Manage episode 379327941 series 3467873
Andy and Jon have the pleasure of talking with Andy's friend Rob Mitchell.
Rob was an only child, but lucky enough to go on some fantastic motoring days out and weekends away with his car mad Dad.
From crewing for a Porsche 356 racer, including getting a ride in a 550 Spyder and a 911 2.7RS through to sitting in a car with Colin Chapman and being kicked out off an F1 pit garage by the legendary Sir Frank Williams!
Road car wise we take in Mk1 Escorts, Lotus Cortinas, 3 door Cortina, Porsche 356, Porsche 944, Mk2 Golf GTI and a Ford Capri 3.0.
Rob finishes things off by suggesting he may take his 87 year old Dad to the Mercedes dealership at the weekend for one last hurrah, before he hangs up his driving gloves for good... C63 AMG? Yeah... Do it!!
