MIKE SPINELLI: Hey, welcome to Drive Central.
Here's where we're going to find out what's happening on
/DRIVE this week.
Don't forget slashdrive.tv, @drive on Twitter, and
facebook.com/drivetv, where you will find us
on the social medias.
This week on (YELLING) /BIG MUSCLE.
I never thought I would do that again, but by God, you
guys, made me do it.
This week Mike Musto, who has apparently been curling with
truck axles, drives the most honest drag Mustang you've
ever seen in your life.
Let's take a look.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]
MIKE MUSTO: So, I mean we're in first.
I mean, but like I said, then if you roll
into it, it's like--
[CAR ENGINE REVVING]
[LAUGHING]
MIKE SPINELLI: That's /BIG MUSCLE every
Monday here on /DRIVE.
And on Tuesday, have you ever seen a car made of wood?
A brand new car?
Yup.
Well, you will.
It's not completely made out of wood.
Partially.
It's the Morgan Motor Company, and JF and crew went there for
/DRIVEN this week.
And that's on Tuesday.
Let's take a look.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MIKE MUSTO: That's /DRIVEN every Tuesday on /DRIVE.
And this week on /DRIVE CLEAN, it's rims, rims, rims.
Larry Kosilla and Rims.
You want to take a look at the rims?
Let's see.
-This is a true story.
The first set of wheels I did for a Lamborghini Murcielago,
he said he wanted what the industry standard
at that time was.
I said, let me do the math.
So I went back to do my math.
I said, I'm sorry, that's not possible.
LARRY KOSILLA: All right.
-It's not within 3% of that overall diameter.
It's going to affect your differentials.
And I almost lost the job, because how can all these big
companies be wrong?
I said, look, I did my math, and I know what I'm
comfortable putting on your car.
And this is all I'm comfortable
putting on your car.
Sure enough, he listened to me.
And within four months, the forms were flooded with guys
and their Murcielagos burning up their differentials because
of the wrong tire sizes.
LARRY KOSILLA: Wow.
-Yeah.
So this information is crucial.
MIKE SPINELLI: That's /DRIVE CLEAN every Wednesday.
And also on Wednesday, it's, yes, /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS.
Chris went to the Mille Miglia to drive some
classic sports car.
Let's see which classic sports car it was.
CHRIS HARRIS: I'm not sure if I'll ever be in the presence
of quite so many beautiful special
motorcars again in my life.
This is the holding bay, the scrutineering paddock for the
whole of the Mille Miglia.
According to a piece of paper I've just seen, there are 422
cars entered.
I don't really have any thoughts
about this at the moment.
It's all a bit daunting, driving a C type with Al
Buncombe, the value of which terrifies me.
But I suppose, you just have to enjoy the car, don't we?
Really.
And no sense of irony at all, I'm supposed to drive around
Italy with this on my noggin.
I'm sure this is being done to keep everyone
else around me amused.
As have these, these are my goggles.
Do I look ridiculous or do I just look like I'm driving an
old racing car?

You know what it's time for?
(YELLING) BIG MUSCLE.
[COUGHING]
Oh, man.
I shouldn't have done that.
I really shouldn't have done that.
