"The people of Lebanon love life", says Ahmad Fahs. And they love classic cars, too.

Ahmad calls himself an "International Classic Car Ambassador", having built his own car collection at home, buying cars overseas, and traveling extensively in Europe to learn more about his passion. He's built a local car club called "South Classics" and his Instagram @classics.with.fahsoun has a loyal following where he shares his own rides (and much more).

To Westerners, Lebanon seems an unlikely place to discover a vibrant car culture, but this episode will change your viewpoint on that. It's a resilient and optimistic country where the people look to the future while respecting the past- including all sorts of automotive treasures.

From the moment he saw midget racers in Pasadena as a kid in the late 1940s, Jim Busby was hooked on cars.

He became a hot rodder, a mechanic, a drag racer, and by the 1970s he was behind the wheel of Lolas and Porsches on road circuits in the US and Europe.

Jim made his mark at places like Lime Rock, Sebring, Daytona, Monza, the Nurburgring, and of course, Le Mans.

He also had many successful years building engines and cars and managing his own racing team, culminating with the mighty Porsche 962.

In this wide ranging conversation, Jim Busby reflects on his fifty year career in motorsport, recalling the machines, friends and rivalries that shaped his life in motorsport.
