In this episode, Andy and Ross talk to Ben Lawrence (56 Oval), who with the backing of Straightliners will be timing a series of drag racing events here in NI.  Despite living in the province for nearly two decades he hasn't lost a hint of his Essex accent, and we talk about his obsession with aircooled VWs, drag racing and how he relishes the challenge of getting on the tools of carbureted classics.<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
