Which Mercedes Benz SL Is The Best? w.Sam Bailey | SL Shop

I popped in to see Sam Bailey, founder of The SL Shop. The SL Shop is a specialist focusing on the Mercedes SL doing everything from sales, restorations through to their own restomods. Sam is a serious car fanatic, we don't just discuss Mercedes and the business (although we cover most things you need to know about the various SLs). We also discuss his racing in Caterhams, a selection of the driver's cars he owns (lots of goodies in here) and the fact both of us have chosen an E63s wagon as our daily!

Plenty for everyone so have a listen.

Tuning And Selling Porsches w. Ollie Preston | RPM Technik

OIllie Preston, Technical Director of RPM Technik joins me to talk about his journey and all things Porsche. We have a dig into what it was like building a business from a single ramp all the way through to the multi building setup it is today. We don't just cover what RPM do (although they do ALOT, they will even put back seats in your GT3) but we also cover aftermarket tuning and restomods such as Singer and RUF. There is so much 911 chat in here it's possibly too much (is that possible tho...).
