Life Plus Cars welcomes Mike Briskie to the podcast, who has an accomplished career in the automotive industry and is also a skilled driver on the track. Mike recently led a group of car enthusiasts on a winding journey through the back roads of seacoast Maine and New Hampshire, all without the assistance of GPS. Mike tells Brendan and Ian about the inspiration behind the Seacoast Manual Transmission Rally and his own stick shift tales.
Mike shares his mission to get the word out about driving enthusiasm, and in particular sharing the joy of the manual transmission. Through his new creation, Shift Project New England, Mike wants to bring about more driving awareness, connection, and enjoyment via the stick shift.
The three also talk about what it means to be a car enthusiast and the many forms it can take. With laughter, wisdom, and plenty of car talk, this episode will bring you back to the essence of what engaged driving is all about.
