VintagEuro

Take a virtual tour of Italy with Bryan and Myles as they talk with custom tour operator Rem Malloy of Italy4Real.com. For more than two decades, Rem has created bespoke travel packages to Europe, but Italy is his first love.

He shares his tips on what to see (and skip) in the Motoring Valley, how not to kill yourself on a rented Vespa, and how to avoid getting several hundred dollars worth of mystery traffic tickets in the mail after you return home.

Bryan and Myles are joined by Jamie Orr of Orchid Euro. An intrepid world traveler, Jamie turned his wanderlust into a business, bringing in parts and cars from Europe for his personal project. That business now includes importing cars for customers, and he sits down with the guys to demystify the entire process.

Coming off the Labor Day weekend, Bryan and Myles take a break from hosting guests to catch up as well as discuss future plans for VintagEuro.

In early October, Bryan will host the first-ever VintagEuro United event, a casual cars-n-coffee event in suburban Philadelphia. The guys also get philosophical about the meaning of a magazine in a modern context.

Bryan and Myles talk to Jason Jackman, former technical editor at EuroTuner magazine, about the magazine's influence on young car enthusiasts and the tuner market in the early 2000s.

Bryan and Myles chat about cool project builds with James White of SoCal-based Old Parts, New Starts. He talks about the Saab 96 he recently finished as well as a Triumph TR6 he's finishing, plus tales of a cross-country drive in a Lotus Eclat.

Bryan and James inevitably turn to talking about interiors, especially plaid cloth as a preferred seating material.

After weeks of messing around with mics, talking friends and colleagues into appearing, then recording, editing and uploading their first batch of episodes, the guys go one-on-one for a session, reflecting on their first few guests and speculating on who's up next.

Bryan and Myles enjoy a conversation with Greg Brown, former editor in chief of european car and automotive titles in the golden era of car enthusiast magazines.

Later in the show, the guys talk about the boom and bust of 1980s grey-market imports and how they changed the way European carmakers in particular viewed the American market and laid the groundwork for today's more performance-oriented offerings.

Bryan and Myles talk to the founder of the automotive lifestyle site TheGentlemanRacer.com and discuss the inaugural Groesbeck Grand Prix, one of the few motoring events that may actually take place this year.

In the second segment, the guys all talk about the perceptions and realities of being a so-called 'car guy' - the good, the bad, and the ugly leather letterman jackets.

Bryan and Myles sit down with their long-time friend and founder of VWvortex to discuss the early days of internet car culture, building one of the biggest online communities by accident, and how the landscape has changed for digital publishers.

In the second half, all three guys talk about their love of hot hatches, particularly the VW Golf GTI, and how they all got their starts (more or less) behind the wheel of the ubiquitous Westmoreland Rabbit.

Bryan and Myles connect with the busiest professional automotive enthusiast in the business, Jamie Kitman. Formerly a columnist with Automobile magazine, he's now moved on to other projects including Octane Film Cars, his company that supplies cars to film productions.

In the second segment he'll weigh in on the choice of European cars as tools for character development in five of John Hughes' most iconic '80s teen movies.
