The Grey NATO – 282 – Thomas Holland II (Throttle House, Land Cruisers, Costa Rica Diving, Overlanding, and More)

With Jason galavanting aboard a ship in the Pacific this week, the TGN Boys needed a someone to fill in and thankfully our pal Thomas Holland accepted the challenge. This is Thomas’ second time on the show (his debut was for episode 237) and he is one half of the hosting team of Throttle House, an incredible Youtube channel and online community dedicated to all things automotive. If you like cars you almost certainly already know Throttle House, but if not, be sure to hit the links below.

James and Thomas take the opportunity to chat about a great many topics including the revival of the boxy SUV, how not to jump a Toyota Land Cruiser in the desert, diving and driving in Costa Rica, and many sport watches. As always, it was a treat to have Thomas on the show and please stay tuned as Thomas and James also recorded a special mini episode all about the new Ineos Grenadier that will hit your feeds once the Throttle House video is live on Youtube.

Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have bringing the sunset inside while you cheer on a racecar driver hellbent on beating Hitler.
