Getting their mitts on some serious motoring gems, Three Men Four Wheels takes an exclusive look behind the scenes of some of the most thrilling vehicles ever built, such as the eye wateringly expensive Porsche 911 S-T, Colin McRae’s 555 world famous machine and possibly the greatest F1 car ever, the Lotus 72.
With access to extremely rare cars, they go where cameras have never filmed before at the Porsche Motorsport Garage, housing more than £100million worth of cars as well as gaining rare access to Ten Tenths, the private car collection of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.

Three Men Four Wheels: Episode Breakdown
1. The Ferrari F40…with Drew, who hates it, struggling to get into the car due to an ill-fitting race suit.
2. The Stovebolt Special. A one of a kind car that holds a very special place in Drew’s heart.
3. The Lotus 72. The greatest F1 car ever built? Marino is given ultra exclusive access to a very special machine.
4. The Mini. Not only do we meet the Monte Carlo winning car (and drive it), we also get to hang out with the legend Paddy Hopkirk – at his house!
5. The Aston Martin Ulster. A divisive episode, which also features Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason.
6. Porsche 911 ST. Not just any 911, this one is hyper-rare and eye wateringly expensive.
7. Subrau Impreza – Colin McRae’s 555 world famous machine. A very special episode where Marino gets to drive his old friends iconic car, and remember the legend of Colin.
8. Bugatti T35. Another special car for Drew…who instantly attempts to buy it, only to be given a children’s replica.
9. Jaguar XJ220. The car which probably divided the gang most of all, but which brought the Welsh hills alive when we tested it on track.
10. The Nasty Habit Hot Rod. So dangerous Marino refused to get in it, and it set the track on fire! Literally!
