Jason Cammisa
Jason Cammisa

Arriving at Jason Cammisa’s garage in Northern California, I was greeted by the protagonist carefully tending to his laundry list of outstanding maintenance items for his beloved cars. It was fitting that the garage decor reflected his humorous on-screen persona, brimming with light-hearted paraphernalia, over-the-top lighting, and even a giant disco ball hanging from the ceiling. He often refers to his collection of cars as his children, and rightfully so given his obsessive care and the devoted relationship he’s built with each of them.

A Compact Powerhouse
A Compact Powerhouse

The NSU Prinz 1000 TT is a name that resonates with automotive aficionados who appreciate the blend of compact design, spirited performance, and German engineering precision. Born during an era when small cars were gaining popularity, the Prinz 1000 TT stood out as a pocket-sized powerhouse that left a lasting impression. For Ace Robey, owner of Retro Sporting, it is a treasured part of his car collection. A very uncommon and interesting find, full of detail and history. This less known German car with an air-cooled rear engine is part of Audi’s history and the first to have the famous TT badge. It was fully restored in 2021, with a 1.0-liter inline four-cylinder air-cooled engine, 40mm twin Webers, full stainless-steel exhaust, and Gaz adjust able suspension.

The BMW E9
The BMW E9

While many car manufacturers in the 1970s did their best to design cars that attracted one’s visual attention, there were many that missed the mark with painful consequences. The design of the1972 BMW CSi ran counter to this notion. While some might describe it as understated and unassuming, its beauty lies in its simplicity.

The Avants Podcast is never scripted and never predictable, but it’s always a good time and full of surprises. You won’t find any boring reviews that sound like reading off a pre-planned info sheet, ”history of” shows that are reworded Wikipedia articles, or advertisements for the next new foam mattress here! The Avants Podcast focuses on making sure guests are always authentic, just like your hosts.

WHO WE ARE


WHO WE ARE


We believe that details matter. We appreciate the time and effort that went into finding those perfect set of wheels. We love manuals, but we also appreciate the neck-breaking performance of today’s dual-clutch transmissions.

From Miatas to McLarens, we love them all. From track cars to Concours winners, they all serve a purpose…..to make us smile. No matter what they’re worth. No matter what badge they wear.
