| 0:00.0 | Hello and an all and welcome to Behind the Glass, your weekly automated podcast hosted by two rather uninformed enthusiasts. |
| 0:09.0 | No, no, no, no. I'm Sam from the YouTube channel at Scene 2 Glass. |
| 0:13.0 | I'm Tony from Gravelwood Car South and you can watch us each week. We hope you enjoy the episode. |
| 0:18.0 | Well, this is a little bit different. Welcome to the first ever Behind the Glass press day experience. |
| 0:31.0 | Well, this is going to go well. |
| 0:34.0 | We've been teasing this for a while, but in case you missed our most recent episodes, Tony and I have joined the Maserati UK press tour for the day. |
| 0:43.0 | We decided to bring all of you along with us. This is the first time we've ever recorded a podcast on the go. |
| 0:50.0 | Yeah, we've got none of our usual gear. I mean, hopefully you can hear us. It could be a complete disaster. |

| 1:16.0 | And I thought, well, it could be interesting to bring Tony along with me on, but I'm sort of immediately regretting. |
| 1:23.0 | Maserati's probably a perfect place to start as well. Maybe. Why would you say? |
| 1:28.0 | Well, I mean, you've got to start somewhere. I guess. |
| 1:31.0 | Well, actually, let's just get straight into that because we are now an hour into your first ever press day. |
| 1:39.0 | Yeah, what were your thoughts? Well, I was a saint. |
| 1:42.0 | And that's what you want to explain to people what we've experienced so far. |
| 1:46.0 | Well, yeah. So we were right to this beautiful man of house, lovely place in the middle of Birmingham. |
| 1:53.0 | Yeah, we're, we're solid. |
| 1:55.0 | Solid is outside Birmingham in the middle of the UK. |
| 1:58.0 | Yeah, I would say that we were greeted by some, some croissants and some breakfast, some lovely people at the desk said, good morning. |
| 2:08.0 | We had a nice coffee. We had a little sit down. We met some people journalists. |
