BREAK/FIX the Motorsports & Vehicle Enthusiast Variety Show

The DeLorean Legacy Project & The Supercar made from Love!

Starting as a book and growing into a movement. Tonight’s guest seeks to accomplish the telling of the untold story of The Maverick of GM who went on to not only inspire the American Muscle car revolution, but create one of the most iconic cars of all time, the DMC-12.
Kathryn (Kat) DeLorean, yes… that DeLorean, started the DeLorean Legacy Project to help you learn all about the man himself with first-hand information that expresses the joys and trials of growing up DeLorean. Kat interviews family and friends as part of the effort, sharing stories, photos, and some of John’s more intimate moments with his family, demonstrating how much of a loving and devoted father he was. 
And we’re honored to have her here with us on Break/Fix to give us a truly behind the scenes look at DeLorean, the man, the myths and much, much, more. This is Part 1 of the DeLorean Legacy Mini-Series on Break/Fix! 
This episode is part of our ROAD TO SUCCESS SERIES - inspiring stories that help shape the future of the autosphere.

Pinstripe Chris Dunlop

Passion for vehicles comes in many different shades and colors. Custom cars, hot rods, and exotics- there's always a variety of artwork to keep things fresh and is never limited to one genre. Chris Dunlop is an automotive design and render artist based out of Southern California. He started out as an automotive painter that specialized in custom paint and high end restoration work on Classics & Exotics in Rockville, Maryland. From there he began airbrushing, doing sharpie art, and pinstriping. Soon after he was doing his artwork nearly full time, and some of you might have heard of him, he’s been dubbed "Pinstripe Chris" and he joins us tonight on Break/Fix to share his journey from Paint & Body work to full-time artist!

Fuelin’ Around with Deadly Driver’s JK Kelly

Jetting off to Monte Carlo…speeding through the tight turns of a mountain road en route to an evening at the casino…what could be more exhilarating? After racing in a grand prix, Bryce Winters boards a luxury yacht to bask in the limelight and mingle with celebrities, only to find a gun to his head…
From the rolling hills of Vermont to some of the world’s most powerful cities, Winters is thrust into improbable adventure, riveting intrigue, and elusive romance. The question remains: can he navigate around the dead-ends in a maze of CIA manipulation and entrapment—or will he fall prey to the sinister forces of underworld intelligence?
While studying journalism at Penn State University our guest traveled to auto races on weekends where he took photos he was able to sell to racing magazines. One of his editors suggested, “You’re taking the pictures so write the feature stories that go with them!” 
After a stint with the Darrell Waltrip, Gatorade #88, NASCAR team he spent the next thirty years traveling the world for VP Racing Fuels. But that passion for writing never left him. Following the advice of James Patterson who said “give readers what they want,” - six novels later, from his debut title FOUND IN TIME to his accounts on the road with VP in FUELIN’ AROUND through to his latest thriller DEADLY DRIVER, author J.K. Kelly has striven to do just that.
This episode is part of our ROAD TO SUCCESS SERIES - inspiring stories that help shape the future of the autosphere.
This episode was recorded on-site at the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing in York Springs, PA.

Romeo, Romeo... wherefore art thou, Alfa Romeo? (Patreon Special Re-release)

Italian Cars antics, we pull a #tbt and revisit our Patreon Pit Stop minisode when we catch up with Chris Bright from Collector Part Exchange (CPX) and discuss the past, present and future of Alfa Romeo. #ICYMI - Be sure to check out the original episode on Break/Fix.

What Should I Buy? - Italian Exotics!

For petrol heads of a certain age - the poster on our bedroom wall, the dream car, the exotic, the temptress if you will… those cars are the ones that corrupted our souls and invited us into the enthusiast world for the first time. They are defined by painstakingly passionate craftsmen. Vehicles with luscious curves, exaggerated features, spicy accents and fiery red paint schemes from manufacturers with names that end in vowels… 
But thanks to misconceptions, myths and limited availability it's not often at the top of collectors' minds unless they’re willing to “take that risk or make that plunge!” into the worlds of Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo and others.
With the help of returning “What Should I Buy” panelists and Italian Car Owners and Experts such as William Ross from the Ferrari Marketplace, Chris Bright from Collector Part Exchange, Don Weberg from Garage Style Magazine along with petrol-head extraordinaire Mark Shank from the 90’s WSIB episode, we aim to prove the nay-sayers wrong, and find YOU the perfect Italian Collector Car!

Hailing from California, he collects cars and bikes built with plenty of cheap and fast, and not much reliable. On his show, he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, and motoring travel.

From the other side of the Fence to Amelia Island, the Bill Warner story.

Tonight’s guest has been around automobiles his entire life.  On weekends, he worked as a “gopher” for the dealership racing team and became enthralled with motor racing. His photographs and writing have appeared in Road & Track, Car and Driver, Autoweek, The Atlantic Monthly, Automobile, Automotor und Sport, Classic & Sportscar, Porsche Panorama, and Forza to mention a few. 
He has competed in the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash known to many of us as just “The Cannonball Run” as well as the Firestone/Firehawk series, winning the IMSA Media Challenge (for racing journalists) in 1984-1986. And if that wasn’t enough he also restores and collects interesting cars.
Who exactly are we talking about? Acclaimed author, photographer, racer, car collector and all around petrol-head… none other than Bill Warner, who in 1996, also founded the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance near his home of Jacksonville, Florida. And we welcome him to Break/Fix to share some amazing stories with all of you. 
This episode is part of our ROAD TO SUCCESS SERIES - inspiring stories that help shape the future of the autosphere.
This episode is sponsored in part by Garage Style Magazine. Since 2007, GSM has been the definitive source for car collectors, continually delivering information about Automobilia, Petroliana, Events and more... because after all, what doesn't belong in your garage?
