Everyone knows the nursery rhyme. But the real London Bridge wasn’t just “falling down”. It burned, froze, collapsed, drowned people, and carried a whole neighborhood on its back for nearly 600 years. From Roman legions and Boudica’s revolt to medieval masons, firestorms, frost fairs, severed heads on spikes, and finally a trip across the ocean to Arizona, this is the definitive story of London Bridge.

Rob Howard is the founder of Kindred Motorworks. He started in the world of technology, building a career in engineering and leadership before turning toward something more tangible. Nights and weekends in his garage became full restorations, from Mustangs to a 1957 Chevy wagon for his kids. The move from tech to cars was not a rejection of innovation but a return to working with his hands and creating something built to last. That shift shaped Kindred’s approach, applying the precision and process of the tech world to the craft of rebuilding vintage vehicles for the road.

Chris Runge is a craftsman chasing unachievable mastery who builds one-of-a-kind, hand-formed sports cars from scratch. He joins Kris to share his journey from farm kid to renowned car builder, and gives us a preview before his appearance at Sports Car Vacationland.

This one’s got it all. A blown Volvo engine, a mad dash rebuild by a hero, and Overcrest Rally scouting that turns into a full-blown mechanical fever dream. It's about the people who drop everything to help, the places most folks never see, and the weird magic that happens when you push deeper instead of turning back.

Tyler Pappas is a BMW performance specialist, race car driver, and the founder of Tyspeed in New Jersey. In his third outing at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, he showed up with a 705 horsepower G87 M2 built in-house to take on the production car record. After setting top times in practice, his final run ended in a high-speed off at one of the most unforgiving corners on the mountain. The car was damaged, the week looked over. Instead, Tyler and his team pulled off a full rebuild overnight using parts from a donor M2 with help from FCP Euro and Winslow BMW. He made it to the start line the next morning. The record attempt was cut short due to weather, but the drive to get back up speaks louder than any time sheet. This is the story of a shop owner who bet everything on one mountain. Watch the full film to see how far he got.

From fake motorcycle YouTube channels to AI citing AI, it is a feedback loop of disinformation.They talk about Porsche’s new Club Coupe, a two hundred thousand dollar purse disguised as a 911, and draw lines between heritage branding and identity loss. Toyota is pushing hydrogen, California just got shut down on its EV ban, and a brake swap with Kris’s daughter turns into a hands-on reminder of what still matters. Also included are Jeep duck madness, speed limits, and capybara smugglers.Support this content and join the Drivers Club
