Mike Brewer's World of Cars (2020)

Mike begins a journey of discovery about lowriders in East LA. He gets some experience with hydraulics and pinstriping, eats a burrito the size of a car battery, and cruises down Whittier Boulevard with the Lifestyle Car Club.

Mike ponders whether an old car loses its soul if the engine or body is replaced. He returns to England to visit British Motor Heritage, a company that produces genuine components for classic British cars like Minis and MGs.

Mike finds himself near Indianapolis at the home of NHRA Top Fuel champion Antron Brown. Antron shows him around the mammoth Don Schumacher Racing shop, but Mike as an ulterior motive for his visit: revenge.

Mike is in Chicago, home of famous movie cars, deep-dish pizza, and one of the US' foremost coachbuilders, Brian Limberg. The Tin Man keeps this bygone artform alive, building car bodies from scratch using old-school techniques.

Mike travels to the outskirts of Houston, Texas, to meet a father-son team who are experts in mud bogging, a motorsport that has to be seen to be believed. While there, he drives a monster truck for the first time in his life.

Mike looks at classic cars' future in a world with more electric cars. He travels to Oceanside, California, to EV West, a company that specializes in putting powerful electric motors into everything from Porsches to VW vans.

Mike travels to Charlotte, North Carolina, where bootleggers played an integral role in NASCAR's creation. Between barbecue joints and whiskey distilleries, he visits Bill Rhine, whose shop rescues and restores famous stock cars.

Lake Tahoe, California, is a resort area that's also a unique home for artists and dreamers. Renowned customizer Aaron Hagar teaches Mike that Tahoe is the kind of place where rat rods co-exist with vintage European sports cars.

Mike travels to the Midlands in England to visit two small shops that are helping keep classic cars on the road. Each produces small but essential components that can be hard to find, but otherwise they couldn't be more different.

Mike tours Detroit from behind the wheel of a Mustang GT350, taking in a broad sweep of automotive history, from the birthplace of the legendary Model T to a junkyard where wrecked cars find new life.

In Fresno, all Mike wants is a nice cold pint, and he's willing to pick grapes, become an expert on coil spring manufacturing, or even brew the beer himself to get one. Plus, he tries to buy a lovely '83 Mercedes turbodiesel.

Hot rodder Gene Winfield is one of the greatest customizers who ever lived. He's won just about every award in the custom car world, and he's run his own creations on the salt flats and dry lake beds where hot rodding was born.
