Description

Alex, Randy, and special guest Beck sit down to shoot the breeze. They talk about buying a 100k-mile German car from New York, Beck's upcoming auction of the German car it replaced, and the inevitable German car oil on Alex's garage floor. Everyone has hair-raising brake failure stories and opinions on "how much hot rod" is appropriate for driving 2,000 miles. They talk spats vs. skirts and other British crossover terms, drive slow cars on the Interstate, and give brief a review of BaT White Glove service.

The trio wrap by discussing favorite recent sales, marveling at the brand new 2k Sellers Club, and dabbling in some popular Questions of the Week about road trip stops, oil change disasters, and stick shifts
