From The Late Brake Show.

Greg James – My Secret Love of Cars . Welcome to a very special Idol Chat interview on The Late Brake Show with BBC Radio 1 breakfast’s Greg James. Greg and Jonny Smith have been friends for a while, but when Greg wanted to find and buy his dream car, Jonny offered to help. The car? A E34 M5 BMW, just like the car seen in Ronin. The ultimate ’90s super saloon? Greg reckons so.

Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

Greg and Jonny spent the afternoon driving his BMW and talking about the Radio One DJ’s secret obsession with cars throughout his life – often appreciating the mundane and normal cars during his childhood. Greg doesn’t do interviews very often, so we want to say a huge thank you for agreeing to make this. Want Jonny and Greg to do more on TLBS? Let us know in the comments!
