the legendary Chevrolet "Luxury Sport" powerplant into a legendary German bloodline of cars - Porsche.  While they are open to taking any model or shape of Porsche, it's easy to say 911 customers are the most frequent.  We go over several of their builds ranging from LS3 to LS7 and the momentum behind each one with a dash of engineering information.  If you haven't already, give episode #022 a listen as it features another pal and owner of a CPE 997-4S!  Lastly, I've known Tyler for a long time through the BMW community and it's an absolute delight to see the course of direction his V8 powered life has gone.  Enjoy the show.

Welcome to 34 featuring the great Andrew Bishay.  A bay area (Florida) enthusiast of massive automotive proportions.  So, let me explain that last sentence; he has a facility equipped with all sorts of tooling, parts, memorabilia & all sorts of sick cars.  Weapons of the street and the track from Munich & Stuttgart.  It was a lovely fucking vibe having the recording equipment & hookah  setup right in the middle of the mayhem.  Once the coals were lit, we get into Andrew's obsession and go down the list of cars.  He's spent a plethora of hours honing his skills at Sebring International Raceway & knows a thing or two about pushing it to the fucking maximum.  With access to some amazing platforms such as the 930, 993, 997, E30, E36, E46 & beyond gives him a wide spread understanding of vehicle control.  We were also joined by Andrew's cousin, Jack whom rolled up to the party in a clean Imola Red E46 M3.  A great night, and even better chat.  Join us, and be sure to checkout some images from this night on my instagram feed (@MRM5MAN).  Cheers!

Welcome to a new sub-series of the show, aptly titled Conversation Street in ode to Clarkson, Hammond & May.  In this series, my brotha Sanjay Tohan and I discuss automotive current event stuff.  See, for years we've done this but recently occured to us that these discussions should be recorded.  Rather than an open form convo we devise a list of noteworthy vehicular topics and chat away.  We tend to keep up with vehicle R&D, production, spy shit etc.., leading all the way up to the release so now we share these conversations with you homies.

This discussion features the Porsche's 992 GT3, McLaren Artura, RAM TRX, Ford Raptor R with some other honorable mentions.  Thanks for joining us!

Homies, welcome to episode 33 of the show.  This episode features a very avid automotive enthusiast, music producer and man of many talents, my friend Mitch.  He's based in the Big Apple and currently sweeps the city in either a Giulia Quadrifoglio, a blown E92 M3 club sport style setup, or a 1/1 BMW Individual Neptune Blue / Fox Red E90 M3.  As a few previous episodes highlight, I'm a big fan of suburban area based afcionados, so this was a dually interesting session.  We go over Mitch's effective & clean machines, along with his  obsession of the music game.  In the big city while time is money, patience is also a key element which is why mad miles is apart of Mitch's weely regiment.  Ladies & gents, its the wee hours of Sunday April 4, and I thank you for joining.
