Behind The Cars

Today we get to hear another car enthusiast who owns a few cars including a Maserati, But he has a passion for American muscle and you'll hear about what muscle car he just bought. He worked for many years manufacturing parts for aeroplanes including the Australian defence force aircraft, before changing carriers into civil construction. Hear his story of living with an extremely rare health condition called NETs, or Neuroendocrine Tumours. Hear how along with his family and close friends, how the car community has played a role in his contagious positivity towards life. Listen out for his story of visiting the Maserati factory in Italy too. This podcast is clearly the longest I’ve recorded but it was so interesting that I completely forget about time and I hope you feel the same way.

In our third episode I'm sitting down with Phil Jeffery who is the National Sales Manager for ALPINA Automobiles Australia. It's been a long time coming and I've wanted to record this conversation as soon as I had the idea of starting this podcast. ALPINA is a brand that is still relatively new in Australia, and I really to learn more about it and what sets it apart from other car brands in our market. Thank you all for your patience with me bringing out this next episode. I really hope you enjoy it and learn something.
