Episode 110 - Lance Dong of Always Looking for Another

In Episode 110 of the Alfa Romeo Driver podcast – brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club we have something slightly different – or, rather, we have two slightly different things.

Lance Dong of the San Diego Chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club of the USA - a regular listener to the Alfa Romeo Driver Podcast started his own podcast - Always Looking for Another.

Lance interviewed Guy Swarbrick for his show – and then Guy turned the tables and interviewed him back. You can find Episode 13 of Always Looking for Another through this link, on Spotify, Podcast Addict, Buzzsprout and everywhere else good podcasts are found…

You don’t have to listen to that episode first – but if you have time, we’d recommend you do. We refer to it a couple of times here - but this should all make perfect sense even if you listen to this one first. We’d recommend downloading the other 12 episodes, too.

Episode 104 - Steve Deeks and AlfaWorks

In Episode 104 of the Alfa Romeo Driver Podcast, brought to you by the Alfa Romeo Owners Club. Editor Guy Swarbrick sat down with professional racing driver – and instructor – Steve Deeks to talk about his passion for Alfa Romeo. They talked for so long, we turned it into two epsiodes. Part 1 was released in December as Episode 103 and covered Steve’s early racing career and his links to Alfa Romeo – and how that developed into the passion he has for the marque.

Part 2 covers his exploits in the Alfa Workshop 4C and the work he’s done with Jamie Porter to help develop the car. It should make sense if you haven’t listened to Part 1, but if you want to catch up and come back, that will work even better.
