Podcast 93 - Accidentally kicking an Alpine A110 under the fridge
Added 2022-01-30 18:01:01 +0000 UTCJonny's been to see Gordon Murray and Richard has weird memories of trying to win a Porsche 924S.
Plus, some lesser known facts about the GMA T.33, the kind of Terminator robot that does admin, the cost of servicing a Ford GT, and discovering where Weetabix comes from.
Also in this episode, Britain's biggest Post-It note enthusiast, pre-selector gearboxes on buses, the fate of 5th Gear giveaway cars, people who say "pull the trigger", and what on earth is the matter with Sir Lord Alan Sugar?
Comments
Those bus transmission imitations sound like the ZF gearboxes that old MAN SL200s had over here. https://youtu.be/mkAYo61uhK8

2022-01-31 19:21:43 +0000 UTCGordon Murray has a house in the highlands and I think I've seen him mention the Jimny as living there.

2022-01-31 13:22:28 +0000 UTCI don't think Jonny should be too worried about using the term grower not a shower when talking to Gordon Murray, as I think on the Harry Garage walk around of the T.33, Gordon used the term wanky to describe some styling features he didn't like.

2022-01-31 04:55:43 +0000 UTCI refuse to be triggered ( 😝) and Richard's description of the sort who use that phrase in non- trolling instances was spot- on.

2022-01-30 21:10:33 +0000 UTCI won a Fiesta Popular in a Tescos competition in 1987. It had no cigarette lighter socket, just a blanking plug. (It wasn’t a Popular Plus.) I took it straight back to the Ford garage and swapped it for an old Golf Gti plus cash.

2022-01-30 18:56:21 +0000 UTCWas planning on going for a quick run. So having read the show notes I now have to. The “pull the trigger” thing is pre-angrying me. Sorry, I’ve got to go, it’s wound me up too much…..
