Podcast 79 show notes
Added 2021-10-17 18:01:02 +0000 UTCHello again. Sorry there weren't show notes for the last two podcasts. We were both busy and Jonny, as you'll hear in the new episode, has been sickly.
Picture-wise, this week we have the gecko-faced Taycan on location in the Lake District, a library photo of a pipe of Polos, Jonny's Porsche 917 'Growler', and the style of Mitsubishi Galant featured in the scary car selling story from New Zealand.

Jonny is quite the hero for putting out a podcast this week despite Leyland Lung. Thanks for something fun to listen to on the normal monday shuttle around town. Describing loose bowels as someone "airbrushing around the flat" nearly make me crash. That era of Galant was available in a truly bizarre special edition called the Galant AMG. Yes, that AMG: before the Mercedes tie-up, they'd tune for anyone. Naturally aspirated 4G63, spun to 8000 rpm. Must have sounded like a bag of wasps, which insect, I'm pleased to note, continues to receive regular mention, OTSOT.

2021-10-18 19:26:28 +0000 UTCCongrats on the third "Boring Car Trivia" book Richard. I haven't seen the design, but unless you've die-cut this Mk III edition to resemble a svelte "Coke bottle" silhouette a-la third-gen Cortina and Viva, you've missed a trick. I'll still purchase it regardless though - promise.

2021-10-18 19:11:55 +0000 UTCExploding drinks bottles..... Again features my mate Pete.. On a trip to the Isle of Man to watch the Rothmans Manx International Rally... We had a few hours to kill after the rally finished and before the extremely difficult to hire... hire car had to be returned.. (20 year olds, car hire, rally week, doesn't make for good business!) We visited some of the cultural sites of this ancient and mystical Isle. Being somewhat prune like after several days of heavy drinking, late nights, and trampling over mountains to watch rally cars scream past us. We invested in a couple of the new fangled Coke in plastic bottles. On returning to the car after viewing a mound of Celtic chod, I opened my Coke and chugged its content... Pete opened his and put the Coke bottle to his lips... I spotted an opportunity to provide some amusement. I stamped on the throttle, lurching the vehicle forwards...causing the Coke to traverse the plastic opening into Pete's mouth, the resonant frequency of the liquid entering the mouth cavity bounced back into the bottle and amplified the aforementioned gob full of Coke... Result! However there is only so much pressure a human mouth can withstand...and the Coke expanded exponentially and blew out...through his nose, mouth and those little glands at the corner of your eyes.. The whole hire car was coated in layer of sticky Coke, snot and tears He eventually saw the funny side ..after I'd cleaned the mess as best as I could, before returning said car to the hire company.... We got our deposit back.... He's never drank Coke ever again

Original: Bat mobile, Lady Penelopes Rolls, James's Bond Aston Martin complete with all rockets / ejector seat bits Captain Scarlet vehicles with rockets and pop out door complete with Captain Blue figurine He polishes his suspension strut towers too! Not a euphemism! He actually does it

2021-10-17 20:13:55 +0000 UTCSo "gecko-faced" Taycan is now embedded in the can't unsee brain dept. beside Car Mag's launch "pooing a 911" description of the rear of a BMW i8...
