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.

A woman named Jane recently dropped her battery-electric MG ZS EV into a dealer. They serviced it. The total cost of the 48-month service was over $900, including $165 for the oil change. That's just for the oil - God knows what they charged her for the labour to change it.

Many of you know this but I am privileged to work alongside so many high performing dealerships and their leadership. Most top 20 in the country for their brands. I use my podcast to share what I learn, teach and implement with the end game - building a championship team.  In this episode, we dive into the critical role General Managers (GMs) play as the "head coaches" of their dealerships, driving performance through daily coaching of their management teams. Achieving championship-level results—rising above all stores in the region or country—is no small feat. It requires a relentless focus on developing managers into high-performing coaches who can guide their teams to win every day. We explore how top-performing GMs pull their managers in, just like a head coach, to model effective coaching strategies. From improving team execution with tools like guest sheets and CRMs to perfecting follow-up texts, coaching managers daily is a game-changer. You'll also hear real-life tactics, like how one GM taught his Service Director to implement a "stamp" system for declined work, bringing more awareness to the shop and protecting their people. It's all about leading by example, fostering collaboration, and helping managers pass those skills on to their teams. We'll also cover the importance of private one-on-one coaching over public scolding, creating a culture of learning, and ensuring team members feel supported, motivated, and empowered to perform. If you're a GM or dealership leader, this episode gives you actionable strategies to elevate your managers, instill confidence in your teams, and drive better results. Coaching doesn't stop at performance talks—it's about getting involved, listening, and leading by example in every aspect of the business.
