Episode 194 Garage Vision Tek (GVT), Andrew Stankiewicz

I met with Andrew Stankiewicz from Garage Vision Tek recently to get an update on some of the products he now stocks that help keep our cars maintained and in good condition, whether it be a daily drive, a classic or a race car.

We last spoke in Episode 160 about why he created the company and now we talk technical - covering a small range of locally manufactured products alongside the international products that GVT source.

I started the year with an interview with Taylor Gill, who was runner-up in last year’s World Junior Rally Championship.

Since then he has picked up the Sir Jack Brabham Award that recognises outstanding achievement and success by an Australian motorsport competitor at the international level.

I caught up with Taylor this week on a zoom call - he is currently based in Finland - to talk about his debut WRC2 rally and his 4th place result behind three local teams.

We also have a chat about the rallies scheduled for later in the year.

Day 2 of the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance was more open thanks to better weather - with the outdoor events taking place which meant being able to see the cars in action.

I recorded four interviews:

1. Fred Drake, the importer of the gorgeous Brough Superior motorcycles.
2. Sir Victor Nash with his Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn.
3. Jeremy Best and his Reliant Scimitar GTE.
4. Simon Cavelle, the first Artist-in-Residence

Episode 190 Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance - Day 1

Day 1 of the Sydney Harbour Concours d’Elegance is done, I recorded two interviews - both about stunning restorations, a 60s Lancia and a 70s Toyota.

Peter Vandersluys and his team at Re.Creation Automotive feature in both interviews.

Episode 189 Sydney Harbour Concours Preview

February has become the traditional month for the Sydney Harbour Concours and I speak with the founder, James Nicholls, to get a sneak peak of the cars on show and the event structure.

We talk about the themes for each of the three days and the concours groupings from the interwar years through Italian design to James’ own version of the Ashes: Australian muscle cars versus refined grand tourers from the UK.

Drive day on the 26th

Main events - 27th to the 1st March.

Episode 188 Taylor Gill, Junior World Rally Championship Runner-Up

Although this podcast typically focuses on historic road and race cars, we sometimes look to the future - and this is one of those times!

In December I met with Taylor Gill, a young Australian rally driver who missed last year’s Junior World Rally Championship by a minuscule 1.6 seconds.

This interview with Taylor talks about his fast rise to the World Rally series and his plans for 2026. I encourage every listener to get behind Taylor to help him become Australia’s first World Rally Champion!
