Mike Brewer's World of Cars

Mike begins a journey of discovery about lowriders in East LA. He gets some experience with hydraulics and pinstriping, eats a burrito the size of a car battery, and cruises down Whittier Boulevard with the Lifestyle Car Club.

Mike ponders whether an old car loses its soul if the engine or body is replaced. He returns to England to visit British Motor Heritage, a company that produces genuine components for classic British cars like Minis and MGs.

Mike finds himself near Indianapolis at the home of NHRA Top Fuel champion Antron Brown. Antron shows him around the mammoth Don Schumacher Racing shop, but Mike as an ulterior motive for his visit: revenge.

Mike is in Chicago, home of famous movie cars, deep-dish pizza, and one of the US' foremost coachbuilders, Brian Limberg. The Tin Man keeps this bygone artform alive, building car bodies from scratch using old-school techniques.

Mike travels to the outskirts of Houston, Texas, to meet a father-son team who are experts in mud bogging, a motorsport that has to be seen to be believed. While there, he drives a monster truck for the first time in his life.

Mike looks at classic cars' future in a world with more electric cars. He travels to Oceanside, California, to EV West, a company that specializes in putting powerful electric motors into everything from Porsches to VW vans.
