A star MIG welder is born!

Welding can be a very rewarding skill, and it's often a necessary skill when restoring or modifying classic and Muscle Cars.

Of course the trivia question is fun, and there's a new update on Mike's GTO engine as well, all on V8 Radio!

Running on all cylinders

by TimmyGisAwesome

Mike and Kevin share a deep well of knowledge with their listeners when it comes to classic cars. I could see my brother playing along with their trivia questions in my head. (He would love this show!!!) It doesn't hurt that both of these guys have great, broadcast quality voices. Kevin actually sounds a lot like Nick Offerman who plays Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. Keep up the excellent work!!!

Really good show but...............

by Henry's Son

Hi guys, I think you have an excellent program that I often listen to when working in my own shop at night, but might I make a suggestion??? Please level the volumes OR make Mike sit at least a foot away from the mic.

Problem is that with normal conversation, all is good and then Mike laughs or makes a pronouncement and ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!

I know it might be trivial, it becomes a real irritant after a show or two.

OK, that’s it, keep up the good work.
