Podcast 99 - Anyway, the ID.Buzz
Added 2022-03-13 18:00:03 +0000 UTCJonny and Richard attempt to talk about the Volkswagen ID.Buzz but get slightly distracted by unexpected wetsuits, the Bristol Channel, Florence out of Florence + The Machine as a mermaid, meeting an etceterist, a weird homemade song about Boots Vouchers, walloping 909 beats, Federal-spec Peugeots, the film Blade (again), saying 'the thing is', being really into Marillion, having a terrible Ben Sherman Page 3 shirt, shouting swear words at a charging flap, low fat lard, and Richard's new car.

Now you've said it, I can't see anything but a creepy clown-face!

2022-03-17 10:35:34 +0000 UTCIs it me, or does that thumbnail give the Buzz a sinister clown-face

Mike Taylor
2022-03-15 16:06:54 +0000 UTCThink this also applied to the Capri.... Although not sure.
Ed Davis
2022-03-14 18:26:26 +0000 UTCDon't forget the mighty 1st gen Sierra for a range of engines. Starting at a wheezing 1.3 pinto all the way up to the mighty 2.8 V6. And for the Australian market the same car was offered with a V8.
Ed Davis
2022-03-14 18:24:01 +0000 UTCThe 4th generation Dodge Dart (67-76) had a 2.8 six to a 7.2 V8.
Aidan Gale
2022-03-14 14:40:56 +0000 UTCThird generation Dodge Ram only matches the 4.6 litre sweep with 3.7 6-pot up to the 8.3 V10 from the Viper.

Robin White
2022-03-14 11:26:46 +0000 UTCI have a colleague at work. No matter what you're talking about he always, without fail, replies with an anecdote which starts "the best one was.... " "i nearly crashed this morning.." "the best one was when I nearly crashed..." How is that better. Just Fk off 😂

2022-03-14 10:35:38 +0000 UTCMy mistake,sincere apologies

2022-03-14 09:28:14 +0000 UTCHas to be same model, not just same car company. Cygnet would be a winner if you counted the V12 version (1.3-litre to 6-litre spread) but it was a one-off so I don't think we can allow it. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2022-03-14 09:26:40 +0000 UTC2011 models.Aston Martin Cygnet 1.3 litres,One-77 7.1 litres. 5.8 litre spread was my first thought OTSOT
Kevin Collett
2022-03-14 09:22:31 +0000 UTCI was thinking of cylinder spread as the follow up game. Watch this space... Richard
Smith and Sniff
2022-03-14 08:51:59 +0000 UTCIt can be challenging, but I'm about to move out of London (not for EV reasons, but it's a bonus). Richard
Smith and Sniff
2022-03-14 08:51:40 +0000 UTCI took my info from Wikipedia without verifying it. *hangs head*

2022-03-14 08:04:41 +0000 UTCHow is charging up an electric car in London Town? I assume you can’t trail cables over pavements?
david price
2022-03-14 07:39:19 +0000 UTCAnother can of worms…cars with the largest gap in cylinder count? The e32 BMW 7Series…Straight 6 through to the Goldfisch prototype V16=cylinder gap of 10 cylinders (I’m not applying the same rules re concepts/prototypes as Peter)😊
Steffan Davies
2022-03-14 00:24:18 +0000 UTCI think the W212 went from the 1.6 to the Brabus EV12, which used a twin turbo 6.2 v12 rather than the M297 7.3, so effectively the same spread as the W204. I raise you with an equally controversial suggestion, the CLK W208…The CLK 200 has a 2.0 petrol engine, whilst the CLK GTR has the fabled M297 7.3 V12. Although it only shared instrumentation, front grille and the 4 round front headlamps of the normal CLK, a production run of 25 road cars was completed to meet the homologation rules to enter the FIA GT Championship, therefore not a concept car and a spread of 5.3 litres🤓 I’m a hoot at a dinner party…
Steffan Davies
2022-03-14 00:01:13 +0000 UTCHow about 1968 Mustang .... 200 CID (3.3L) inline 6 to 428 CID (7.0L) V8, that's 4.7L difference in the same model year.
Ed Nicholson
2022-03-13 23:13:37 +0000 UTCW212 E Class went from 1.8 to 7.3, if we’re allowed to include Brabus models?
BoringCarDriver
2022-03-13 22:06:20 +0000 UTCFair enough if it isn’t, my first car thought was w463 g-wagens went from 200ge (2.0lt) - g65 (6.3lt) though it only has 4.3lt difference, that is 8 cylinders and 2 turbos different…
Jamie W
2022-03-13 21:06:10 +0000 UTCMight have to contact Peter, the game’s inventor, for a steward’s enquiry on this one. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2022-03-13 21:00:07 +0000 UTCSolid, but I think the 2-litre and 7-litre were in different generations. Richard
Smith and Sniff
2022-03-13 20:59:11 +0000 UTCOh yes - just when I thought Richard was going to once again frustratingly deny me my desperately needed story completion, sticking around for the last 27 seconds SAVED EVERYTHING! The clever techno and haunting vocals of BOOTES VOUCHERS is now a part of my ongoing musical education. What a relief, yet still leaves me wanting more.
Guy Sande
2022-03-13 20:48:36 +0000 UTCMight be classed as cheating but current Scania R-series goes from 6.7lt straight 6 to 16.4lt v8 (=9.7lt difference)
Jamie W
2022-03-13 20:43:43 +0000 UTCThis one came to mind right away Camaro, 2.0L turbo all the way up to a 7.0L V8.
Ed Nicholson
2022-03-13 19:42:35 +0000 UTCBristol Channel is the second highest Tidal reach after the Bay of Fundy in Nova Scotia. Glad you enjoyed Portishead. My father in law brought those Big Ships in to the Docks!
