Chandan Basu Mallik: Bob Lutz, Murray Walker, Horacio Pagani & the first British-Asian Car Journo
'Brown Car Guy & Buddies' - Catching up with Chandan Basu Mallik in Calcutta, India - I knew him in Dubai where he headed up and/or wrote for several major automotive publications during his near two decades in the Middle East, including Autocar, F1 and Wheels. As a fellow British-Asian, he beat me to his first car review by a couple of years. Some great stories and anecdotes here including experiences with Bob Lutz, Murray Walker and Horacio Pagani. And as a model car collector - with the oldest one in his collection aged at over 100 years, during lockdown, he's taken to crafting and building his own scale models from scratch.

Reuters Photo Journalist Jorge Ferrari: Caught escaping Kuwait & how Maradona saved him!
'Brown Car Guy & Buddies' - Jorge Ferrari is one of the leading photographers in the UAE, but he's been based in the region as far back at 1986 in Kuwait, where he found himself caught up in the invasion by Iraq. Ever the professional, his pictures were the first seen by the world from inside occupied Kuwait as he was shooting for Reuters. He talks about how his big escape plan failed miserably and he was caught and saved, in a manner, only by Maradona. He later moved to the UAE and went on to shoot motoring and motorsports, extreme sports and other events, meeting some of the biggest names in the sporting world along the way. I met him in Dubai in 2006, we became good friends and I worked regularly with him on car shoots and events. Plus he gives some great advice and tips on how to be a great photographer.

Abdulla Jaafari: from Illegal Street Racing in Amman to Shooting Supercars in Dubai (+Drifting)
Abdulla Jaafari: from Illegal Street Racing in Amman to Shooting Supercars in Dubai (+Drifting) 'Brown Car Guy & Buddies' - Abdulla Jaafari has gone from covering illegal street racing / drifting on the strees of Amman, Jordan, to shooting the Pininfarina Battista in Dubai. Plus dune drag with the Mercedes AMG G-Class 4x4 Squared - a video that's got him nearly 8 million views on YouTube, and of course drifting... lots and lots of drifting. In fact I first met him at a drift event at Umm Al Quwain, where he was covering Jordan's drift king, Ahmad Daham. Jaafari says he is "an automotive content creator - which means that I spend most of my time either behind a computer screen, a camera or a steering wheel, and the best part is that this is how I make a living! "Worked as a journalist, a photographer, a presenter, a host, an accidental influencer (Oh god..), and thankfully, I was always surrounded by cars."

Exclusive Interview: Gordan Murray T50 Supercar!
Exclusive interview with car design legend Gordon Murray on his new supercar, the amazing T.50 from Gordon Murray Automotive (GMA), the true successor to the iconic McLaren F1. Lamenting that no one had appeared to create a true follow-up to the F1, and to mark his own 50th year in the business, Murray set out to create not only modern-day F1, but what he claims will be the definitive and last great ‘analogue’ supercar. The T.50, created under his own brand Gordon Murray Automotive is as extraordinary as its illustrious forebear with three abreast seating in a car that’s smaller than Porsche 911. It will have a totally unique and bespoke 3.9-litre V12 engine that revs to a record-breaking 12,100rpm and produces 660bhp. All this in a car weighing less than a ton at 986kg. To keep it planted and to ensure standard-setting ride and handling dynamics, the T.50 will have the most advanced and effective aerodynamics ever seen on a road car thanks to a unique show-stopping huge 400mm rear-mounted fan. The car features sensational scissor (or dihedral as described by Murray) doors, and gullwing rear compartment lids to show off the incredible Cosworth developed power unit and luggage space. Like the F1, it has a central, very driver-focussed driver position, with passenger seats flanked on each side. Most astonishingly of all, the T.50 comes not with an automatic or flappy paddle gearbox but an actual H-pattern 6-speed manual transmission nestled in a narrow floor-mounted console. The steering too is only assisted at parking speeds and on the move reverts back to being purely mechanical. Only 100 will ever be made with a pre-tax price tag of £2.36 million each, and production of will begin at Gordon Murray Automotive’s UK production facility in January 2022 – with a year of testing and development to take place between now and then. Most of the cars are already spoken for, but apparently there is some availability and there will be a Middle East sales and service office in Abu Dhabi.

Ronald Balit - NOT a Lebanese Rally Driver!
Watch at https://youtu.be/Zq1ZNyy_hcY From deck hand to car journalist to Rolls-Royce PR to a career with GM - but not a Lebanese rally driver, definitely NOT a Lebanese rally driver - meet Ronald Balit! Ronald Balit hails from the land of the cedars, lebanon, fabled for its snowy mountain caps, gushing rivers and Mediterranean coast, its winding mountain roads, deep valleys, and..... rally drivers, all 4 million of them! Ronald never aspired to be a rally driver, though he did try out for navigator once, he was passionate about cars and the industry that made them and dreamt to work in the industry as soon as he figured out becoming an Astronaut or president was things 5 year olds said and being a pilot was akin to being a glorified bus driver. He wanted to be a car engineer, but even that was not to be. And thanks to his skill in finding a way into whatever profession interested him he's been entrenched in the industry for the past 20 years, from the outside in, he is living the dream and he's here with us today to tell us how he made it there and how he lives his passion every day.

Neville Darukhanawalla - from Scooter Boy to Ram Head
The Amazing Journey from selling old mags in India to PR for FCA in Dubai In this episode I chat to my good buddy, Neville Darukhanawalla. A self-confessed automotive buff, Neville Jal Darukhanawalla has been associated with cars and bikes since his school days in the late 1980s. A two-time national champion, racing scooters in his native India, he has raced in different forms of motorcycle sport – road racing, motocross, rallies, flat track, trials and what have you. A massive fan of Formula One and MotoGP – in fact, of all forms on motor racing, he believes that racing improves the breed. He was the team leader of a marathon expedition crossing the inhospitable Sahara Desert in 1990 – on a 100cc scooter, no less – traversing north to south from Morocco, Algeria, Niger and onto Nigeria, a distance of nearly 10,000kms. With a total trip time of 28 days, he led his teammates for a collective riding time of 17 days as they overcame all that nature, man and machine could throw at them with aplomb. A motoring journalist since 1987, he switched over to the other side in 2008 and was, till last year, looking after public/press relations at Fiat Chrysler Middle East as the PR Manager. He is always looking out for adventure and making new friends. Affable, helpful, inviting and always acceptable to criticism – he is always approachable and ready to talk things automotive and otherwise too!

Jonny Lieberman: Reviewing Cars is Like comparative
In this episode I chat to one of America's most well-know senior motoring journalists/car content creators, MotorTrend's Jonny Lieberman - you'll know him from his work on the mag but also videos like Ignition, Head 2 Head, Best Driver’s Car, and the World’s Greatest Drag Race videos on YouTube and Motor Trend on Demand (links below). Jonny Lieberman has been MotorTrend’s senior features editor for a decade. During that time, he’s written and made videos about every sort of car under the sun. From driving the one millionth Land Rover Discovery onto Red Square in Moscow, to nearly getting stranded on the side of a snowy volcano in Iceland inside a Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, to plunging a Mercedes-Benz Unimog into a frozen lake, to hammering a 5,000-pound Bentley Continental GT around the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Jonny has lived the car guy’s dream. We do talk about how he survived the Unimog in the frozen lake incident! Also there's a look back at his career, his top tips and advice for people wanting to get into automotive media, we talk about the cars he's currently testing, and we head into the difficult area of politics - tackling racism both in general and in relation to the automotive and media industries in particular.

Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations - Ford Comms Dir
John (Yahya) Gardiner, Ford Comms Director: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations 'Brown Car Guy & Buddies' In this episode I speak to John Gardiner who has been at Ford Motor Company for 30 years and currently has two jobs - Executive Director, Communications & Public Affairs, Ford of Britain & Ireland, and Corporate Communications, Ford of Europe. As well as a PR guru, he's also a Muslim revert, a student of Chinese and Malay Fighting skills, and of course a fellow Trekkie! We find out about his unique career path from selling classic American muscle at aged 12 to Ford Exec via a catering and Custom Car magazines. In light of the the lockdown from the COVID-19 Coronavirus and now the #BlackLivesMatter movement and new reports about BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic) communities in the UK, the conversation inevitably turned to how a big car company like Ford deals with these issues. There is some encouraging information about that and the post-Lockdown response of the automotive industry, as well tantaslising insight into what's to come from Ford of Europe! Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations (IDIC) is from Star Trek and represents inclusiveness. It's the basis of Vulcan philosophy. “It represents a Vulcan belief (also Roddenberry’s belief) that beauty, growth, progress — all result from the union of the unlike.” And the symbol, a triangle intersecting a circle, with a stone in the center, represents this with unlike shapes – one smooth and one angular – combining together with a gemstone in the middle, “as the union of words and music creates song, or the union of marriage creates children. The circle can represent infinity, nature, woman, etc; the triangle can represent the finite, art, man, etc.” (Inside Star Trek 1) Get this https://amzn.to/2B25KFG https://amzn.to/30EUQ3C https://amzn.to/3dYpXuP https://amzn.to/2XVhDWV https://amzn.to/2Yv80NQ Please subscribe to my channel for more videos like this - and make sure you hit the bell icon to switch on notifications.

I know Supercar Blondie but I'm the real Car Girl!
Great to catch up with the all-action Wonder Woman of motoring in the UAE - Alix Capper Murdoch Atkinson. She's in the military, she does stunt driving, she races cars and bikes, she's a radio DJ, has done TV and live shows (with me) and raises loads of cats. She also manages to name drop quite a bit in this video from her time in Dubai from Kanye West and Kim Kardashian to Jackie Chan and working alongside Alex Hirschi AKA Supercar Blondie. Plus that time she deliberately crashed a Range Rover into a Taxi in Dubai!

Cars, Ice Cream Vans, Horses & did she ever buy that Honda Accord?
Hilarious chat with former Dubai Eye radio host, Podcaster/YouTuber and full-time university lecturer - the Jeep-driving, Hawaiian-shirt wearing, irrepressibly energetic Canadian - Prof James Piecowye. We catch up on doing six years of the CarTalk one-hour weekly radio show on Dubai's top talk-radio channel, why I love Honda's, why he won't buy a new Jeep, how I got into motoring journalism, how he annoyed radio people enough to be given his own show, why Nissan was wrong about us, why we both dislike the Land Rover Defender, and how Chinese cars and podcasters will ultimately come to rule the world!

Kalashnikovs to Karaoke, confessions of a Dubai Pro Driver!
In the latest in my series where I catch up with friends and colleagues from around the world, I chat to Ian Cox who's been in the United Arab Emirates for over a decade and is a man of many talents - a DJ, Quiz host, Karaoke entertainer, and pro-driver involved with track days and car manufacturer drive events on road and track for VIPs, tourists and of course the media. There's some great stories of motoring mayhem in the Middle East in this episode. He's also a modern classic anorak and I get him to dispense some top tips on which 80s and 90s cars are ripe for the picking right now. It's alway a laugh with Coxy in Dubai!

Secrets of an Automotive PR Professional
In this video I catch up with PR professional, good friend and supporter Tom Conway-Gordon. Having worked both in the UK and Dubai, I got to know Tom from the Chevrolet Camaro launch a decade ago. He worked on the huge General Motors Middle East account and also on the very important Daimler Mercedes-Benz account for the region. We reminisce about car launches, me being that pain-in-the-arse journalist that causes PRs such headaches, mishaps and madcap car journos, what makes good and bad automotive PR, how to managed a brand out of a crisis, and there's some extra hugely beneficial life-coaching advice on mental health and well-being during difficult experiences, like the current COVID-19 coronavirus lockdown.

I drove Ferrari F40 for Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld & hated it!
Continuing the series - 'BrownCarGuy & Buddies' in this episode I chat with Fraser Martin - a Scotsman who's lived in the Gulf for over four decades and has been involved in just about every aspect of automotive and motoring in the Middle East, from instructing, to testing, to car development and motoring journalism. Here he talks about that time he had to drive Mohammed Ben Sulayem's supercars (Ferrari F40 and F50, Porsche 959 and Jaguar XJ220) all day for Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld and continues to shatter my illusions about the F40. We also touch on the time he was hostage and human shield in Kuwait in the First Gulf War and what he learned from that; his extensive experience off-roading including how he proved a point by taking his Honda Jazz (one of the very first in the UAE) over an off-road course designed for a large SUV; that time we took a Volkswagen Passat CC 4Motion into the dunes and things went a bit wrong; and why most motoring journalists can't drive - oh, he had to get that one in! Plus we look at a the incredible dioramas he's been creating over the last couple of years utilising the over 500-strong collection of classic model cars he has. You can see more that in the link below: https://www.motoringmodels.com/ Fraser's guide on coping with lockdown based on his time as a hostage in Kuwait: https://www.facebook.com/sheikhshahzad/posts/10156787876932120 Driving the VW CC in the dunes https://youtu.be/jDWX0Fhgrlg Fraser's model car collection: https://youtu.be/vVZtgN--yBM Jeremy Clarkson's Motorworld Dubai Episode https://youtu.be/ToNCqF3KCHs Don't forget to check out exclusive my parody Cannonball Run sequel only at: https://www.patreon.com/shahzadsheikh Please subscribe to my channel Please subscribe/follow https://BrownCarGuy.com https://YouTube.com/BrownCarGuy https://www.instagram.com/shahzadsheikh/ https://www.facebook.com/BrownCarGuy/ https://twitter.com/Shahzad_Sheikh Subscribe!
