Also in this episode, driving the Porsche 911 Dakar while feeling ill, busting open an ibuprofen scam, the wonders of Alcantara, the amazing mpg of a 300,000 mile Honda Insight, why the 911 Dakar isn’t called the Safari, getting your haircut by a convicted drug smuggler, the weird history of Bibendum, the puzzling Genesis GV60 and its enormous mirror adjuster, Jonny’s social media storm, a Range Rover Sport conundrum, and what does ICE stand for?

I'm tempted to slip the Smith and Smith remixes into my Radwood playlists, see if anyone notices. Heck the two of you should DJ at the next UK Radwood and include your own music on that sound of things.

2023-04-03 16:53:10 +0000 UTCListening to Richard talk about criminal barbers in (I assume) Bath reminded me that his slight obsession with the cars of 'Gold' has another link with Bath. One of the crims from the heist - John Palmer - lived in Bath at a house called Battlefields. This was their base of operations where they melted down the gold to hide their ill-gotten gains.

2023-03-30 02:07:19 +0000 UTCFor me... ICE will always be in car entertainment. I'd been brought up to know IC for internal combustion. I do have an entry in my phone for ICE (in case of emergency) with the number of a loved one should anything ever happen. I think, it was a recommendation in the 2000's by emergency services to do so.

2023-03-29 09:39:06 +0000 UTCICE is bull. It’s boring and clinical, almost german. Piston is vivid, fun and quirky, almost british. Minus the vivid part.

2023-03-29 08:03:37 +0000 UTCThis podcast has forever changed the lyrics to Florence and the machine song, kiss with a fist. I can only hear ''a kiss with a fist is better than none'' as ''a kick in the dick is better than Kahn''

2023-03-28 18:44:39 +0000 UTCICE will always be in car entertainment. In fact Internal Combustion Engine always irked me suggesting I can go buy an external combustion fiesta?! I'm not even that old either, just can't stand it when people use ICE to describe non EVs!

2023-03-27 14:39:42 +0000 UTCI would be happy to pay the premium for the wool blend, it does seem odd though. I never liked the vegan leather seats when I had my Tesla, I would've much preferred cloth or half-cloth. Land Rover XS half-cloth seats with the logo patten cloth will always be my favourite seats.

2023-03-27 09:20:28 +0000 UTCGerman intercity trains have ICE written on the side of them, I’m assuming that’s why intercity express is associated with ICE.

2023-03-27 09:13:10 +0000 UTCTest drove the ioniq5, EV6 and genesis to choose a replacement for our eNiro (tried other brands too, but Hyundai group were best value for money). Genesis was lovely place to be in but ev6 wins on practicality for me
Jay Russell
2023-03-27 08:59:09 +0000 UTC100% this. I work in a Pharma lab. Branded and unbranded get the same tests and are generally the same formulation.
Jay Russell
2023-03-27 08:30:20 +0000 UTCTotally agree on ‘vegan leather’ - STOP BRANDING VINYL AS A PREMIUM PRODUCT! Still traumatised by vinyl seats in summer in Malta in the 80s. Volvo does a nice wool blend for the electrical cars but it’s about a £1400+ option.

2023-03-27 08:01:14 +0000 UTCParents are GPs. Never buy branded painkiller products - just look for the active ingredient on the back. Sometimes the branded stuff and the supermarket own brand have the same Product Licence number - it’s the exact same pill inside!

2023-03-27 07:59:42 +0000 UTCI would pay to watch this

2023-03-27 06:16:25 +0000 UTCI've been waiting until I come up with something original for Jonny's alternative shows, think I've finally got it. The Fête Quake Show - Jonny goes up and down the country with an earthquake machine on a trailer, spoiling the fun at outdoor gatherings by shaking the shit out of everything. Sadly for the attendees, the earthquake machine's thrusting is powered by a stationary engine and it'll do it all day. This week he's at a big baking show in Cornwall making all the cakes collapse and causing Paul Hollywood to fall off a small podium - got the bastard.

2023-03-26 23:50:48 +0000 UTCInternal combustion = IC. Ice = dodgy diamonds.
Peter Heamon
2023-03-26 23:39:50 +0000 UTCICE for me is always In Car Entertainment . I refer to piston engines as combustion engines, and EVs as Duracell cars.

2023-03-26 23:29:37 +0000 UTCTbh in that situation a paracetamol is of fairly limited use

2023-03-26 22:13:49 +0000 UTCA pack of ibuprofen/paracetamol is about €10 here in Italy. Always stock up when I’m in the UK and get a few extra packs at the airport Boots along with my egg butty. They use it much more sparingly though, I’ve been in A&E here with blood gushing out of my and a doctor has given me a single 500mg paracetamol along with assurance that it’d make everything better.

2023-03-26 21:12:21 +0000 UTCMany years ago I worked for the guys who made Panadol here in Australia, and I’ll just say that even though the active ingredients (ie the stuff that actually does stuff) is the same between brand names and generics, the brand names make sure the rest of the shit that makes up a tablet breaks down quicker in your gut. Of course, all the targeted pain relief stuff is bollocks.

Ed Nicholson
2023-03-26 18:31:22 +0000 UTCGerman inter city trains use the marketing name 'ICE'. To me though, it's a pair of sub woofers and an amp making the panels rattle on a MK2 Astra GTE whilst belting out Kadoc's 'Night Train' at a retail park car park late at night.
