#015 - Episode 015, Justin and I sit down with Kohby. I met Kohby through a mutual friend (Chris) and sat beside him at Chris's wedding. We talked about cars (what else is there for grown men to discuss?), and a couple of years later, we recorded a podcast episode together! It's been a pleasure. We get to hear his take on our EV discussion from episode 10, a bit of reminiscing on old JDM cars, how the Perth car scene has changed and why he enjoys the work he does analysing oil for heavy-duty mining trucks.Kohby's socials:Car stuffPersonal pageShow notes:https://lonelydriversdriving.club/lddc-015Lonely Drivers Driving Club: Website: https://lonelydriversdriving.club/ Insta: https://www.instagram.com/lonelydriversdriving.club/ Justin's Socials: Insta: https://www.instagram.com/justinarmarego/
