Randy and automotive journalist Hannah Elliott of Bloomberg attempt to see if lightning can strike twice! Their talk includes slow revelations about doing what comes naturally; the beginnings of her journalistic career; the advantages of coming onto a new beat as a total novice; avoiding your car being the most interesting thing about you; what the term "car guy" really means (hint: nothing); the importance of not boring oneself; the ongoing saga of modern F1; Hannah's own Bloomberg podcast, Hot Pursuit!; Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este and FuoriConcorso as a double header; touring the old test track atop Lingotto, the former Fiat factory, in Turin; the shocking lack of respect generated by a powder blue C3 in LA; and being in the market for a Rolls-Royce Camargue.
