Good Ole Days Nick & Austin Speed Shop

Good Ole Days Nick & Austin Speed Shop

Nick Merry joins me to discuss his upbringing and early interest in the auto hobby. We talk through his evolution from starting a motorcycle club (Vice Grips) to managing Revivial Cycles to becoming the shop manager of Austin Speed Shop.  I apologize for the audio issue at the top of this episode. I fix it about 30 seconds into, but I am intentionally keeping production levels low here. This is meant to be just friends chatting about our hobby not a professional enterprise.
