The Avants Podcast

RCS Rally Recap!

Alright, we admit trying to run a road rally during the apocalypse may not have been our best decision, but we did it anyway. This year was different to say the least. 2020 in general isn’t exactly a great year for anyone, but when you add constantly changing wildfires, rapidly moving wildlife, and rapidly moving police cars things get a little more problematic. Listen in to the 2020 Rally Recap; definitely a drive to remember.
Rest In Peace Sam Work. We know you would have loved this drive and we wish you were here to enjoy the next one. You meant a lot to us and we mourn the loss of a great man and a big part of our car community.

1965 Morgan Plus 4. Just purchased during Covid.
1952 Muntz Jet. 1 of 198 made. Total restro-mod… with an 8.3L Viper motor in it.
Need we say more?! Yes, yes we do. Listen in!
