Show notes 151
Added 2023-03-19 12:41:01 +0000 UTCHello again. Here be some more show notes. In pics we start with Jonny at a model village. Look at his happy little face. Then we have the Algal Ranger, the infamous Tuxedo Princess in Newcastle, an Hyundai Equus being more interesting than a Veyron, Dark Thunder energy drink, one of those road salt storage domes, and the Citroen XM tape from listener Ollie Rix. Now, some links…

2023-03-28 21:07:09 +0000 UTCAs a resident American who was in his 20's during the 14% 4loko phase of the mid 2000's in New York City, I have quite a few horrendous stories revolving around losing literal days because of this. My personal favorite scenario involved a close friend named Chris Flower, Chris and I would purchase another incredibly awful malt liquor here called King Cobra, which was a mere 6% in comparison to the 4loko. We'd take the train into Queens and we'd take turns drinking each, which locally was known as a Hyper Viper, one fateful night we both ended up finishing our Hyper Vipers around 11pm, five or six hours earlier than anticipated. I woke up at the Coney Island stop with four very elderly women screaming while my friend seemed to be negotiating with a man for a Jamaican beef patty. I remember absolutely nothing about that night past telling a man he looked pear shaped and having to leave a place because he really didn't like it. 4loko was an incredible moment in alcohol.

2023-03-23 19:33:28 +0000 UTCJust want to say I’m appalled at Jonny getting dragged on Twitter by the Cycling militants. Disgusting. Hope it doesn’t get to you. You did nothing worth worrying about. Twitter is full of virtue signalling shitcunts. I say that as a cyclist that (should be/usually) does around 3000km a year.

2023-03-21 21:03:01 +0000 UTCThe algal ranger has 180k on the clock and up until recently was static or doing around 500miles a year. One year it did no miles at all - according to the MOT checker- so must have been parked in the MOT garage for a year without moving. Also a scary amount of corrossion on the 2022 to the extent that the rigidity of the assembly is significantly reduced floor areas.. is that almost a Flintstone situation?

2023-03-21 12:40:45 +0000 UTCThe discussion about cars in insurance adverts that look almost like a real car but don't - I've noticed they use a lot of Saabs in adverts for these purposes now, like if a car is broken down. Took me a few adverts like this to realise it's because Saab aren't exactly there to get upset and sue anyone. The great british public must now think that Saabs are unreasonably unreliable, which of course isn't true 😄

2023-03-20 12:57:59 +0000 UTCI work for an Electric Heating company and I can confirm that the word Rad does still indeed exist however it depends on which part of the country you’re from. It’s most common in the North West and seems to disappear again when you get into Scotland

2023-03-20 07:31:14 +0000 UTCThe tuxedo princess oh the memories piss washing down the corridors from the blocked toilets the banging beats and of course the rotating dance floor - it was a dive but the place to be early nineties - and yes now long gone. Also thanks Johnny my wife watched your MG4 review and bought one. Now apparantly I have to buy a home charge point 🙄

2023-03-19 13:52:30 +0000 UTCMy biggest regret was never stepping foot on the Tuxedo in Newcastle, it had a reputation of being a bit of a dive, especially it’s sticky revolving dance floor. I spent my youth on a Monday night for student night in Baja beach club along the road instead. Wish I had have just for the experience.
