Podcast 86 show notes
Added 2021-12-05 19:19:41 +0000 UTCHello gang. What have we got this week? Well, our lead image is of course the flute shop sign that Richard spotted last week. This is followed by one of those very soft-looking American cars of the 1990s (an Buick Riviera in this case) and DJ Steve Lamacq in his peanuts 'n' cider heyday (pictured with former co-host Jo Whiley. Then we have the look Jonny fears he has; the 911 Turbo, not Hans Mezger's trousers. Then we've got a non-standard speed sign, the infamous Bristol Cars sign in happier times, and the ghastly BMW XM concept. Finally, some links for ya.

2021-12-08 08:00:06 +0000 UTCThe BMW is so fussy, too much going on for my liking. Why couldn't they just stop fiddling with it? The Buick reminds me of picking a cat up by the belly and they droop at either end....
Lee
2021-12-07 14:41:49 +0000 UTCDefinitely, or "you wouldn't understand"
Lee
2021-12-07 14:36:36 +0000 UTC"Bavarian Churros" I think I'll remember that for years....
Lee
2021-12-07 14:14:19 +0000 UTC"Bavarian churro" produces one of those classic S&S moments where the listener (on headphones) guffaws loudly, is asked by a family member, "What's so funny?", considers the length of the explanation required, and then responds, "Nothing." Top stuff.

Tim Lewis
2021-12-06 17:15:02 +0000 UTCI was in two minds whether to go to that.
Simon Hall
2021-12-06 15:07:54 +0000 UTCA million years ago when I was in college, I “found” a plastic AA road sign which stated “Schizophrenia Conference” for an apparently real event in the local hotel.

Matt Tester
2021-12-06 12:51:04 +0000 UTCThe purveyors of flutes have moved, but still in business. It’s possible they may intend returning to retrieve the sign. If not you simply have to ask and they might let you have it for a donation to a charity. https://www.allflutesplus.com/

2021-12-06 09:40:48 +0000 UTCOn the Spotify listening, my best mate Dan has listened to over 15,000 minutes which isn’t bad given he only started towards the end of the first quarter. How’s this for another case of small world in the motor industry. I’ve just finished reading the three boring car trivia books which the aforementioned mate got for my birthday and noticed in the special thanks area, one of the names is Alex Fisk. Alex’s wife is my editor at our Australian motoring publication!

2021-12-06 05:18:15 +0000 UTCThe very first Instagram post I ever made was of the Bristol Cars showroom, legendary. Jonny's transpoowart revelation made me recall that Pontiac's version of GMs 90's MPV was called the Trans-Sport, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontiac_Trans_Sport?wprov=sfla1 remember having one as a rental on a family holiday

2021-12-06 01:46:52 +0000 UTCThanks for the shout out! And you got the pronunciation bang on 1st go. And I've become a patreon as promised. Cheers lads and keep on entertaining us .

2021-12-05 22:22:55 +0000 UTCXM? Shirley Citroen will have something to say about that!
Sean Hamerton
2021-12-05 20:44:29 +0000 UTCI'd be interested in where Jonny buys his signs. I have a "Diversion END" sign that I "found" at the side of the road, to be fair I live in the middle of nowhere and this sign was in a ditch for over 6 months. There are some local roadworks and I'm eyeing up a road closed sign right now, should it be left behind.

2021-12-05 19:25:35 +0000 UTCCompletely agree with the Rod Stewart thing. His new stuff is absolutely crap. Especially “One More Time” - that song makes me want to shrivel up and go deaf.
