Have we hit PEAK Re-imagination?
5/12/20261 hr 29 min
When will we run out of cars to re-imagine, restomod, or (dare we say), replicate? Is there a market for the 355 by Evoluto, or the Boreham Ford Escort Mk1? Some say yes. We get review both of these incredible cars and it brings us to larger questions: Are they better? Worth the money? What do you get? We drove both and get into it the good/bad and what they mean for "nostalgia builds" in general.
Patreon questions include:
Would BMW M buyers prefer an Alpina?
Track days: what does "advanced" mean?
Why does every hate my black ice air freshener?
Cars we forgot still exist
How to price a driving experience
Should I Lemons race my old Alfa?
The worst car we'd buy each other
And more!

First 90 secondsMatt Farah· Host0:00
What's up, everybody? Matt Farah here. Welcome to the Smoking Tire Podcast. Today's episode is brought to you by Off The Record. You love Off The Record just as much as I do based on the number of emails I get from people who tell me that Off The Record absolutely took care of them when they got pulled over and accused of doing something bad in their car. That's right, if you get a ticket for anything, big or small, don't plead guilty. Get Off The Record. They will connect you with a qualified attorney in that jurisdiction who will fight that ticket on your behalf, and most of the time, get it reduced so you don't have points on your record, you don't have those problems with insurance premiums going up, problems with your employment, et cetera, et cetera. Go to OffTheRecord.com/TST. That's OffTheRecord.com/TST to get 10% off all legal services booked through Off The Record. One more time, OffTheRecord.com/TST. All right, folks, on this episode of the show, it's been a big week of driving for me, and I have driven two very cool Restomods, the Borum Motorworks Alan Mann Escort, and Zach and I review the Evoluto 355. I've brought along a stock one c- to, uh, compare to. That actually takes up most of our show this week, and we've got a few questions from the patrons that give us some good other things to ponder. But let's get this Restomod episode of the Smoking
