On this episode of The Retro Rides Podcast, Cam and Rich are joined by Tim Possingham, director of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and Adelaide Rally.
Together, they talk about the origins of the Adelaide Motorsport Festival, along with offering a preview of what's going to be on show. We can confirm we'll be in attendance at this year's Adelaide Motorsport Festival which will run on March 8-9.
Of course, Cam and Rich also take a look back at some recent car news, such as the recently-announced $900k Maserati Shamal restomod and an impressive trip a brave adventurer took in their 1974 Mini to the world's tallest volcano.
They also recap a few recent stories on the site including our deep-dive into the rare Ford Surferoo show car and our buyer's guide on the Triumph Stag which regained popularity recently after featuring in the finale of the finale of The Grand Tour
