Trevor Long is BACK! Still no sign of Paul...but he will be back, we think
About this episode
Trevor Long returns to The Driver's Show, bringing a lively discussion with Gordy Waters about the latest in tech, cars, and the automotive industry. They cover everything from the challenges of EV infrastructure to the quirks of modern safety features in vehicles. The duo also dives into the merits of hybrid cars versus fully electric options and shares their thoughts on various brands, including MG and Tesla. Expect plenty of humor and candid opinions as they navigate the complexities of today's automotive landscape.
Trevor Long is one of the best tech reviewers in the country (not so great in the city, though). He's a car enthusiast and travels the world exploring and reviewing the latest in automotive tech. We can't tell you what he discusses in this episode because frankly he came, sat down and wouldn't shut the fuck up!
Paul will (hopefully) be back one day. He is alive, we understand.
