THE DRIVE with Alan Taylor | Episode #308
The Las Vegas Convention Center was bustling with automotive enthusiasts for the 2017 SEMA Show. We got the chance to catch up with some of the car celebrities from Discovery and Velocity LIVE at the Craftsman Garage. Fast N’ Loud’’s Richard Rawlings and Dennis Collins swung by to let us know what wild and crazy things they are up to. Then, we chat with Mike Finnegan of Roadkill who details how the show got started. Shifting gears, we talk with the Diesel Brothers and hear about their roles within the shop and a little about family life. Rich Christensen, former host of Pinks, tells us about some of the new projects he is working on. After that, professional hot rod builder Bodie Stroud jumps on the mic to share about BS Industries (BSI), Bleu Stroud’s singing career, and rides he’s working on for a few celebrities. Up next, the crew from Iron Resurrection and Martin Bros. Customs lists off the sweet rigs they are bringing to life. We end the hour with laughs from the guys of Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer and Ant Anstead, and even get a surprise visit from Bill Goldberg. Listen in for more from the Craftsman Garage.
