Ghosts, Gearboxes & Great Stories | BCG Podcast w/ Jeff Bailey & Imthishan Giado!

Classic cars, haunted highways, and the death (or rebirth?) of motoring journalism! In this lively BrownCarGuy Therapy Session, Shahzad Sheikh (BrownCarGuy) is joined by fellow automotive media veterans Jeff Bailey and Imthishan Giado for a deep dive into how the car world - and the way we write, film, and talk about it - has evolved.

They discuss whether car journalism is dead or just rebooted for the influencer age, how understanding your audience really matters, and why EVs, range anxiety, and modern car design are reshaping everything. Expect humour, nostalgia, and brutally honest insights about writing, creating, and surviving in the ever-changing world of cars and content.

Plus: haunted roads, electric Minis, oversized modern cars, classic BMWs, and how sound — or the lack of it — is killing the joy of driving. If you love cars, car culture, and good conversation, this one’s for you.

📚 Featured Topics:

- EV range anxiety & charging chaos

- Why classic cars get more attention than supercars

- The real difference between influencers and journalists

- How sound defines driving emotion

- The behavioural psychology of car ownership

- What audiences actually want from car media

- Haunted highways and the cars we’d take to drive them

🧠 About the Guests:

Jeff Bailey – journalist, author, publisher, songwriter, entrepreneur and all-round motoring raconteur.

Imthishan Giado (in Dubai) – car journalist, and co-founder of Motoring Middle East.

Hosted by Shahzad Sheikh – aka BrownCarGuy.

Brown Car Guy

Welcome to the BrownCarGuy Therapy Podcast — where we rant, reminisce, and revel in all things automotive!

In this packed episode, I’m joined by three of the most opinionated petrolheads I know:

🔥 Sy Ali – Founder of Drivers Union Supercar Club

🔥 Adnan Mallick – Collector & Founder of Landbeasts Automobile Classica

🔥 Imthishan Giado – Motoring Middle East co-founder & Dubai car culture legend

Together we dive deep into the real frustrations, nostalgia, and passion that define modern motoring:

🚨 Classic Car Market Crash?

Why values of icons like the Jaguar E-Type and MGB have plunged — and whether this is correction or collapse.

⚡ Ferrari’s Identity Crisis

From the failed EV push to the ugly new SC40, has Ferrari lost its soul or just changed its audience?

🎬 Movie Car Magic

DeLoreans, Esprits, KITT, the Batmobile, Mustang “Eleanor,” and more — why the coolest cars ever made all come from the silver screen.

💥 The Jay Leno Syndrome

Are we all just hoarders at heart? Inside the psychology of car collecting and what makes us chase nostalgia on four wheels.

🧠 Generations & Gearboxes

Why young drivers are reviving manuals while older enthusiasts cling to analog icons — and what it means for car culture’s future.

💬 COMMENT BELOW:

Which movie car defines you?

Would you buy a modern Ferrari or stick to the classics?

And what car would YOU hoard if money and space were no issue?

BrownCarGuy Therapy: Fiona Easterby & Syeed Ali of Drivers Union!

In this wild and heartfelt episode of BrownCarGuy Therapy Session, we welcome adventurer and TV camera operator Fiona Easterby, alongside our regular guest Sy.

Fiona shares her incredible stories of overlanding across continents — from buying a £99 Beetle and driving it across the Sahara Desert to Gambia, to an epic journey from the UK to Singapore, passing through Iran and Pakistan in her beloved Baja Bug, Pedro.

You’ll hear about:

🚙 Real-world adventures in classic cars — from Europe to Asia

🏜️ The Plymouth-Banjul Challenge, Mongol Rally, and travelling through war zones

🔋 Fiona's experience owning a converted electric Beetle – and why it was a disaster

🇵🇰 How she found Pakistan safer and more hospitable than expected

🧾 Sy's rage about garage-blocking drivers, ridiculous parking fines, and the war on motoring access

🏁 Fiona & Sy’s thoughts on recent events like Brooklands German Day, Kop Hill Climb, and AMG GT drives at Brands Hatch and Silverstone

⚡ EV reliability issues, e-fuels, and the future of classic car ownership

This is one of the most human, funny, and raw episodes yet — a true tribute to car culture, global travel, and what it's like to live life behind the wheel.

“Imposter Syndrome in Car Journalism + Why 911s Are Driven by Pricks!”

Yes, we went there. From battling self-doubt in the industry to a savage takedown of Porsche 911 culture, this BrownCarGuy Therapy Session pulls no punches.

But that’s just the start…

In this episode I’m joined by:
👉 Naveed Hussain aka @Naveed4Speed – UK car reviewer & AutoEvolution contributor.
👉 Imthishan Giado – Dubai-based automotive business journalist, ex-CAR Middle East deputy editor, and my co-founder at Motoring Middle East.

We dive into the most controversial, hilarious and revealing conversations you’ll hear about car culture right now:
⚡ Imposter Syndrome in Car Journalism – why young creators feel they don’t belong, and whether “real” journalists vs influencers even matters anymore.
⚡ 911s are for Pricks? – Imthishan drops the most brutal take on Porsche 911 ownership you’ve ever heard (and why he might reluctantly agree they’re brilliant).
⚡ Gatekeeping & Diversity – “the barrier of entry for brown people is invisible and so much higher… you’ve got to be the Barack Obama of automotive journalism.”
⚡ Bradford Car Culture – Caterhams, LaFerraris on the high street, and why Bradford’s car + food scene might surprise you.
⚡ Chinese Cars Take Over – BYD has 100,000 people in R&D compared to VW’s 20k. Are legacy manufacturers totally screwed?
⚡ Enthusiasts vs Consumers – are petrolheads becoming an endangered species in the algorithm era?
⚡ AI & Algorithms – why opinions may no longer matter if Google and ChatGPT just spit out the specs.
⚡ Ford’s Fast-Tracked Ranger Raptor Disaster – how rushing development to keep up with the Chinese exposed huge flaws in the Middle East.
⚡ Classic Cars vs New Cars – the truth about running costs, honesty in old school engineering, and whether passion is worth the pain.

This isn’t just car talk — it’s a raw, funny, and brutally honest session on the future of cars, culture, and journalism itself.

💬 Comment below: Are car guys finished? Do 911 owners deserve the “prick” label, or is it still the greatest sports car ever?

👉 Smash that Like 👍, hit Subscribe 🔔, and share this podcast with your petrolhead mates.

Welcome to another BrownCarGuy Therapy Session - the unfiltered, unscripted podcast where car guys let it all out!

In this episode, I’m joined by Sy of Drivers Union and Darren Sullivan Vince - founder of Waterloo Classics Car Club and Bloomsbury Classic Car Show - for a lively, passionate, and often hilarious discussion on the state of car culture today.

We ask the big questions:

🎯 Is the new Ferrari 849 Testarossa a styling flop or misunderstood genius?

🎯 Have fake engine noises in EVs gone too far?

🎯 Will the Knight Rider reboot crash harder than KITT ever could?

🎯 Is the golden era of the car really ending?

From skyrocketing cost of hosting car events, to driving wars in London, to whether it’s right to be converting classics to electric - we dive into it all.

We touch on:

- 50 years of the Lotus Esprit

- Goodbye to the Nissan GT-R, Boxster/Cayman & Civic Type R

- Why a new Audi C concept might actually be hopeful

- Whether classic car culture can survive in the age of digital content

And why the real value in cars today might just be found in nostalgia, passion, and good company.

🗣️ Join the conversation! What’s your take – are we witnessing the burnout of car culture, or is this just the beginning of a new era?

Brown Car Guy

In this latest BrownCarGuy Therapy Session, I sit down with Sy from Drivers Union for a brutally honest, no-fluff conversation about the state of car culture in 2025 – and why, despite everything, we keep showing up.

We kick things off talking about the burnout of content creation – whether it’s YouTube, Instagram, or photography, the effort-to-reward ratio has never felt more lopsided. If you’re a creator, or just someone trying to keep the passion alive, you’ll relate.

Then we dive into the skyrocketing cost of car events – when did it become £55 just to park up and walk around? Have the best events like Hampton Court Concours and Salon Privé become too elitist for the everyday enthusiast? Is the community slowly being priced out?

We explore the new car price madness – with even average motors now hitting £35-50K, are people finally turning back to cool, characterful classics instead? We get nostalgic for stuff like the Lotus Esprit, and question whether it's too early to be ripping out engines for EV conversions while battery tech is still evolving.

Plus:

🔧 The cost of parking in London

🚗 The generational divide in car enthusiasm

🎥 Creating quality car content in a thankless algorithm

🔥 Why Dubai’s car meet culture (Car Middle East, Motoring Middle East) was so special

🤔 What the future holds for the car scene – and should we rebuild it?

This isn’t just a chat – it’s a therapy session for petrolheads. And if you’ve ever asked yourself why we still bother with all this car stuff in a world that seems to be turning against us… you’re not alone.

Brown Car Guy #BrownCarGuy

Welcome back to another BrownCarGuy Therapy Session – LIVE!In this episode, I’m joined by none other than Sy from Drivers Union, and we’re going deep on everything that’s right – and very wrong – with modern car culture.🚘 Supercars vs Daily Reality:Are today’s exotic cars still magical? Or has usability, tech, and regulation taken the thrill out of the drive? We talk Ferrari 360 Spider ownership, practicality (or lack of), and whether a modern supercar is still worth the hassle – even if it turns heads on every street corner.🎮 Digital Overload:From touchscreen-only controls to disappearing physical buttons – and those intrusive reversing cameras that feel more like CCTV. Have we gone too far? Are modern cars now more computer than car?👀 Always Being Watched:There’s an unsettling amount of monitoring going on behind the wheel – cabin sensors, driver fatigue systems, even black boxes. We discuss the creeping loss of privacy in modern motoring.🧠 The Death of the Driver’s Car?Where are the manual gearboxes? Where’s the tactility? Has the soul of the car been replaced by software updates and subscriptions?🛞 Car Culture Therapy:This isn’t just a moan-fest – it’s a proper conversation between two car guys who live and breathe this stuff. We share personal experiences, wild car stories, laugh-out-loud moments, and even touch on what the future of petrolhead culture could look like in a world pushing towards electrification and automation.📣 Whether you’re a fellow enthusiast, a supercar owner, or someone simply fed up with overly complicated dashboards – this episode is for you.Visit and subscribe: https://BrownCarGuy.com for more motoring stories, videos and updates!SUBSCRIBE for more motoring news, car reviews and insights!YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/browncarguy?sub_confirmation=1You Shorts now here https://www.youtube.com/@BrownCarGuyShortsAnd follow all my channels https://linktr.ee/browncarguy🔥 MY BOOKS ON AMAZON! 🔥https://browncarguy.com/2025/05/12/browncarguy-books/📖 Want to become an automotive journalist, content creator, or car influencer?
