Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.
In this episode Jon recalls his mixed emotions about Ozzy Osbourne and the glam rock scene of the 1980s, his nostalgic relationships with certain cars, including a specific Ford Capri he regretted not purchasing, and his early jobs selling aerial photographs door-to-door. He delves into his appreciation for bands like Black Sabbath and discusses heavy metal's evolution. Shifting topics, he talks about the future of major car manufacturers, particularly expressing skepticism regarding Nissan's survival amid increasing competition from Chinese car makers and the rise of electric vehicles. He contrasts Nissan's approach with Toyota and Honda's strategic moves, lamenting a potential loss in Japanese automotive creativity.
