Tuesday Mar 19, 2024
The Broadmoor International Pikes Peak Hill Climb, presented by Gran Turismo - or as we call it Pikes Peak - is an utterly fascinating, utterly terrifying, and utterly American race that takes place every year up a Colorado mountain. If you've never experienced The Race to the Clouds, we're here to tell you just how special it is.

#140 The best kit car to build in your garage (with special guest Diego)
Tuesday Mar 12, 2024
Tuesday Mar 12, 2024
Kit cars inhabit an interesting place in the automotive lifestyle - often ridiculed, sometimes longed for, but never ever respected. Are there any good kit cars out there? Is it worth building your own car? And what do you do with all those leftover bolts? To help us answer these questions, we've enlisted kit car owner Diego to tell us what's what.

Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
We're back with another one of our window shopping episodes where we trawl the local (and not so local) car ads to find the best car you can buy this week for a paltry $15k. We even brought Warren on so we could hear his rediculous idea, and boy was it a doozy!

#138 The not-quite corner office BMW 5-Series (with special guest Simon)

Monday Feb 26, 2024
You got yourself a BMW 5-Series. Congratulations. Shame you didn't work just a little bit harder so you could afford the big boy 7-Series. Oh well, someone has to file all that paperwork and fill out the PowerPoint slides. But at least you bought the right 5-Series by following Best in Class's recommendations, right?

#137 The remarkably unreliable Land Rover Discovery
Monday Feb 19, 2024
Monday Feb 19, 2024
The Land Rover Discovery - or Disco to the fans - was an attempt to move downmarket and get more people into the British car brand. Many people bought them, but then they too learned just how unreliable Land Rovers are. So the plan worked, I guess? This week Steve and Adam explore the history of the car Adam just acquired for $2000, and find out just how big of a mistake he made.

Monday Feb 12, 2024
One of our loyal listeners is turning 50, and as such she asked us to help her pick out a fun car to buy for her birthday. The catch? It also has to be 50 years old. So Steve and Adam went on the hunt for the best car from 1974! The results, as you would expect, were mixed.

It's been too long since Adam has been to the DMV, so to correct that he went out and bought a car today! The only way to find out just what a heap of rust it is (or isn't) is to listen to this week's Best in Class!

He's an entrepreneur and electric car enthusiast, but also a serial failure who has seen the inside of many courtrooms. So is he an automotive huckster, or a misunderstood genius? We'll find out this week on Best in Class.

#133 The Adam-esque Lamborghini Jalpa
Monday Jan 22, 2024
Monday Jan 22, 2024
The Lamborghini Jalpa was completely overshadowed by its big brother the Countach, but this hard-charging bull deserved better than that. At the very least, it was faster, better, and prettier than its direct rival - Steve's Ferrari 308. So if this car is so good, why haven't you heard of it? And is there a best version?
