## Resource

For the final episode of season 3, Very Vehicular is delighted to present none other than TJ Hunt ! Rolling up to the studio in a minty white V8 Vantage, with the all-time longest Very Vehicular episode record firmly in his sights, TJ hasn’t come to play, he’s here to win! In a departure from form, Scotto has the mic turned around on him as TJ unleashes his pent-up questions in desperate need of answers. This reverse interview has it all: origin stories, the dawn of YouTube, the art of growing a business (and what happens when you lose one!), love, loss and identity, even movies: it’s practical therapy, people! So unhook your phone (shout out, landline generation), slip out to grab some milk & cigarettes, do whatever you must - this episode is not to be missed! Most of all? As ever, enjoy. @TJHunt @BrianScotto @321ActionAction Partners: Vyper Industrial FCP Euro Heatwave Visual Wera Tools KW Suspension Producer : Nick Rutter @nickrutterarts Music : SlikSound Patreon : https://patreon.com/u37266647 https://bio.site/321actionaction podcasts@321actionaction.com 00:00 - Welcome & Introduction 00:36 - Heat Wave Visual & KW Suspensions 02:15 - The Name’s Hunt… TJ Hunt (that new Vantage) 05:10 - California Cop Stories 08:45 - That Time TJ Was in a Ford GT Commercial 10:45 - Early Days on YouTube and Vlogging 19:11 - BRZ Forums and Blackjack 23:22 - A Shift of Business Mindset 30:30 - GT3 Conversions.
