Vigilante car detailing

Jonny has an idea for spreading a little kindness and Richard now lives in a noisy Kia neighbourhood. Also in this episode, vehicular Vocoders, unexpectedly good heel and toeing cars, racing driver yoga, Helmsman's mayonnaise, the Die Cast Donor, and once-a-year irritant Flant Flanstead. Plus, falling down a wormhole with the Knight Rider Historians, putting the General Lee in context, how a train crash made for better eighties action show stunts, and a strange spin-off show for Mr T.

Du Sporrrrrrrrrrgh

Jonny has been driving the Peugeot 508 Sport Engineering while Richard has been having gin-fuelled thoughts about the GR Yaris.

Plus, Martin Brundle’s superleggera necklace, a confusion at the Singer factory, tricking a horrible grandma with a seatbelt, and thoughts on the Voltswagen debacle.  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

JDM nonsense

Jonny has been offered some rotten weirdness. Also in this episode, sending Sir Jackie Stewart a Ford Scorpio full of tat for his birthday, mice treating dead insects like crisps, why The A-Team was better than Knight Rider, the return of a missing tortoise, and would you rather have a car full of wasps or locusts? Plus, the Citroen e-C4, some Renault Avantime facts, how Supergrass came to perform Richard III on Top Gear, Jonny's deranged house demolition plan, and why Richard's new Range Rover is already in the garage.

Starting quietly

Jonny and Richard start this episode by paying tribute to Sabine Schmitz and Murray Walker. Later, talk turns to a Mercedes with knackered dampers in an advert, getting injured by a SEAT Marbella, the stern warnings from parents on foreign holidays, a camper top catastrophe on the Severn Bridge, driving on the wrong side of the road disasters, the new Kia EV6 being a mullet car, Steve Backshall keeping snakes away from Bon Jovi, why the Nissan 370Z is like a Pizza Express vase of ice cream, a Citroen Saxo special edition game, and would you own an Aston Martin?

That's a negative, lawnrider

Jonny has been mowing the grass and driving some new cars. Also in this episode, the exploding Megabus of rockets, splashing on the Brut, the great smells of summer, things you see from trains, the story of a lost GoPro camera, the perils of light coloured steering wheels, and how are animals still alive? Plus, thoughts on the VW Golf GTE, the Skoda Enyaq, and the current Porsche 911 with a manual gearbox, and Richard has collected his supercharged Range Rover.

Beer festival waistcoat Croc Dundee hat and ponytail man

That chap you always see at real ale events. He probably has a mark 1 Discovery. Also in this episode, more on F1 drivers trolling track days, the badly advertised bounty of Gumtree, failing to address Peugeot's new logo, accidentally treading dog muck into your car, and Richard's dislike of the Mitsubishi Evo X. Plus, why the base-model Porsche Taycan is a brilliant four-door gecko, which car The Scorpions Wind of Change make you think of, Morgans that won't start unless you're wearing a tweed cap, and the tricky laundry regimes of 1980s soft rock bands. Oh, and Jonny has a buying tip about first generation BMW Minis. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lewis Hamilton's trackday Discovery 2

F1 drivers terrorising track days in totally unsuitable cars. Also in this episode, the stress of waiting for an MOT result, the relentless underachievement of the Smith and Sniff YouTube channel, commissioning bespoke supercars with ordinary shells, the dark world of Ulysses 31, having to explain the modern world to someone from the 11th century, and Jonny's strong views about valet parking. Plus, some actual car content for a change including discussions about the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Land Rover Defender V8, the McLaren Artura, and Gordon Murray's T.50s Niki Lauda.

Bum-faced airship incident

Richard has put a deposit on a new family car, sight unseen. Also in this episode, Bruce Springsteen's cold hands, KFC translation mishaps, American car advert small print, trying to drive a ridiculously big truck, Ford's fake overhangs, ZF and Zeppelins, a bum-faced airship incident, enjoying spoken German, dressing like you listen to The Levellers, an unwanted waltzer sofa, and what's the deal with wicker furniture?

Harry's all-night Garage

Jonny and Richard have a new spin-off idea for Harry Metcalfe. Two, if you count Harry’s UK Garage. Also in this episode, earning money from storing pre-reg cars, getting called a ‘silly’ by a landlord, spotting a drunk ghost working in a West Country nightclub, and that time Richard saw a blimp, a stealth bomber and Chaka Khan on the same day. Plus, top 1930s diplomat Tokyo Cedric, the Toyota Hilux Surf, Greasy Mark’s mk2 Escort van, pouring one out for the GT86, and Technics v Kenwood in the battle of the ‘90s raver bomber jackets. Warning; this podcast contains Jonny’s strident views on Star Wars.  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
