Episode 14 is packed with passion, nostalgia and a few spicy opinions. We open with a tribute to Tom Matano, the legendary designer behind the Mazda MX-5 Miata, who sadly passed away this week. We reflect on how his vision reshaped enthusiast motoring forever lightweight, affordable, pure driving joy and why the MX-5 deserves its place among the greats.

Then it’s over to this week’s auction results, where we break down the standout sales, shock passes and shifting buyer behaviour across classic, JDM and Euro performance markets. Some models are heating up again others may have just peaked. Plus the Yang Wang speed record! 

We also roll into a proper Aussie icon: the HQ Monaro. Why does it still hold mythical status in this country? What’s driving its long-term collectability? And V8 EngineOptions?

From there we head off-road with a chat about the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series and its unbeatable heritage. Still in production, still unstoppable, still a cult hero.

Plus, we launch our new segment “Yeah, Nah!” unfiltered car opinions. This week’s debate: Hot Wagons. You get one Audi RS4, Mercedes-AMG C63 S, or Mitsubishi Evo Wagon what do you pick?

Big episode. Don’t miss it.
