2023-08-02 18:17:00 +0000 UTCDid you hear the guy who was providing the commentary on the show arena? Lots of "lovely lovely motor cars" and really blatent Xenophobia towards my mk1 Twingo of which I heard "that's just typical of the French".
John Hammond
2023-06-30 08:49:56 +0000 UTCGoing through some of the older pods.. could the airbrushed C6 be the old French ambassador to Ireland C6 talked about in pod 116?

2023-06-29 08:52:51 +0000 UTCA good friend of mine has a Honda Beat in Obligatory Yellow. It's an absolute hoot to drive and such a cheerful car. I can fit in it and I'm 6 foot and not exactly slight of build. Wasn't graceful getting in and out, mind. Here it is with my Rover 216... https://www.instagram.com/p/CiOHHEmI-YZ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

2023-06-28 20:55:50 +0000 UTCI did admire the static engine, but only from afar lest I got splattered with goose fat. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2023-06-28 09:53:47 +0000 UTCYour Haki-facts are wrong! He retired after the 2001 season, Wikipedia in lying shocker!
Vincent Grey
2023-06-28 08:53:51 +0000 UTC+1 for a NYC podcast. Florida based, but will fire up the All Days and Onions tiller steer steam engine 👍🏻

2023-06-28 01:55:24 +0000 UTCI am in Philadelphia (about 1.5hrs from NYC) and would absolutely come to a New York OTLOT if put on, as would a couple friends of mine from elsewhere in the U.S. Would love to see an American OTLOT happen!

2023-06-27 15:58:43 +0000 UTCIt was going all weekend long, that's all I can say.
John Hammond
2023-06-27 09:02:37 +0000 UTCJonny has a solo Youtube channel. It's called the Defecate Blockade Show, in which he presents an interesting and informational programme while keeping a straight face as a restless King Tut stirs within his sarcophagus. If that's not to your tastes... By the way, an actual potential Late Brake show might be with Honda UK's heritage fleet, which includes a Sir Stirling Moss owned mid-engined Honda: an Acty micro-van. I'm sure you could get the keys to it.
Brendan McAleer
2023-06-27 01:36:44 +0000 UTCI'm totally with you Jonny on the BMW M2 et al. They are so ugly their very existence offends me. As one of my friends says, it's visual pollution.
Kristof Kiraly
2023-06-26 21:26:19 +0000 UTCBrilliant, just watched this
Anthony Daniels
2023-06-26 21:23:13 +0000 UTCNyc please. Or sweet sweet leafy New Jersey where I live. But I could cope with nyc. I also have no friends. But I think that may be a common theme with your listenership.
Zoona
2023-06-26 21:17:46 +0000 UTCOr more selfishly, the San Francisco / Monterey Bay Area in August for all our various car gatherings? I can't promise much other than very solid taqueria recommendations in the area, and venue ideas.

2023-06-26 17:27:32 +0000 UTCHis Finnish replacement had come and gone at McLaren by 2008!
Jacob Meltzer
2023-06-26 17:25:05 +0000 UTCPlease please please come to NYC! I don’t have 100 friends to bring, but I’ll arrive in a Ford Traaaaaanssitt!

2023-06-26 14:57:08 +0000 UTCThe talk of Stirling Moss as a landlord reminded me there’s a great 70s era clip of him giving a tour of his house. He had the most amazing amount of technology installed in his home for the time. Here it is from the BBC archives: https://twitter.com/bbcarchive/status/1345346604966952961?s=46&t=IlzGHy_w-mwgE1Rpa4BMpA
Chris Wyman
2023-06-26 12:42:10 +0000 UTCTotally understand why the Karaoke had the "Mr Elton John" bit in it. I think that live version of the song was on like NOW 23 which I had on CD and when you hear it over and over it's just part of the song. What a great performance from George though. Wow.

2023-06-26 11:55:59 +0000 UTCStirling Moss was a Twizzy guy! https://youtu.be/YxJc-_xoEzs
Anthony Daniels
2023-06-26 09:42:16 +0000 UTCWas it a mucky stationary engine or do they only do that when in groups?
Matt Tester
2023-06-26 08:58:28 +0000 UTCSurprised no one has said it yet but Mika retired in 2001, not 2008. Famously he said he was going to take a sabbatical - one that is still going
Jordan Mulach
2023-06-26 06:38:15 +0000 UTCI saw the Citroen at the Baff / Barth festival of motoring, more importantly Richard did you admire the solitary stationary engine on display?
John Hammond
2023-06-25 21:27:36 +0000 UTC😂😂
Chris Jarrett
2023-06-25 21:19:18 +0000 UTCI thought it was Peugeots that were supposed to have the Lion on the front?!
Adam
2023-06-25 18:32:35 +0000 UTCI've seen that C6! It was parked up at a show in Chepstow, not IN the show, just the car park. Sweet sweet lion
Simon Barrett
2023-06-25 17:09:58 +0000 UTCApropos, we test drove the range topping 408 and whilst it looked beautiful on the outside the interior did not match up. Coupled with the bonkers finance cost, we passed. Will continue to admire them when I see them. OTSOT.
