Show notes 137
Added 2022-12-04 18:01:01 +0000 UTCWe start this week with a pic of the Suzuki Solio Bandit. Yes, it’s a real thing. So is the Toyota Voxy. Here’s a photo of that too. Then we have Richard feeling sorry for himself wrapped in a blanket during recording, DJ Khaled inviting you to sleep with his shoes, the Air Wolf and Airstream Vitesse dryers, and some Nutisal Sporty Mix. Finally, a listener’s nice-looking Passat W8, a Honda E and an Allegro. Now, some links…

Comments
One for the talbot appreciation society. We were Solara people. Nothing as racy as the alpine. Two wheezy 1.3ltr carbureted Solaras. Before moving into cavaliers then Renaults 9, 11, 21 and onto Peugeot 405s. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5698627793567391/

2022-12-29 00:33:13 +0000 UTCRe big dogs and their cars - I new a guy with two Newfoundlands (think St Bernard, but fluffier) and he used to drive them about in a battered Berlingo
Richard Major
2022-12-08 21:09:59 +0000 UTCRich, if someone on pistonheads is using your name, can you find out theirs, and use that? You could be a bit of an arse in his name. He might not like it. Get well soon, Marcel Boulangerie.

2022-12-07 20:44:27 +0000 UTCDon't 911s still have cruise control stalks?
Steve Harris
2022-12-07 12:19:56 +0000 UTCForeign bag of peanuts. Best cockney insult so far.
Cornish Rider
2022-12-07 07:12:57 +0000 UTCI might have to trade mark it :D
Stephen Voss
2022-12-07 04:39:40 +0000 UTCCars with a cruise control stalk 2022 Skoda superb. Also whilst at beamish are you going round the outdoor museum?

2022-12-06 20:29:21 +0000 UTCBe careful of the Airstream Vitesse mk1 which will shoot flames if you suddenly stop moving your hands mid-dry. The mk2 has redesigned suspension.

2022-12-06 17:25:56 +0000 UTCI nearly googled “Ratarsed” because, in my pre-coffee discombobulation, I thought it was a new proprietary cold and flu remedy, like Lemsip… 🤣
Martin Laver
2022-12-06 08:14:47 +0000 UTCMaybe We Imagined Eggs, the lost Simple Minds track.
Brendan McAleer
2022-12-06 05:14:41 +0000 UTCSure fire cure for getting rid of the flu, get ratarsed, I find whiskey the best, it doesn't always work I have to admit, but if you are going to feel like crap it might as well be for a decent reason. Also eating snot is meant to stop colds and flu, it's a great bit of info because those annoying people who say they never get colds and flu.. they most like mine their nose gold and eat it.

2022-12-06 03:21:15 +0000 UTC... who lives in a shoe store, apparently.
Colin Kao
2022-12-06 03:16:36 +0000 UTCI would be blissfully unaware of his existence if it weren't for these meddling kids!
Damian
2022-12-06 00:54:26 +0000 UTCWhile I’m not in any way a fan of DJ Khaled, I find this constant mockery of the man a little tiring. It’s almost…personal at this point. Clearly something has happened between you two and the multi award winning generic music producer. Time to just lay it all on the table.

2022-12-05 23:56:01 +0000 UTCIt was 👍

2022-12-05 17:00:53 +0000 UTCI'll take that as a compliment. R

2022-12-05 16:53:35 +0000 UTCIn regards to the Honda e looking like an Allegro, Every time I see a Peel P50 I am instantly reminded of a Tesla model Y and vice versa....
Alistair Neish
2022-12-05 15:45:28 +0000 UTCThat Passat looks decent and honest, DJ Khaled looks like a hoofwanking bunglecunt.
Patrick Rennison
2022-12-05 15:08:06 +0000 UTCI bought a Honda E purely because of Jonny's famed review of it....and because I do like a Honda....and also because my big petrol engined car was stolen at machete point and I didn't enjoy that and decided to have something a little slower. It's an awesome little car, I've just travelled a couple of hundred miles in it, and because of the small battery, I did have to stop on the M6, but it took twenty minutes to practically fill. That Suzuki Bandit looks like a great family and big dog car....unlike the 'E', which isn't an Allegro....my late dad swears that his Allegro Sport was the best snow car he ever had (and he was a rally driver so sort of knew his stuff!).
Catcave
2022-12-05 12:33:29 +0000 UTCGlad the W8 went down well. I should clarify on a 'preventative' gearbox rebuild. The autos had a reputation of going wrong around 80,000 miles and my Dad was worried his was starting to slip/change gear slower around that milage so sent it off to be rebuilt (by that point it wasn't his daily). The company lost the gearbox for a month or so but all was good in the end. Great to hear about the long wheel base B5 plans that never made it to fruition, the podcast has some very knowledgeable listeners!

Steve Morton
2022-12-04 18:36:24 +0000 UTCright now the trader has 11 roxy's for sale but no solio bandits. makes me want one more
scott newlands
2022-12-04 18:30:41 +0000 UTCThat W8 looks proper as well.
scott newlands
2022-12-04 18:18:04 +0000 UTCRichard is looking like a cross between Michael Caine, off of Ipcress File and David Starsky
