We talk with SCCA Hall of Fame race car driver Randy Pobst. From his racing origins in a Mk1 VW Rabbit, to his 2 wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona, and his personal car collection – including his Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am and Flyin' Moose Volvo 740. To start, we'll dive into Randy's racing experience: factory contracts with Porsche, Mazda, Volvo, and Toyota. Winning the 24 Hours of Daytona not once, but twice, and his 2015 induction into the SCCA Hall of Fame. We'll cover his exploits at Thunderhill, VIR, Road Atlanta, Laguna Seca, Daytona, Pikes Peak, Sonoma, Lime Rock, Willow Springs, and more! From humble origins in a Mk1 VW Golf (no, not a GTI), to a factory-backed FX16 Toyota Corolla, to setting a Laguna Seca lap record in a McLaren Senna. Randy even worked on the set of 2 Fast 2 Furious as a driving instructor for the film's stars: Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, and Devon Aoki – to name a few. Randy eventually met Jason while filming an uncooperative Cayman GT4 for Motor Trend, and, despite a rocky start when Jason unexpectedly flung a Range Rover off track while racing Randy in an Alfa Romeo 4C, the two teamed up again to film multiple Ultimate Drag Race, Lap Battle and ICONS episodes for Hagerty. The whole gang laments some of the most irritating modern car tech: excessively bright headlights, lights that are somehow off at night, ABS systems that fully shut down when traveling backwards, AEB overreach, and EPAS systems that completely ruin a car's limit handling by curtailing the driver's ability to quickly catch a slide (like the Shelby GT350 Randy repeatedly spun and Jason crinkled at Willow Springs – not to mention the Unplugged Performance Tesla Model 3 Randy famously wrecked at Pikes Peak). Speaking of handling, Randy divulges his dislike of twitchy cars like the Jaguar F-Type R and XJ, the KTM X-Bow, and Ariel Atom. Jason on the other hand loves an ass-y car like the V12 Vantage S, but says the Lotus Exige V6 Cup was so tail-happy it was uncontrollable. The Porsche Carrera GT is somewhere in the middle with mixed reviews and experience all around. While on the topic of handling dynamics, Randy tells us his secret plan to invent a fix for the C8 Corvette's trailing throttle oversteer. He also gives praise to Porsche's Lars Kern for his work on the latest crop of RS products – which may or may not be Randy's favorite track cars of all time out of the box, alongside the 2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. All of which receive top marks on Randy's understeer spectrum, and are polar opposites of the likes of a 1960s Cadillac. We'll touch on Randy's personal car collection as well, which includes a Volvo 740 sedan and wagon, his 1977 Pontiac Trans Am “Randit” (and its oil starvation woes), Toyota Tundra tow vehicle, VW Karmann Ghia and early Tesla Model S. Plus, Derek invents a new phrase for “road rage”, Randy bitch slaps cars out of his way, and also beautifully sings Primus' Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys have returned from their short hiatus to give you even more great content and car conversations. This weeks episode starts off following Benjamin's recent drive of the 2024 Jaguar F-Type R 75, a celebration of the British automaker's great history of sports cars. Benjamin takes a cruise down Memory Ln. to talk about the F-Type and its impact on the brand, as well as how the rest of the sports car world looked when it first debuted compared to where we are now. Plus we get some more insight into his personal, (or is that questionable?) automotive tastes. Then Sami, noted Outback enthusiast and serial owner, talks about the 2024 Subaru Outback Onyx Edition, which he isn't recommending to new car shoppers. He lists why, and the guys go on their own journey to find acceptable Outback alternatives. Finally the pair discuss some news from Ford about the brand cutting a much loved/maligned feature from their future cars.

The Jaguar F-Type is unquestionably one of the most exciting cars to leave Jaguar's workshop in decades. Maybe dwarfed by the absurd XJ220, the F-Type took inspiration from legendary two-seat Jaguars of yore and brought them into the modern age. Debuting in 2013, Jaguar's F-Type has had a solid decade in the company's lineup. Making the F-Type even more interesting, Jaguar made it home to its absurd, supercharged V8. While the F-Type was interesting, and recently saw a styling refresh, it's going offline after 2024. Celebrating the F-Type, Jaguar gave this model a special 75th-anniversary package dubbed R 75. Formally named the 2024 Jaguar F-Type P575 R 75, you can rightfully decode that this Jag packs the potent 575 hp version of its supercharged V8 under the hood. That power travels through an eight-speed automatic to a four-wheel drive system. On this episode of Quick Spin, Autoweek executive editor Tom Murphy hops behind the wheel of the '24 Jaguar F-Type P575 R 75 and puts it through its paces. Murphy takes you on a guided tour of this F-Type and highlights some of his favorite features. Murphy later takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Murphy chats with host Wesley Wren about this snarling Jaguar. The pair talk about the F-Type's run, the car's inspiration, and how it sits in the market amid shrinking competition. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes this Jaguar special.
On this episode of Off The Road Again, Ross & Chris are joined by the Toyota Land Cruiser maestro himself, Jason Harris from Ozark Overland Outfitters. Jason's unmatched expertise and passion for all things Land Cruiser have made him the go-to for custom builds that span across generations, powertrains, and body styles. Jason takes us on a journey through his experiences, beginning with his beloved Troopy Land Cruiser. He recounts the exhilarating moments, challenges, and awe-inspiring views from his memorable trip to the rugged terrains of Colorado. With every curve and climb, Jason's Troopy tales illuminate the indomitable spirit of the Land Cruiser and the unique bond between man and machine. But that's not where the adventures end. Our very own Ross chimes in with his experiences in two luxury vehicles. How does the roaring Jaguar F-Type R compare to the sheer opulence and power of the BMW Alpina XB7? Ross breaks it down, juxtaposing the raw performance of the F-Type R with the harmonious blend of luxury and dynamism offered by the Alpina XB7. From offroad beasts to high-speed luxuries, this episode covers the full spectrum of automotive exhilaration. Whether you're a Land Cruiser enthusiast, an avid overlander, or someone with a penchant for high-end speedsters, this conversation promises to fuel your automotive passion. Rev up your engines, set your sights on the horizon, and let's venture Off The Road Again with this episode's thrilling tales and insights! Tune in now!

The Jaguar F-Type Convertible made initially launched all the way back in 2013. Since then, Jag rolled out various versions of this two-seater, namely the potent R and SVR models. Jaguar also gave the sporty F-Type a mid-cycle update in 2020. While Jaguar's F-Type used to have a variety of available engines, the only option under the hood for Jag's sports car is now a 5.0-liter V8. Jaguar's entry point for its F-Type sports a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that makes 444 hp. The top-range F-Type R features the same 5.0-liter V8 but is cranked up to 575 hp. Managing that power is an eight-speed automatic that feeds either the rear wheels or an all-wheel-drive system. On this episode of Quick Spin, Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of a 2021 Jaguar F-Type R AWD to see how it handles winter. Wren walks you around the Jaguar F-Type R and highlights some of its more interesting features. Wren also takes the snow-tire-equipped Jaguar out for a spin and brings you along. Adding more context to the Jaguar F-Type, Wren talks with Mark Vaughn about this two-seat Jag. The two talk about their experiences with sports cars in the winter, the history of Jaguar's sports cars and the importance of having the right tire. Closing this show, the pair talk about what makes this Jaguar F-Type R AWD special.

The Jaguar F-Type R might not have changed much in the years since it made its first appearance in 2013, but that lack of change is what makes this 2021 model so special.

This week - we got the chance to drive the Fiskar Karma this past week - originally with a starting price of over $100,000 it is easily the most expensive vehicle we've ever driven. Fiskars can now be had for much closer to $30,000 and after driving one, we're not even sure that they're worth that much...We also drove the Jaguar F-Type R. There's no comparison between the Jaguar and the Fiskar, the Jaguar is sporty, responsive, and refined in every way that the Fiskar is now.

Bec and Rach talk about their dream machine - the Jaguar F-TYPE R. We sent the girls out to road test the 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE R and it appears the men of Sydney really had trouble containing themselves.

Either way they had a memorable in a standout vehicle. To hear Bec and Rach go weak at the knees about the Jaguar F-TYPE R just hit play or download...
