One day in the late Nineties, Valerie Thompson accidentally got on a motorcycle.

She was hooked immediately, and so began an impressive career in drag racing and land speed attempts.

Valerie is the fastest female on two wheels, a member of the 200 and 300 mile per hour clubs, and holds ten world records. She’s a member of the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame.

Valerie survived a horrific crash at Bonneville, and through it she all demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism. Her story is inspiring to anyone who has an interest in racing and personal achievement.

Although he had a legendary career as a Disney Imagineer, Bob Gurr originally trained in automotive design.

In his youth, Bob was a hot rodder and custom guy. He attended Art Center and was hired by Ford Motor Company before deciding to leave Detroit and make his living back in California, helping to conceive and build an entirely new world of wonders called Disneyland...but he's never lost his love of cars.

Recently Bob sat down with Maurice (and Bobby Green of The Old Crow Speed Shop) to look back on his lifelong fascination with cars and design.

The wide open spaces of the American West- especially the deserts- have always held a special appeal.

Sinuhe Xavier knows this well. He's explored thousands of square miles, mostly in Land Rovers, while at the same time writing, photographing and filming the landscape and its secrets.

He's skied professionally, ridden motorcycles in South America, crossed Morocco in a 4x4, and directed many television commercials to pay the bills. But it always comes back to wanderlust and the next adventure.

In this episode, Maurice talks overlanding and other things with Sinuhe (and his son, Cooper). It's tranquilo.

Ahhh, the "Good Life". It applies to everything from cuisine to cars... and Tim Lappen is no stranger to exclusive automobiles.

He's the Fine Autos Editor at Haute Living Magazine and a lifelong enthusiast who grew up in the incredible Los Angeles car culture. As a teenager, he managed to acquire some great cars from local dealers for just a few days, writing about them and drumming up some business in the process. So began a lifetime of sampling the finest cars the world has to offer.

We recorded this episode during a very pleasant lunch meeting at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, and you're invited into the poolside cabaña as we talk about great cars and the "Good Life".
