Fraser Martin With licences for most things on two wheels or more, our resident car man talks to car people from the industry, motor sport and the media about cars they have driven or only seen pictures of. With licences for most things on two wheels or more, Fraser Martin is our resident car nut and has a huge supply of useless information relating to cars he has driven or only seen pictures of. If you have a trivia question, he will be able to answer it, or if not, give you a very good reason for why you should get a life, since you will be worse than him! Guests from motor sport, the motor industry or people who are just interested in cars, visit the studio for a bit of banter on all things automotive.
