What does it actually take to behave yourself at a car show? Mark Richardson sits down with veteran automotive journalist, car show judge, and longtime enthusiast Dan Scanlan to dig into the etiquette that separates the seasoned showgoers from the ones everyone’s quietly glaring at. Whether you’re a first-time spectator or a seasoned competitor, some of what they cover might surprise you. Dan brings more than a rulebook to the table — he brings decades of stories from the show field and the judge’s clipboard, including one unforgettable near-miss at the Amelia Concours that had his camera inches from an irreplaceable classic. Mark also serves up a fresh update on his projects and the latest on his friend Sean Roe, whose story has become one of the emotional threads running through this entire season.
