Welcome to Driving Time a podcast where horology meets the automotive world. Join Tom and Teesaan as they stumble their way through cars and watches and everything in between. This episode we have Charith part time assistant vice grand wizard of Red Bar Melbourne and part time film consultant for Letterboxed and the lazy half of popcorn (@Charithsir) and he and Teesaan hijack half the episode to discuss sports and baseball movies. We also wrap up the Aus GP touch on how braking systems work in quite a vague manor, a bit of Formula Drift coverage as well as Charith’s Car History and Dream Drive
