Could Top Gear Even Exist Today? Topic Roulette With The Ballast Boys - Video

The Ballast Boys are Back … again! Who doesn’t love a hang with the boys and quickly becoming regulars on Very Vehicular, Ron Zaras and Vin Anatra are here to play a little Topic Roulette with Scotto. Without giving too much away, the gang dive into the issues facing car culture, reveal some lukewarm takes (his own words!) and as ever, give each other a healthy dose of shit-talk. Enjoy!
