  • Bonus Episode: We reflect on a rainy Goodwood Revival 2024.
    Sep 24 2024

    Join us for a lighthearted look back at Goodwood Revival 2024.
    Andy was there on a very damp Friday, and Jon enjoyed a slightly drier visit with his wife on the Saturday.
    Talk wafts from first impressions, through to ticket touts, the use of cigars as a celebratory token, our friend Tim Crighton (previous guest) scoring pole position in an Austin Healey, and following that up with a stellar battle on track in the race, bagging a frustrating second place (as the race was red flagged whilst he was leading).
    We take a tangent on Oasis, and have a foray into F1 too.
    We hope you enjoy it!

    Join us on Tuesday 15th October when Season 5 gets underway!

  • Bonus Episode: We discuss new registrations, personal number plates, novelty fonts and more!
    Sep 17 2024

    Join us for a quick chat 'off topic' on the subject of number plates.
    This came up when we spoke to Danny James, and this bonus episode was born out of the out-takes from that recording session, along with a more structured secondary discussion to fill in the gaps.

    We hope it keeps you mildly entertained!

    Stay tuned, Season 5 will be with you shortly!

  • Sheridan 'We Blog Any Car' : Dad was a mechanic. Homework at a main dealer workshop. Vauxhall Viva, Audi 100, Cavalier, Mk1 Golf, Fiat 131 S4E10
    Sep 3 2024

    Join us for a great chat with Sheridan from We Blog Any Car for a trip down memory lane.
    It starts with his Dad's Vauxhall Viva in bright metallic green (with the obligatory vinyl roof), and in juxtaposition, his colleagues and customers Audi 100s with their 5 cylinder engines.
    His Dad didn't drive fast (whilst listening to country music or Boney-M on his Pioneer radio cassette with electric aerial) but he was fond of a wheelspin in the wet, and once tried to race a Mazda RX7...
    After the Viva came a brown Mk2 Cavalier saloon, which he later 'facelifted' with parts from work. A bit like the 'One bit at a time' song by Jonny Cash.

    Much to our joy, the Citroen BX comes up in discussion, belonging to a teacher at school. Likewise a Mk1 Golf GTI with which the keys were trusted to Sheridan to go and retrieve things by his teacher, should any school stuff be left inside during lessons.

    Talk then changes to suggestions for classic cars and investment cars of the future. The Mk1 Audi TT is Andy's choice, Sheridan albeit with bias is backing the Alfa GTV and Spyder of the late nineties.
    We discuss what cars need to have or not have to make the cut, and we feel part of this is a lack of availability, perhaps having fallen out of favour or been a bit rubbish when first available. The MG ZR or the Proton Satria GTI might just make the mark.

    We hope you enjoy this episode (one of our longest to date) and if you do, please consider supporting us by buying a coffee or donating on a monthly basis.
