Podcast 172 - Wake me up before you R5 Turbo
Added 2023-08-13 17:01:00 +0000 UTCJonny and Richard remember the racing career of Andrew Ridgeley. Also in this episode, trying to recall the plot of Shaft, a towel-based dilemma, a John Wick theory from someone who’s never seen any of the John Wick films, news about Volvo’s decision to stop selling saloons and estates in the UK, a trip to depreciation corner, the problem with the new Toyota Land Cruiser, the cockroach car favoured by a professional mechanic, a K11 Micra doing a Morgan Aero 8 impression, the wonderful world of Kei cars, life in flip flops, a Timothy Dalton XK8, more news from headlight renouncers, and the surprisingly large range of Brut products.

2023-08-25 21:28:43 +0000 UTCThe flip flop is the de rigueur choice of footwear for a lot of Eastern European truckers. We delight on asking if they are steel toe-capped when they arrive into our depot and pitter-patter across the yard amid the chaos of feet crushing forklifts.

2023-08-15 09:37:48 +0000 UTCMy friend had a series of E250 Forrrrts handicap vans to tow his Pinto race car to the track. He used the ramp to get his massive toolbox out of the van.

2023-08-14 15:37:42 +0000 UTCYou're welcome, I didn't know about them until I saw that video. My view of the Jazz changed after seeing that car being cleaned up, there's a lot to like really.

2023-08-14 05:56:09 +0000 UTCWeirdly enough, about 5 minutes after you'd finished talking about Flip Flops not making life better, I saw a sign on GTA 5 that said 'flip flops will not be tolerated! Wear appropriate footwear big metal things are around'

2023-08-13 22:49:31 +0000 UTCI know of a good demo video, if you go to the Autoshine Cars YouTube channel and go to 9:44 on his latest video, he shows them off. Similar to old Discovery 1 side-folding third row seats.

2023-08-13 20:05:01 +0000 UTCCould someone post a pic of these magic seats?!?

2023-08-13 19:15:20 +0000 UTCNew Land Cruiser looks great, I'd actually get one. Anyway every time I listen to the new track 'Algorithms' by Kasabian I keep hearing 'Algal rhythms'. Do you think the Leicester lads would do an alternate version for the Sniff Shafte podcast, from inside a manky Luton body Transit?

2023-08-13 19:07:51 +0000 UTCIt was Sniff...

2023-08-13 19:03:31 +0000 UTCMarked down for no Flip-Flop Cops reference in relation to the life-improving powers of flip flops 😩 Come on Jonny (who I think originally floated it) It’ll never get commissioned at this rate…! 😭 Plug, plug, plug!

2023-08-13 18:36:45 +0000 UTCExcellent show chaps. I've now locked into a similar routine to listen, cold beer, freshly shaved with lashings of Brut.

2023-08-13 18:36:33 +0000 UTCIs that a new record for getting on to the subject of poo in a car podcast?
