Customer Reviews
It’s so good!
This is my go-to podcast for automotive information. It’s so good that I am coming back to some episodes to remember pointers and experiences that I need to keep in mind while suggesting my friends and family
Best motor podcast ever!
Informative and fun. Been a ThisConnect listener since its inception and it has never disappointed. Must listen podcast for any motor enthusiast.
Love the new approach
This new clutter free, right down to the basics, simple approach on the motoring industry is quite an idea which brings you out of the chaotic content from the regular automotive channels.
A great listen and a definite recommendation for everyone who loves to ride or drive or aspires to.
