Breaking all the records... with Lyn St. James
Tuesday Sep 06, 2022
Tuesday Sep 06, 2022
For many of us, our stories begin with amateur racing in SCCA, and our guest is no exception. Full time-secretary and piano teacher by day, by the age of 26 she moonlighted in racing behind the wheel of a Ford Pinto which doubled as her daily driver. Quickly moving up the ranks, she fought alongside names like Haywood, Stuck and Ribbs in Trans-Am and IMSA. She would take home titles in races like the 12 hours of Sebring, 24 hours of Rolex and 24 hours of the Nürburgring. In 1992, the mold wasn't just broken… it was shattered, and at the age of 45, proving that neither gender nor age matter in Motorsports - she entered the Indianapolis 500, earning the title rookie of the year. We are proud to welcome, the one and only, Lyn St. James to Break/Fix.

Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Thursday Sep 01, 2022
Remember that show with Jeff Foxworthy where we used to watch people show off how smart they were and if they could pass a fifth-grade exam? Well… Tonight, we’re taking a Break/Fix spin on that, in “Can you explain it to a 3rd grader?” a back to school special where Mountain Man Dan squares off against automotive questions from our 8 year old panelist, Clio.

1100HP Lucid: Isle of Man TT and Our Man's Hospital Story
Friday Aug 26, 2022
Friday Aug 26, 2022
Jon Summers is The Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing, technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. 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.
In this episode, Jon, a California-based motoring historian, shares his experiences and discusses various vehicles he recently test drove at an event organized by the Western Automotive Journalists (WADGE). He engages in a detailed conversation with his school friend, Mark, about the cars he drove, including notable mentions like the BMW M4, the Lucid, and the Toyota Tundra Capstone. They delve into design philosophies, performance evaluations, and the broader automotive industry's trends. The episode also touches on personal anecdotes and reflections on the challenges and exhilaration of both driving and motorcycle riding.
BMW M4 Competition Convertible
The new BMW grill with giant kidneys (altho J calls it a Mercedes grill…)
BMW I50 M4; range anxiety, and the city car According To J
Electra Meccanica Solo
Lucid; the drive; meeting the design team
Toyota Tundra Capstone; looks like a Lexus drives like a Hellcat; Americans and their trucks
Ford Maverick; 21st Century Model T?
Not driven, but also discussed is the new Nissan Z car - M has driven his 350Z 170k and crashed a 370Z; comparison with Mustangs.
Fleet news: M is considering buying a BMW M2 to replace his Renault Megane RS265; the importance of independent specialist mechanics if you’re running second-hand premium cars.
J compares V twin sportsbikes, a BMW 1150R, and his most recent acquisition, a Ducati 900 SS/CR and the value of an “Italian Tune Up”.
The Isle of Man TT, the deaths, the ethics, and the guy we sponsored, Mike Booth, being seriously injured.
Nurburgring and Spa track days remembered.

Confessions of a DeLorean owner
Tuesday Aug 02, 2022
Tuesday Aug 02, 2022
When people hear the name John Z. DeLorean (JZD) whether they are a car enthusiast or not, they will tend to associate it with the DMC-12 automobile made famous by the Back to the Future franchise. Most people don’t realize how much of an influence JZD had on the automotive industry as a whole. His level of vision and talent exceeded many.
Quoted as the godfather of the muscle car era when he introduced the legendary Pontiac GTO, he was always toying with the idea of his biggest venture, the “DeLorean Motor Company” (DMC), which in 1975 he began to realize. With full control, John was able to work on any concepts without restrictions. His first and only creation would be the DMC-12. And with us tonight is returning Guest Don Weberg Founder and Publisher of Garage Style Magazine, to share with us, his true confessions as a DeLorean owner.

Thursday Jul 21, 2022
Thursday Jul 21, 2022
Do you ever find yourself flipping through the channels and stumble across something that keeps you glued to a show that you’d never considered watching before? That’s exactly what happened to me. I landed on an episode of American Pickers on History Channel, and much to my surprise they were visiting the Volo Museum.
And for those that don’t know ... the Volo Museum was established in 1960 by the Grams family in the Chicago suburb of Volo, Illinois. It houses 45 exhibits, over 15,000 historical items and over 400 rotating classic and collector cars ranging from the 1920's to modern muscle! Join us on this virtual tour as we talk about the Museum with Jim Wojdyla marketing director for the Volo Museum.

Track Shaker! (Scott Hartman)
Tuesday Jul 19, 2022
Tuesday Jul 19, 2022
Jumping into a new hobby, especially Motorsports can be super difficult. It’s a seemingly impossible new world that’s been inhabited by others who already enjoy different disciplines. We know it can be intimidating and that’s what stops many from migrating from the street, to the track. Thankfully, there are communities out there that are always welcoming and willing to help out those who are looking to try something new.
As the founder of Track Shaker, Scott Hartman is devoted to helping drivers experience new and exhilarating adventures with their cars through grassroots motorsports. Using his experiences in videography, event hosting and motorsports consulting he has spent thousands of hours creating and curating the helpful resources found on Trackshaker.com – Scott has definitely developed a unique set of skills in the automotive world and we welcome him to Break/Fix to share his story.
