Podcast 178 - A heavy session with the Captain
Added 2023-09-24 17:00:04 +0000 UTCJonny needs to fix his leaking Hondas. Also in this episode, drift-spec plane landings, unusual airline seat arrangements, Branson’s printed boarding pass, a celebrity spot at Santa Pod, sleeping in a Honda Element, terrible Chevrolets, a slightly boastful Daewoo Matiz being sold from a neat house, Richard’s ongoing Panda woes, the rare Kia Magentis atomatic, a night time roundabout incident, the problem with the Kia EV6 GT, motorway balloon chaos, very dusty van interiors, and airport vehicles with snorkels.

I was 100% sure I saw Branson collecting car keys at 5am from Purple Parking at Gatwick, early this year. I’m now 50% sure it was the same Bargain Branson you saw.

2023-09-25 23:51:06 +0000 UTCMocha is a humble, good egg, takes many cars around " the Ring"..... Racing too with other yt presenters... Jimmy shed BROADBENT, AND STEVE GT.... he also works at Apex Racing at the Ring Two years ago he spent a lot of time helping dig out flooded Germans If he bends other people's cars whilst driving them at the Ring, he pays to have them fixed. So all round decent guy, who could probably beat Hamilton in the same car round t' RING

2023-09-25 23:48:13 +0000 UTCRegarding auto-generated sub titles... If you find yourself with very little to do, perhaps whilst sitting in uncomfortable silence on an aircraft (in)convenience, you may like to try the "Guess the regional accent from the YouTube preview sub-titles Game". A catchy tag line I know, but it gets the gist across, on that side of things.

2023-09-25 19:08:23 +0000 UTC….and to not totally disregard him just based on the claims, imo he is actually pretty humble and sensible. Caught one of the podcast which he was the guest.

David Carss
2023-09-25 09:25:22 +0000 UTCOn the Merch side of things, can we have a CD compilation of Jonny's engine impressions. The atomatic Kia with aftermarket pipes was exactly as I imagined it.
John Hammond
2023-09-25 08:49:02 +0000 UTCHe's definitely a useful driver, but the Hamilton claim seemed a bit much.
Smith and Sniff
2023-09-25 08:42:58 +0000 UTCInteresting, but yeah, you can feel the scoring on the cylinder walls. Think I've found a cheap but working engine to transplant... Richard
Smith and Sniff
2023-09-25 08:41:03 +0000 UTCRegarding Richard’s Panda woes- coolant leaking into the cylinder can end up doing a remarkable job of cleaning the piston crown as it washes over the deposits before being vaporised. If the combustion chamber and valve heads appear equally quite clean, then I’d say it’s unlikely to be a “new” piston, just a serious-enough head gasket failure. Lines in the bore aren’t worth being too concerned with unless you can feel them with your fingernail- what are the other 3 cylinders like?
Danny Hunt
2023-09-25 08:04:04 +0000 UTCHe claims he would be faster around there than Hamilton and Verstappen in the same car. He’s deluded. He’s a very decent driver, but he’s bent a few cars

2023-09-25 03:21:23 +0000 UTChaha dont get to hear newcastle under lyme very often, I should really be n-u-lnick these days after moving there from stoke last may.

2023-09-24 21:59:35 +0000 UTCNo, your piss doesn't drift down to earth, nor does it help the engines. It goes into a tank which is emptied on the ground.

Nathan English
2023-09-24 19:52:09 +0000 UTCThe crashes although unfortunate, not entirely his fault either.
Nathan English
2023-09-24 19:51:25 +0000 UTCThink he's actually Russian, though based in Germany (at the Nürburgring).
Declan Berridge
2023-09-24 19:49:59 +0000 UTCAnd German, not British!!!

2023-09-24 19:10:37 +0000 UTCMisha’s actually a very competent driver, lads.
