Added 2021-08-22 18:02:00 +0000 UTCWell then. Just a photo of Jonny's taxi this week, and then a whole mess of links. Here we go...
Here's a weird one. If you type in karmann.de you get re-directed to the Volkswagen UK website. Karmann went bust in 2009 which is why their website doesn't exist any more.
Culture Club let Boy George say "time" a lot - https://youtu.be/8tI1_KlO6xI

Good news for Jonny's mum, you can still buy telephone wipes. They're sub-branded as 'hot desk wipes' here. How moderne - https://amzn.to/2W0pGDX
That incredible abrupt tone change from an Australian politician - https://youtu.be/_ih1EuMLspY

Nothing to do with cars, but on the topic of Australians making abrupt changes on camera, you can’t go past this one (on that side of things) https://youtu.be/UbO7a1r7CtY

2021-08-28 19:08:17 +0000 UTCRailway station announcements… on that of things. SNCF here in my home country of La Belle France use a short jingle ahead of all announcements. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd sampled it whilst visiting friends in France and used it in his song Rattle That Lock. The composer of the four note jingle took David Gilmour to court of his use of the sample but Michaël Boumendil lost the case in 2019. I use the four note jingle to announce the arrival of text messages or iMessages on my iPhone!!

2021-08-27 15:43:56 +0000 UTCI believe Richard was gloating that the podcast had shot up the ranks in the Leisure category, outdoing some gardening shows. Well, gents, S&S *is* a gardening show. Few episodes back you were talking about the best use of cars as gardening implements, and now it's tending the moss window boxes on old Landies. And yes, our family's old Series III still has a healthy crop. I wonder if the Chelsea flower show would accept an installation that's just a huge Land Rover sliding window with various bryophytes cheerily sprouting from it.

2021-08-26 01:02:11 +0000 UTCCouple of weeks late, but check out this Transit County 4x4... eBay item no. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324761340048?hash=item4b9d48c890:g:DG4AAOSwEV1hITcN Perfect for some Old Money Car spotting ;)

2021-08-25 14:29:06 +0000 UTCThis one checked quite a few boxes for me. I have a Disco 2 currently, and previously had a late-model Saab 9-3 in college (neither of which had moss). The Saab was such a great car for that time in life. I once reversed into a mailbox with such speed and force, the back end of my Saab was lifted up in the air, and the mailbox post was tilted at an angle with my rear bumper resting on it. It was at my friend's parents' cabin, and to this day, the mailbox still isn't straight. The Saab, on that side of things, was perfectly fine, except for a bit of white paint on the bumper from the mailbox post.

2021-08-24 20:58:50 +0000 UTCI once honked a Renault Velsatis which cut across me to go a up slip road. The young scroat decided to rejoin the dual carriage and give chase up the A5. He and is Scroaty mates blocked my way at the roundabout and the end of the dual carriageway. Stepped out of the Fat Arsed Renault with a pair of nunchucks and tapped on my window and tried my door. When I refused to discuss his inability to use the road network he gave my car a kick and returned to vehicle and sped off. Charming gentleman

2021-08-24 10:44:58 +0000 UTCKnowing Bob Katter exists makes me sad to be a Queenslander. He's what can only be described as an unhinged fuckhead
Jordan Mulach
2021-08-24 02:21:29 +0000 UTCAahhh Bob Katter! I met him briefly in Townsville Airport in the 90's. Nice enough to speak to, but strange even as far as North Queenslanders go! On behalf of all Australians, I appologise for him existing.

2021-08-23 21:57:28 +0000 UTCTowards the end of the podcast you mentioned about following road rage with various instruments like a recorder. The Last Leg did something by following around celebrities and politicans they didn't like with a tuba, such as Jeremy Hunt and then future President Donald Trump https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHnDdrTgIVd9xJC9xarFbOtKxyRJZhqrz

2021-08-23 18:24:18 +0000 UTCCan you share a picture of Johnny's "Austrian Sledge"? I'd love to hunt one down for my kids!

2021-08-23 10:00:14 +0000 UTCWe had an Antique Gold (actually sludgy greenish-brown) Mini Clubman exactly like the one in the sheep video as our family car when I was a kid. XBW536R, which I still remember some forty odd years later. My grandmother used to buy a new Mini every couple of years then pass her old one on to one of her children so family reunions were also impromptu Mini shows.
