Show notes 170
Added 2023-07-30 17:01:02 +0000 UTCReally there's nothing can top the lead image here, of Jonny at his desk in the CAR magazine office after some jocular colleagues had turned his chair into an enormous set of genitals. But, just for fun, we've also got an image of the Simply Saab logo and unwieldy slogan, a no-name full suspension mountain bike being inspected at the Bicester live show, Audi A2 and Honda NSX trailer cars, a couple of shots of the saucy Metro GTa, a Subaru Brat ad, and a bit that didn't make the podcast in which Jonny boldly Woollarded the rear wheel of the Tamiya Wild One MAX.
Just between us and you lovely Patrons, we're taking a break from live shows for August but hope to be back in September with another OTLOT.

I've oiled the chains of other neglected but still used bikes kept next to mine in apartment building shared parking garages before

2025-02-06 17:46:21 +0000 UTC"Take another little piece of my Saab" sung by one of those people who break cars in their driveway and advertise a single wheel nut on eBay along with "EVERYTHING AVAILABLE" and very stern warnings not to actually bid on the auction

2024-10-10 20:08:05 +0000 UTCThinking about the dryness of cycle chains, I'm sure there's a derivative of the ghost wheel detailer who could oil chains in and around Cambridge of a night.

2023-08-07 06:23:24 +0000 UTCIt's a hard one to deal with. A little trick i have seen in live shows of the past is to simply switch the microphone off for a moment, clarify the question and then repeat it once the microphone is back on. You almost dont even notice it's happening as an audience member and it makes it far less awkward for all involved.

2023-08-06 22:46:09 +0000 UTCIs there a nemesis of the no name mountain bike guy that lives say a van, but tools around on a no name hard tail mountain bike as they don't believe in any of that modern shit. The bike would have bar ends and be stuck in one gear even though they found it with 18 gears. Also, to protect it saddle from the rain they'd have a bread bad covering it instead of the standard carrier bag. Does this person exist? FIND ANOTHER

2023-08-05 10:34:53 +0000 UTCI think I’d have to have a scale canal, with tiny no name suspension bike, sat atop a tiny canal boat

2023-08-02 12:14:56 +0000 UTCLooking at the No-name Full Suspension mountain bike, from behind the laptop, it looks like the bike could be a De-Badged Raleigh Yukon.

2023-08-01 15:05:22 +0000 UTCOh I would do anything for SAAB, but I won't do that! 🎸🎹🤘

2023-08-01 13:58:06 +0000 UTCMy driving instructor had a metro GTa. It was the coolest learner car for miles...
Zoona
2023-08-01 13:12:38 +0000 UTCWhat does the note on Jonny’s desk mean? Was he under orders to promote Rover’s little x-over?
Rob
2023-08-01 09:50:47 +0000 UTCYeah, absolutely - could feel the light panic. Anyway, good to know we're answering for ourselves now!
Tom Elliott-Mell
2023-08-01 09:17:52 +0000 UTCYeah, I listened back and couldn't understand what the chap said. I think unfortunately Richard and Jonny might also not have and couldn't ask him to repeat himself as it was live.

2023-08-01 09:15:04 +0000 UTCSimply Saab also had a Mini spares business, Simply Mini which specialised in the BMW era Minis. They seem to have knocked that on the head in favour of concentrating on Saabs in the last couple of years.
John Hammond
2023-08-01 05:29:00 +0000 UTCThe biggest, smallest Ferris wheel and a fully functional cotton mill.
Andrew Armstrong
2023-07-31 20:07:04 +0000 UTCFeeling a bit sorry for the guy with the little speech impediment who asked about what would be in your dream model village not getting an answer... Not least because I can't stop thinking now about what would be in my own dream model village. Huge scrap heap, that's for starters. And a monorail.
Tom Elliott-Mell
2023-07-31 17:32:41 +0000 UTCI'm working away from home atm in Thornaby near Middlesbrough. There's a Jeep/Chrysler/Fiat dealership here that still has faded Saab signage down one side of it
John Bob
2023-07-30 22:26:13 +0000 UTCThe Simply SAAB Logo needs to licenced and made into merch. Proceeds back to simply SAAB , or charity.
Peter Agius
2023-07-30 22:13:33 +0000 UTCI didn't know Damon Hill sold Metros
Simon Barrett
2023-07-30 18:45:41 +0000 UTCHaving been the owner of 4 car ended food trailers I must say that NSX must try harder. The mini’s are cute yet predictable, the landrover pick up bed trailer bouncy but the triumph dolomite cocktail bar was definitely the classiest.
Rich
2023-07-30 17:09:42 +0000 UTCAh the famous cock & balls chair. I’m assuming gags like that were fairly normal judging by how un phased Jonny seems to be by it
Conor McCahey
2023-07-30 17:05:49 +0000 UTCHow have they done a better job on an A2 than the NSX, front is a mess.
