#58 Kris Frome
Born in the United States, Kris Frome moved to New South Wales at 9 years of age. It was the ocean that called to him first.
Surfing, music, sound engineering led to opportunities in electronics. Anyone else remember Brashs?
Kris also found himself in the world of car audio, starting a journey that would take him to building a serious AutoSalon competitor.
This same car, built with an exquisite attention to detail would then become a vehicle to chase a new passion in motorsport. It's safe to say that Kris gave it everything and that showcar became a blown monster, built to go sideways.
Now a little older, with a few more responsibilities, you can take the man out of the drift car, but you cant take the spirit of drifting out of the man.
Kris has been invited to judge the national Hi-Tec Oils All Stars Drift Series as part of the Hi-Tec Oils Super Series.
Will we see him behind the wheel again? You just never know!
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

#57 Scott Robinson
Scott Robinson from Modern Classic Motorsport is a BMW man through and through. Doesn't mind an old Porsche or Ferrari either, as long as it's from the 70's, 80's or 90's. My kind of guy.
Having spent many years supporting his friend David Harris, with whom Scott assisted in purchasing, refreshing and then campaigning the BMW Group A 325i. This vehicle was built by Frank Gardener's BMW Team JPS and driven by Tony Longhurst.
1986 winner of the Amscar series and 4th place in the Australian Touring Car Championship.
Scott helped David to prepare and also run the car at the track. When David passed, Scott asked his family if the time ever came up, that perhaps he could be considered to purchase the car from the family estate.
In 2023, the opportunity arose. Scott didn't hesitate to become the new custodian, and to campaign the car in the Australian Heritage Touring Cars Championship.
Late in 2023, Scott had been unwell and declining. Come December '23, Scott began chemotherapy on one condition.
Work the dates of his chemo around his 2024 race calendar.

#56 Shaun Maluga
Shaun Maluga hails from Gladstone in Queensland and cannot be persuaded that a LandCruiser is a superior choice to an International Harvester Scout.
Despite his confusion, Shaun shares his journey through creative industries, learning to work faster and just how much it takes to build a career as a retoucher and photographer.
With a global portfolio of work, spanning portraiture, advertising and automotive, a seven-year stint in the USA led him to this little side quest with this 4x4 called the Scout.
Now back in Australia with two Z cars, three Land Rovers and a serious need for a 60 Series. We look back with an eye to the future and plans to travel, photograph and explore this beautiful country we call home. Western Australia is up the top of that list just quietly
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

#55 Alan Butler
Turbo Yoda has found himself in a place where he is ready for change. Having announced his retirement from The Skid Factory, Alan is ready to explore new possibilities.
It's just time to refocus on what's important and to take a moment away from an insane content creation schedule.
We go back in time and discuss a boy from Gympie, growing up on a farm and riding BMX. Gaining an apprenticeship, dating the Dealer Principal's daughter, an obsession with Subaru's, cheap half cuts, and engine swaps.
Internet forums, Mighty Car Mods, MCM TV2 and becoming Turbo Yoda, The Skid Factory, the magic of twin downdraft webbers and so much more.
Not only did Alan and I talk rubbish for three hours, he even brought beers! An absolute legend and a privilege to share his story as he transitions to a different gear at the end of his Skid Factory journey. He certainly isn't planning on stopping, with plans to keep building projects and make a few guest appearances on Mighty Car Mods and The Skid Factory.
I hope you enjoy our long, meandering conversation as we jump down rabbit holes talking life and cars.
If you already miss Al you'll be pleased to know that he's going to fire up his Instagram and keep you up to date with his new projects.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
#053 Jamie Jeffreys
Jamie Jeffreys grew up in Camira in south-east Queensland. He recalls the moment when out on his pushbike as a boy, he heard that rhythmic, thumping rumble that resonated with every ounce of his being.
Leaving school in grade 10 to pursue an apprenticeship as a painter, he enjoyed the work however it wasn't quite right.
Resigning from the paint shop and not wanting to go home to report his lack of employment to his parents, he signed up to a PT Training course before he went home that day.
So began the next chapter to take us through the next 14 years as he found his place building Prodigy PT.

With six seasons so far in the top tier of Australian motorsport, Todd has worked his way through the ranks with pure perseverance.
From selling Freddo Frogs at school to raise money for karting, to negotiating deals to take the grid at Supercars, I'm blown away at just how hard Todd has worked to bring his dreams to life.

#051 Brendan Thomas
I met Brendan Thomas at Goodwood Festival of Speed and as I've taken the time to get to know him, I've discovered a fascinating man with quite the career journey hailing from Perth, Western Australia.
BT wanted to work in sports management from the time he was 13 years old. Now living that dream, he embarked on this adventure with a clear view of where he wanted to go.
As is so often the case, the path less traveled makes all the difference.
A fascinating discussion that takes us through his journey at Red Bull, getting permission from the mayor of Queenstown for Mike Whiddett to drift the Crown Ranges in that show-stopping video... if you're into cars, you know the one.
Then there was so much more to come and quite literally, it sounds like this journey is just getting warmed up.
If you're interested in the business of sport, you'll want to listen to this.
#050 Anika Thoren
Growing up in the land of sugarcane champagne, Anika Thoren made a move to Brisbane to build a career in the automotive world.
Approaching seven years with Yokohama in April 2024, she has achieved precisely what she set out to do. As always, the path was not straightforward.
A love of rotary-powered Mazda's, the surprise of a T1D diagnosis and the mission to earn every opportunity.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

#048 John Wren
As a self-taught artist, John Wren has spent many years exploring his artistic expression through a variety of mediums.
Like any great hero's journey, the path has been long and winding. From trading beer for scrap metal creating early sculpting success followed by artistic intervention. A safe sensible career, then drawn back again into the world of art. Right as the spicy cough kicked in, forcing some serious lateral thinking to solve the new problem of no galleries.
A fascinating story of persistence, finding your way, and listening to the universe. Be it a subtle whisper or if you miss that one, a full-blown sledgehammer.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did and you can follow his work on the following links.

As many great stories go, there was a fork in the road and they decided to build the very best trailer they could for their parents, who are avid explorers and responsible for sparking the love of adventure in their children.
This R&D project trailer became Bruder chassis 001. The rest is history. Quite an extraordinary one at that.
#045 Tommy Robinson
From the Atherton Tablelands to Mt Isa growing up, life in that part of Australia needed something else for Tommy Robinson.
Skating and punk formed a path to opening a skate shop straight of school.
Three years later, he took a job in the mines, as it made sense rather than struggling as a business owner at such a young age.
This time would change him forever, witnessing just how fast things everything can change, giving him the push to go and do the things that still burned inside.
Building Marauder Clothing filled the next ten years, with a trip to Japan lighting the spark of the next idea. Bellmott, Australian-made, shelf-stable coffee. This story is only just getting started.
#044 Dave Reid

Dave's commitment to his profession, saw him covering for news outlets, magazines and brands that saw his work go all the way to Times Square in NYC.
A wonderful conversation, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

#041 Matt Thurtell
Matt Thurtell is a man on a mission to revolutionize bluetooth. When he was decking out his 4x4 and inparticular the 12v control, he couldn't find a wireless switching solution he was happy with to control the onboard systems.
So he built one. With a lifetime of experience in IT and a few friends who were happy to trial it out as they bash around the Northern Territory, the SwitchMaster was born.
A Kickstarter provided the proof of concept as a working model was delivered.
Now finding more paths and adding additional functionality, Matt shares the path of working full time with a dash of product development after hours.

Her path to becoming an interior design consultant formally began in London when her youngest daughter was a baby.

For Lisa, Bella Vie Interiors has always been about creating a ‘beautiful life’. The business name was borne from an idea in her twenties and driven by her desire to create a beautiful life. ‘Bella’ inspired by a love of Italy and ‘Vie’ by a love of France.

#034 Daniel Sharp
We delve back into the treasure trove that is the mid 2000's. Boostcruising, Club High Rollers, swapping an S13 for a Mk4 Supra on Boost Classifieds. No fish tank apparently.
On to a creative hub living with Matyas Fulop and James Dean Kiernander that wound into Downshift, travelling to Japan with Toyota Australia, the magic of Bullrush Rally and then thanks to the spicy cough, welcoming a new opportunity that has become part of something very special at Queensland Raceway.
A wonderful conversation with a true gentleman of the game. I look forward to sharing this one with you soon! My exceptional producer Eli Donovan Colbran is rolling the post production on this one, we're turning this into a genuine, grown up show!

#026 Ian Baker
Ian recalls: “I was so impressed with the quality of cars and the whole time attack scene in Japan that I thought – we need to introduce this sport to Australia!”
As the interest and participation in the format grew, Ian saw an opportunity to re-create the event on a scale previously unseen in the sport of time attack. The idea was to create a truly international event where the best of international time attack teams compete on the same track at the same event. In this format, the teams represent not just the tuning shops behind the car but also their country. All for the glory of being crowned the World Time Attack Champion.
