Freeman Thomas on Car Design and the Future of Meyers Manx

From Lamborghini to Porsche to Bentley and more: Car design - where has it been and where is it going? Robert Ross and Freeman Thomas, continue their conversation about the history, and more importantly, the future, of automotive design.

The two men then circle back to Freeman's passion for Porsche and Freeman's R Gruppe (9:22).  After a short break, the men finish their discussion of the high-in-demand R Gruppe membership and the purpose of restoration (17:35). Robert takes a moment to consider the Porsche legacy (23:10), before asking Freeman what three cars, with no limitations, Freeman would want (27:23).
