Podcast 68 - How this podcast made a listener think their GR Yaris was faulty
Added 2021-08-01 18:00:04 +0000 UTCJonny and Richard have accidentally spoilt someone's enjoyment of their new car.
Also in this episode, not liking Tommy Lee Jones, households that own two of the same car, Jonny's spooky doppleganger, getting to know cars by washing them, having an international face, and what does Nicolas Cage drive?
Plus, a leggy R.S. Megane that Jonny definitely isn't buying, lending cars to film and TV productions, weird things in classified car ad photos, getting trapped in a Japanese motor show stage performance, and what are Daihatsu up to these days?
Comments
I hope that “daihatsu the musical” video is going on YouTube if you dig it out?!

2021-08-03 15:39:53 +0000 UTCWhat does Nick Cage drive? IDK, do you think he's a red-blooded American Mustang lover, or would he go for a sophisticated, erudite, and suave SL600?

2021-08-03 03:02:31 +0000 UTCRe Boon - I once crashed their filming in Ilkeston driving home in my Skoda 136 while they were set up doing a market scene. You didn't stop in those days on a Friday night when someone tried to wave you down after closing time.

2021-08-02 19:46:22 +0000 UTCSo much love for the XBUS. It's a much less less shit version of Gordon Murrays OX.

2021-08-02 11:34:25 +0000 UTCI had a friend at school from Czechoslovakia, a Czech mate on that side of things, who's surname was Chodera. We used to call him 'Chod'. Not sure I'd call him that these days...

2021-08-02 11:25:26 +0000 UTCWhen Jonny gets Richards Casio you can buy replacement straps from Amazon, eBay etc. Had together one a couple of years back for my son's watch.

2021-08-02 11:19:54 +0000 UTCChrist! I’ve just remembered! There was even a “bigger kid” at my secondary school who would pick on me as (as my friends of the time confirmed) he thought I was a completely different person! I know I went to secondary school in Somerset, but even allowing for that (insert comment here about intellect of bullying kid) that’s my face being an ongoing hindrance.

2021-08-02 09:10:58 +0000 UTCIn relation to the doppelgänger thing, when I’d be out when I was in my 20s people would come up to my very anonymous-looking face and either greet me, or on one occasion try and start a fight. Take a look at my lovely profile pic on twitter for any proof required ( @brownest_Ant ) , however, even pre-pandemic I solved the issue by being in my forties and not going out anymore.

2021-08-02 06:42:45 +0000 UTCAn old neighbour of mine had two identical white Rolls Royces. They lived in a whitewashed house with porcelain white ducks in the driveway.

Bill
2021-08-01 22:45:20 +0000 UTCA house a few streets over had two yellow SEAT Arosas separated by a year but otherwise identical. In the last year or two they’ve replaced one with a VW Lupo, sadly in silver. Obviously, the platform works well for them.

2021-08-01 20:47:42 +0000 UTCRe Boon; Back in my early 20’s while I was a student, I occasionally picked up vehicles and parts for a gentleman called Dave Heathcote from Beeston near Nottingham. Dave supplied all of the cars for Central TV dramas including Boon, one of which was a red Rover 2300 SD1 which I drove for a week while work was being done on my then Ford Orion.

2021-08-01 19:23:54 +0000 UTCOpposite Neighbours to my parents always have identical midsize hatchback derived ford estates, both had w-reg (must be the last ones off the line) escorts, both blue ghia and then both replaced them in 2009 with with 2006 focus ghia estates in that terracotta colour. Unfortunately I never plucked up the courage as a kid to ask what was going on was weird though

2021-08-01 19:01:20 +0000 UTCI suppose at least you have the satisfaction of knowing it was an *accurate* windscreen and roof. Richard

2021-08-01 18:29:31 +0000 UTCI loaned my 1968 Toyota Corona to the production of Rush. They borrowed it twice for several days for the scene in Japan (Blackbushe Airport) and you only ever see two seconds of the windscreen and roof. Such a shame.
