Stories from the Wrea Green Classic Car Show

It's me, Mark Stone, and we're taking a thrilling detour on this episode of the Back Seat Driver Podcast. Join me as we explore the recent Wrea Green Classic Car Show, where I couldn't help but notice the incredible influx of veteran, vintage, and pulse vintage cars. It's truly a sight to behold!

I had the pleasure of chatting with Andrew Wearing, one of the event's main organisers. Andrew's life has been filled with racing historic Grand Prix cars, and now he's tearing up the track with his McLaren Canam car.

I also caught up with Linda Lancaster and her husband Richard, who just returned from the legendary London to Brighton Veteran Coron in their reliable Hum Barrett. They share their unforgettable journey, from their challenges to the joy of participating in such an iconic event.

But wait, there's more! I had the chance to meet Graham Hardy and the gang from Barber and Green road repairs. Graham has many talents, from portraying Stan Laurel and Albert Steptoe to George Formby and Salvador Dolly. Today, he's trading the spotlight for pothole-mending duties. Hear his incredible story and the adventures of this unique team.

Get ready for a Back Seat Driver Podcast episode like no other. From vintage cars to racing legends and road repairs, we're diving into a world filled with passion, history, and unexpected twists.
