Colin Crabbe was the kind of man who could spot a priceless vintage car under a pile of chicken wire in Paraguay — and somehow drive it home. A flamboyant racing driver, Formula One team owner, and classic car hunter with a taste for adventure (and a knack for trouble), Colin lived life in the fast lane — sometimes literally. From smuggling D-type Jaguars out of Cuba to crashing out of races in style, his stories were as wild as you could imagine.I was lucky enough to interview Colin back in 2022, right here in our little village in Lincolnshire. With his passing earlier this year, it felt only right to bring that conversation back — this time as one extended episode. It's funny, chaotic, moving, and full of Colin's unmistakable charm. He'll be sorely missed by his family, our community, and classic car lovers around the world. But what a ride he had.Colin Crabbe, motor-racing driver and entrepreneur.

What does the Amazon-Hyundai partnership really mean for the future of auto retail? Is AI evolving too fast for dealerships to keep up? And why might some obstacles in car buying actually be good for dealers? In this episode, I sit down with my long-time friend and trusted industry voice, Cliff Banks—founder of The Banks Report and AUTOVATE Conference. We break down the latest trends in automotive, from AI adoption in dealerships to digital retailing's real impact on sales. Cliff shares insights from top automotive CEOs on the biggest challenges they face with AI, why SaaS development is a pain point for vendors, and what role data centers and computing power will play in the future of auto retail. Plus, we talk shop about: The Amazon-Hyundai collaboration—is this really about selling cars, or is it a data play to fuel digital advertising? AI in dealerships—why being open to new tools matters & the risks of pretending AI agents are human. Digital retailing & the sales process—is it actually making car buying easier, or is it just another manufacturer-driven initiative? The dealership evolution—how AI, data reporting, and the FTC's compliance requirements could determine Tekion's fate. China's growing automotive influence—what happens if Nissan weakens? EV market reality—why Cliff predicts a much smaller EV share than expected. If you're grinding it out in the dealership world and struggle to stay up to speed with industry shifts, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for a casual, insightful conversation with one of the most experienced voices in auto reporting.
