The episode kicks off with Spike recounting a Beverly Hills car show organized by Treasure State, featuring rare finds like a Bizarrini, a Porsche 356 Zagato, and a 718 RS 60. The crew then debates the merits of Myers Manx vehicles with radical engines.

The hosts review potential logos for their upcoming Morris Solomons dealership, share press car crash stories, and express shocked reactions to the McMurtry Spéirling electric car that's outperforming supercars like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS on the track. Spike reveals his improved ranking in the "Which Spike Do You Like" poll, and introduces the third SCR Sheffield Watch in a classic Porsche green.

The conversation shifts to Singer's new development at Willow Springs, Volkswagen's disappointing monotone color schemes for the ID. Buzz, and Porsche's controversial Austrian tunnel project, complete with speculation about a suspiciously-shaped garage design.

https://lnk.to/drivewithjimfarleyPS!s...

_____________________________________________________

Spike’s Car Radio brings back Sam Fane for a no-filter episode that blends car geekery with pure banter. They roast Farah’s 8-hour podcast plan (it's basically a telethon), dig into Sam’s decision to bail on his first-year Porsche Boxster, and mourn the hellish (and expensive) restoration of his Ferrari Challenge Stradale.

They get nerdy about Porsche's first-year Boxsters, why the Carrera T might be a better everyday choice than the 911 ST, and whether you should even care about lightweight packages in your GT3 Touring.

BMW M2 in Java Green? Looks like a beast, but that gear lever—mid. Spike compares it to the M2 CS while Sam defends (kind of) his decision to rent a Corvette Z06, even though he basically hates everything about it besides the noise.

The random gems include Turkish hair transplants, Spike getting pedicures, classic car smog test law (yes, Leno’s in on this), and who’s winning Instagram Reels from nowhere (shoutout Tony from ‪@BehindTheGlass‬ ). They explore the dead UK Porsche market post-Brexit, YouTube burnout, and why subtle restomods beat overbuilt customs.

Also: community support for Palisades fire victims, and an open invite to Goodwood and Wimbledon.
