Dan and Andrew discuss the company's best and worst cars and outline their plan to revive it.Use coupon code pod20 at checkout to get 20% off an annual subscription to The Intercooler's online car magazine...2025-04-2148 minThe IntercoolerThe unbearable terror of your first motor race #251Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel reveal what it's like to compete in a motor race for the very first time.
