Cretanous Cars Sent from God

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.

Joined by his high school friend Mark, they discuss an amusing incident involving rescuing a stuck car on a sandy road. They dive into a detailed description of Jon’s recent vacation in Greece, including his experiences driving on the challenging roads of Crete, car rental stories, and reflecting on the local automotive culture. The conversation also touches on music, specifically the band Monster Magnet, and the importance of mediated experiences in motorsport. The episode concludes with personal anecdotes and humorous observations about dog ownership.
