Welcome to another BrownCarGuy Therapy Session - the unfiltered, unscripted podcast where car guys let it all out!

In this episode, I’m joined by Sy of Drivers Union and Darren Sullivan Vince - founder of Waterloo Classics Car Club and Bloomsbury Classic Car Show - for a lively, passionate, and often hilarious discussion on the state of car culture today.

We ask the big questions:

🎯 Is the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa a styling flop or misunderstood genius?

🎯 Have fake engine noises in EVs gone too far?

🎯 Will the Knight Rider reboot crash harder than KITT ever could?

🎯 Is the golden era of the car really ending?

From skyrocketing cost of hosting car events, to driving wars in London, to whether it’s right to be converting classics to electric - we dive into it all.

We touch on:

- 50 years of the Lotus Esprit

- Goodbye to the Nissan GT-R, Boxster/Cayman & Civic Type R

- Why a new Audi C concept might actually be hopeful

- Whether classic car culture can survive in the age of digital content

And why the real value in cars today might just be found in nostalgia, passion, and good company.

🗣️ Join the conversation! What’s your take – are we witnessing the burnout of car culture, or is this just the beginning of a new era?
