Neolithic Gixxers, German Power Metal, the 1000hp Sunbeam, Cale Yarborough, Jaguar Mk2s & a Screaming BMW M2

Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.

Jon shares personal anecdotes, including a humorous story about visa delays affecting his wife’s expenses and thrilling tales involving motorbikes. Jon & Mark discuss the evolution of automotive conferences, emphasizing the balance between virtual and physical events. The conversation touches upon heavy electric cars, the Jaguar Mark II’s performance, and issues with modern vehicles like Mark's BMW. They also explore the intersection of electric bikes and scooters with current traffic laws and technology trends, and conclude with reflections on automotive history, including tributes to racing legends like Cale Yarborough and historic vehicles.
