John Bothwell is a cool guy with a really interesting job. John is the commercial director for Pur Sang US. If Pur Sang sounds familiar, you're either a fan of pre-war grand prix cars or you've seen one of Jay Leno's videos on the brand. If it doesn't sound familiar then Pur Sang is a company in Argentina that hand builds exact replicas of French, Italian and German grand prix cars. John came by the podcast to talk about Pur Sang and also his family's incredible history with cars. John is a great guy and we were super glad to have him on CarStories!

 Joe Scarbo | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:46:52

Joe Scarbo is a hugely talented engineer with a passion for racing of all kinds and, as it turns out, that includes radio controlled racing. He also managed to build easily one of the coolest cars of the last ten years with his Scarbo Performance SVF1, a tribute to the 1967 Ferrari 312 F1 racer. While the looks are almost spot on, there are a few mechanical details that make us want Joe's car even more than we'd want the original!

Alex Earle is an automotive and motorcycle designer who is perhaps best known for his work with Earle Motors making custom flat-track inspired Ducati Monsters.

 Grant Delgatty and Sven Etzelsberger | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:30:56

Cars were supposed to simplify our lives. They were intended to make Earth smaller, and travel more brief and efficient. And they did, for a time. Now, most cities have some level of gridlock, its corresponding pollution and frustration, and driving has devolved into commuting. Yet many people are still reticent to embrace public transit in all but a few North American cities.

 Ernie Salazar | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 0:19:36

It’s always a question of perspective. Ernie Salazar was always a car guy, and always favored muscle. As young teenager, he lusted after a ’72 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that a mechanic down the street owned. When he turned 16, he struck a deal with the mechanic who owned it. He worked, running parts and changing oil at the mechanic’s shop, in exchange for the Mach 1.
