Podcast 119 - E10 and the ruined wetsuit
Added 2022-07-31 17:00:05 +0000 UTCJonny's been having trouble with his own car and someone else's dog.
Also in this episode, the great smell of Relentless Pursuit, that ridiculous Rich Energy understeer video, the E-Transit and MG3, an old money Range Rover Sport, an immaculate brick-shape Volvo S90, the carbon cost of keeping an older car going, a nightmare with locking wheelnuts, Sebastian Coe's favourite style of lorry, and is there something a bit off about Mickey Mouse?

2022-08-02 19:33:22 +0000 UTCMy ‘22 Civic Si US Spec has no spare tire, just a compressor and a tube of goo. The Canadian Spec Si does have the space saver and jack. There’s a spare kit from Honda, but it’s not available until mid August. I drove a COE truck in the early 90’s. The driver’s seat was basically on top of the steering axles, so not so bad with the overhang.

2022-08-01 20:48:12 +0000 UTCIs there a tiny fart in the background while Richard is speaking about Rich Energy, as he says the word "Haas" at 13m 35s or so.

2022-08-01 18:04:42 +0000 UTCI seem to have adopted this tic from God-knows-where. I catch myself saying it and add, ‘but of course it makes sense; it’s a perfectly logical sentence.’

2022-08-01 16:38:47 +0000 UTCOn 'running the reg', there is a BMW insured warranty site that will bring up basic details about most cars but it used to bring up the VIN too! It was handy when buying a car as you could check it in more detail but understandably they put a stop to it.

2022-08-01 13:21:06 +0000 UTCI thought about the podcast and the talk of verbal tics when buying some tiles recently. The woman helping us was absolutely lovely but said "if that makes sense" after every single sentence, even when it was something very easy to understand. She even paused at the end of some sentences before adding it on, as if she had initially forgotten about it.

2022-08-01 08:03:32 +0000 UTCIf you bought the ruined wetsuit with a credit card it is possible that it is insured under the terms of the credit card agreement. Might be worth inquiring. It is also possible that you could claim under your household insurance. Finally the dog owner might be insured. Or you just swallow the cost.

Maurice Barnes
2022-07-31 22:02:51 +0000 UTCJonny, is it an ongoing joke that you keep pronouncing the word “eligible” as “illegible”?
