Podcast 163 - Hello London!
Added 2023-06-11 17:00:06 +0000 UTCIn front of an audience at the London Concours, Richard has a confession about his Range Rover and Jonny wonders what the hell he was doing walking in LA. Also in this episode, confusion about a popular podcast phrase, a listener’s troubling hand dryer story, the manual or auto game, playing CSI Tarpaulin in outer London, things that sound like high spec Peugeots, a fear of horses, people whose first names you never discover, bouncy castle injuries, a listener tells us a remarkable D-spec story, an unexpected scorpion, best TV car, the wheel-to-well argument, ambushed by Rich Energy, what would happen if No-name Full Suspension Mountain Bike Guy won the EuroMillions, a man in a TVR gilet, driving with no brakes, car for a gardening business, and a disastrous attempt to name Jonny’s latest solo YouTube channel.
Comments
@Richard interested in the mystery Range Rover vibration. But more informative is our different attitudes to potential issues. Maybe an audience poll next live event? Richard = don't risk it. My partner aligns with you, don't drive it. Jonny = carry on regardless. Me too. Drive until it stops , then call for rescue. Most times my car just "got better". My Range Rover has annoying shuddering which might be wheel / driveshaft or general drivetrain too.

2023-06-12 15:54:42 +0000 UTCI'm thinking it was rock or stick in the rear caliper.

2023-06-12 15:36:07 +0000 UTCHaha sods law - I sent in the pic of the troubling Dyson, which must have been discussed in the Wednesday recording. I attended the Thursday (front row, suggested the Ford Ecoboost as an example of automotive shittiness) or I would have piped up about the, erm, dryer pipe ban! EDIT: Maybe not, seems I was not alone in sharing that little gem!

2023-06-12 09:28:46 +0000 UTCThere are at least a couple of colonies of scorpions in the UK. One at Sheerness docks in Kent living in the walls and one at the old East India docks in London. Refugees off the boats apparently. Lots of cars and parts come through Sheerness, maybe Jonny's brother had a part from there?

2023-06-12 07:56:31 +0000 UTCHow does Jonny’s Charger not have a dual circuit master cylinder? They were federally mandated after 1966 in the USA. Funny story regardless.

2023-06-11 22:38:49 +0000 UTCI'm sure that quite often I'm one of those "inexplicable smilers" at the wheel. Almost always, the reason is that I'm listening to this podcast while driving.
