    One Track Mind: The Art of Bob Gillespie

    For our guest, there has always been a joy to drawing and painting. His conscious ego fades into almost selfless relaxed concentration. Time dissolves and the decisions become intuitive and not reasoned. Kurt Vonnegut put it like this “To practice any art, how well or how badly, is a way to make your soul grow, so do it.” Bob Gillespie considers himself very fortunate to have witnessed more than his fair share of history at a racetrack, and has been fascinated, and at times maybe obsessed with. He never thought his childhood heroes would someday have his art hanging on their walls. And he’s here to share his story and how he got the chance to honor them while exploring ways to capture their sport in paint.

    Lucid Gravity: Hipster Hotrod Minivan

    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 provides an in-depth review of the new Lucid Gravity after attending a launch event at the Lucid plant in Newark, East Bay, San Francisco. Summers discusses his initial impressions of the vehicle’s design, likening the rear to a stylish shooting brake and the front to a Chrysler minivan. Despite his reservations about electric vehicles lacking the ’grit’ of traditional cars, he praises Lucid for their California-inspired luxury and advanced technology, including a 900-volt electrical system and an augmented reality heads-up display. He also touches on the practical aspects of the SUV, such as its interior space and off-road capabilities. Summers humorously notes the challenges of balancing family practicality with a modern, high-tech car, concluding with an appreciation for Lucid’s commitment to design excellence.
