I’m Flippin' Furious!
About this episode
Max and Matt dive into the world of classic car flipping, discussing the ethics and business behind overnight markups seen at auctions. They debate whether quick flips without any added value are acceptable in the classic car market. The episode also touches on the allure of automobilia, recounts their recent SL versus Stag road test, and shares listener feedback on car warm-up routines. With humor and passion, they explore the intricacies of classic car ownership and the dealer's role in the market.
The boys are back and Max is flippin' furious at dealers who try and flip classics for a big profit. We do a serious piece of consumer journalism by trying to spot the differences between a Stag and an SL. We ask if automobilia is cool or just retro clutter? And we get your thoughts on everything from car warm ups to ugly classics. It’s a high octane show full of opinions and humour. So hit play and enjoy!
