Here he is, folks?the one-and-only, the legendary, the beloved Peter Egan. He of Side Glances in Road & Track, of countless harebrained but inspirational road trips, of mock road tests, and so much more. This is the man so many of us at BaT and beyond like to think we've fashioned ourselves after; a modest and humble writer who, perhaps unknowingly, has played a formative role in our addictions to the great machinery of the world, the call of the open road, and the treasures to be found when they are combined.
Peter sits down with Alex in his erstwhile stomping grounds of coastal Orange County, California, to discuss his career and the cars, bikes, planes, people, and places he formed it around. They cover his entry into journalism via Cycle World; the power of an interesting car (or a Piper Cub) to make friends out of strangers in faraway lands; the social advantage of touring in someone else's Ferrari; a memorable show with Chuck Berry and Billy Peek; catching a glimpse of the Old Man at Fiorano; the art of (somewhat) feigning ignorance; getting locked into the Morgan factory at Malvern, England; sharing the last Everest flight of the season with a lone co-passenger who happens to be Neil Sedaka; whether Egan's next project will be a 76-year-old British sports car or a 27-year-old Italian superbike; and how Barb stuck with him come fire and come rain (yes, Barb really is that great).

In this episode, Alex sits down for an engaging conversation with prolific freelance writer and interviewer AJ Baime, author of Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans; The Arsenal of Democracy: FDR, Detroit, and an Epic Quest to Arm an America at War; and his most recent collaboration, an autobiography of racer (and secret drug smuggler) Randy Lanier entitled Survival of the Fastest: Weed, Speed, and the 1980s Drug Scandal that Shocked the Sports World.
