This week we’ve got something a little different for you. 4/3 Day, in memory of Ken Block, is around the corner, so Scotto decided to dedicate this solo episode to sharing some personal stories and memories of Ken. It’s also a little taster of what’s coming up on 4/3 day itself. In case you hadn’t heard about it yet, there will be a special 4/3 day event on YouTube from Block House Racing HQ, where Scotto and other familiar faces will be hosting a FOUR-AND-A-HALF HOURS fundraising stream-a-thon! 9am PT on Friday, April 3rd - don’t miss it! There will be live action, great stories and a great collection of guests to both celebrate Ken’s memory and to support the fantastic work of 43 Institute. Meanwhile, catch some personal reminiscences here from Scotto to get a little taste of what’s to come, and as ever - enjoy.@BlockHouseRacing@BrianScotto @321ActionActionPartners:Vyper IndustrialFCP EuroHeatwave VisualWera ToolsProducer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterartsMusic: SlikSound Patreon: https://patreon.com/u37266647https://bio.site/321actionactionpodcasts@321actionaction.com00:00 - Welcome & Introduction01:32 - Firing Up Old Hard Drives01:59 - Origin of 43 Stories03:18 - Ken Really F**king Hated Dressing Up09:39 - Taking Goodwood By Storm - Those Pesky, Lovable Brits!12:31 - Thou Shalt Hoon16:09 - First Hoonigan Stickers17:25 - Rally GB Hangover Meeting20:46 - The Goodwood Gymkhana That Never Was30:16 - Leaving Zero to 60, A Whole New Chapter31:09 - Hoonigan Takes Shape39:05 - M Sport First Test42:45 - Greystoke, Shitterton, Cocking, Twatt & Diss44:17 - Why WRC Ended52:03 - Legacy53:55 - 4/3 Day Stream - Fri Apr 355:09 - Channel Plans Ahead56:56 - New Shows In Development

FIRING ORDER is back! This time in the hot seats we’ve got two certifiable JDM wizards in the house: Mickey Andrade and Jon Naderi alongside Scotto, to battle it out and establish the definitive list of the TOP 5 JDM Tuning Companies. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and while we promise we tried to keep this show on the rails and under two hours, clearly we can’t help ourselves, you lucky buggers! Alright then, you rowdy lot, gather round, sit quietly now and bear witness to this exhibition match of pure geekery. It’s a ripper, enjoy!@MickeyAndrade@RoundCatGarage@Nadsynads@BrianScotto @321ActionActionPartners:Vyper IndustrialFCP EuroHeatwave VisualWera ToolsProducer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterartsMusic: SlikSound Patreon: https://patreon.com/u37266647https://bio.site/321actionactionpodcasts@321actionaction.com00:00 - Welcome & Introduction00:27 - Sponsors: Heat Wave & Wera Tools02:07 - Let Battle Commence!04:33 - Tangent: NOPI tour backstory14:43 - Setting The Rules; Just So We Can Break Them20:21 - Nads’ List31:09 - Tangent: UK speed run legend40:36 - Mickey’s List01:02:42 - Snack Cart - Sponsored by Vyper01:04:44 - Scotto’s List01:10:27 - Locking Top Six01:11:19 - The Blind Spots01:14:04 - Tangent: Wheels01:24:21 - Any Last Swap Outs01:29:03 - Sponsor: FCP Euro01:31:28 - Cutting One To Leave Five01:35:20 - Ranking The List01:44:10 - Tangent: Defining A Real Tuner02:04:23 - Final Rankings Vote

Another highly-requested guest this week on VERY VEHICULAR, we’re happy to welcome Jon Chase! You probably know him from his Hoonigan days as a designer and the creative force behind much of the merchandise but there are depths to Jon that are revealed in this highly flowing and tangential conversation. If it’s one of those never-ending ADHD fever dreams you seek, you won’t be disappointed – you’ve been warned! It’s a masterpiece of the genre, even by Scotto’s standards. The guys manage to cover everything from seeking tangible offline experiences; to the scourge of AI (particularly choice language is used!) and of course, it would be remiss not to tell some never-heard war stories from the days of Power Tour. I’d say this episode has it all but they barely even got started: we’ll have to bring Jon back for part two!

Scotto’s been threatening it for a good while.. and it’s FINALLY HERE! Presenting the first ever episode of this brand new show: FIRING ORDER! The concept is simple: Scotto and returning friends Vin Anatra and Ron Zaras fight it out to make the definitive (definitely not subjective!) list of the Top 5 Driver’s Cars, Post 2000. They’ve each done their homework and brought a list of five cars. However! Only two cars from each list can move forward to the final round. The group has to argue.. I mean – decide! – which cars make the cut and enter the final 6. Finally, the group has to choose together which car gets cut, then the list is ranked to give the definitive Top Five! Stay tuned to the end for the big reveal! Enjoy. @Vin_tra@Roncar@thedrivers.era@BrianScotto @321ActionActionPartners:Vyper IndustrialFCP EuroHeatwave VisualWera ToolsProducer: Nick Rutter @nickrutterartsMusic: SlikSound Patreon: https://patreon.com/u37266647https://bio.site/321actionactionpodcasts@321actionaction.com00:00 - Welcome to Firing Order! 00:44 - Sponsors: Heat Wave & Wera Tools02:24 - How Firing Order Works06:19 - Some Rules And Restrictions08:04 - Vin’s List22:31 - Ron’s List36:07 - Snack Cart - Sponsored by Vyper38:14 - Scotto’s List52:30 - Picking Finalists59:45 - Blind Spots List01:09:18 - Sponsor: FCP Euro01:15:17 - Final List Showdown01:22:24 - WDM World Domestic Market?

This week VERY VEHICULAR welcomes JR Hildebrand: Race Driver and Veteran of THAT Indy 500 Crash back in 2011. Scotto and JR get philosophical as they break down the maybes and what-ifs they’ve each encountered through the many forks in life’s road. Mainly though, they’re here to figure out the answer to motorsports’ entertainment problem. Drawing from his deep well of experience behind the wheel, JR’s manifesto for setting racing ‘off’ rather than on the straight and narrow is compelling. Scotto, as ever, brings both a viewer’s and a director’s eye to bear on the problem at hand, because at the end of the day, don’t we all deserve to be entertained?

Comin’ in HOT! There’s long been talk of an OG Hoonigan Reunion, so here for your chemically-adulterated viewing and listening pleasure, It’s Mister Zachary! Strap in for a no-holds-barred, questionably-legal rapid-fire creative meeting with Scotto on this week’s episode of Very Vehicular! All bets are off as the pod deviates from the road and heads into uncharted territory – jumping over borders: geographically and ethically. Pull up your stool and eavesdrop on these two masters of masochism as they devise a road-trip for the ages that promises torture for all your favourite characters, wanton destruction of personal and public property… and maybe even some bathtub crystal m*th? Make sure your will is up to date and follow the devil’s own road, where cell signal ends.. and mischief begins.

You’ve all been asking, and we’re delighted to deliver. It’s none other than fellow Hoonigan OG: Suppy! But quiet a sec, hush now, can you hear that out your bedroom window? Why, it’s the far-off bark and whine of backstreet-tuned Hondas out on the Francis Lewis Blvd. The year is 1999. Careful now, if you can keep your head down, and mouth shut, ‘youse might just be able to sneak out without your parents knowing, and maybe, just maybe… you’ll run into a couple of charming renegades out in those dark streets. Tales of their exploits vanish like hot exhaust fumes on the cold night air. Their names? Scotto and Suppy.

It’s a pork Porsche-fest this week on VERY VEHICULAR! Scotto is joined by Betim Berisha (of BBi Autosport) and returning friend and regular: Vin Anatra, still licking the fresh wounds of having sold his GT3 RS. This episode had a clear objective, to answer the question: are Porsches still cool… and does it even matter? There’s plenty of wisdom and insight on hand for you to feast on this week, plus a generous dose of shit-talking to help you wash it all down. Will they manage to answer the question? Will they manage to stay on track, literally or figuratively? Will they manage a pod-lap-time under 2 hours? Stay tuned to find out.

Welcome back to Season 2 of VERY VEHICULAR! To kick things off, we’ve got Rob Dahm in the studio: creator of the world’s first AWD 4-Rotor RX7 and all-round mad scientist! He and Scotto nerd out so hard they break the record for the longest episode of the pod to date (we know you degenerates love the long ones, so we deliver)! In an epically neurodivergent battle of the tangents, who will emerge victorious? Will Scotto finally find the help he needs to whittle down the fleet? Will Rob set a track record at Laguna Seca? If a car can stick to the ground… could it stick to a wall?

It’s the Season 1 Finale for VERY VEHICULAR! Here to bookend the season is none other than Vin Anatra, full of plans for the future, tales of woe about his 360 (apparently it hates being blue!) and of course, it wouldn’t be a patented Scotto convo if there weren’t a generous dose of tangents, shit-talking and taking each other to task. Scotto needs serious help downsizing his fleet: could Vinnie be the man for the job? You never know, you may even get to watch this drama play out on screen in future. Stay tuned to hear about their future plans and of course, thanks to you for listening and watching this first season of the pod. It’s been a mad dash from start to finish now, and without all of you and the sponsors, this show wouldn’t exist.
