Rallies and Regressions
Episode 192
Thursday, 29 October, 2026

Alex, Randy, and Robert enjoy the surfeit of hot rod action currently on BaT, compare their various top speed experiences and give a preview of an upcoming discussion about the movie Ronin before moving on to rehash two rallies they drove in last weekend. Randy and Alex participated with their fathers (and Randy's son) in the Genau Rally, in which all had a great time despite experiencing various levels of old-English-car drama; they discuss "limping it" vs. "nursing it" home. Bobbo, meanwhile, partook of the much more intense Overcrest Lost Coast rally in Northern California, wherein drivers negotiated tarmac and dirt stages, long days, temporary failures to proceed, and their inferiority to a superstar Citroen SM. We discover Randy's favorite sentence and hear about regions of California somehow never explored by our three natives.Alex employs an artful segue into what cars, contrary to the current "everything is getting more expensive" narrative, can be had as relative bargains these days on BaT (the cars that are coming to you instead of getting away from you). The cover vintage Jags, modified 914s, a jujitsu-based Steve McQueen connection, a drum-brake-swapped Zanardi NSX, jumping "industry" BMWs, and when a V8 doesn't even count. Randy insists that he's normal.Follow along!
