Podcast 63 show notes
Added 2021-06-27 18:01:03 +0000 UTCHello again. This week's lead image is the WhatsApp message Jonny sent to Richard to announce that all was not well with his Lada Niva test drive. Then we have the GMC Motorhome, the 'not working' Peugeot logo, a low-spec Aussie Jimny on steelies, and two ways to spec your new 911 GT3 Touring. The brown isn't on the configurator, it seems. Finally, a couple of other images from Jonny's unexpectedly watery Lada Niva adventure.

I was listening to a completely unrelated podcast in which someone mentioned the BMW Vixen RV. Supposedly developed as competition to the GMC RV, on that side of things. Are either of you familiar with them?

2021-07-02 23:44:29 +0000 UTCHellos. Am I the only one that thought of the early 80s Bill Murray film Stripes during this episode?

2021-07-01 06:56:47 +0000 UTCIf any of you click through and don't get the joke about PM Cretien's "manual choke," that's a reference to a time when a protester easily slipped past security and confronted the PM, who then strangled him. This really happened, and Canada is totally a G7 power and not-at-all a banana republic with moose.

2021-06-30 16:00:36 +0000 UTCCan someone please explain how we went from talking about motor homes to Jonny saying "pants down scrotal" something something, with no follow-up? 😂

2021-06-28 14:03:01 +0000 UTCIf I reviewed cars, which I don’t or indeed couldn’t, that’s what would happen to me what a great shot - new car upended in a swamp 🤣

2021-06-28 09:49:14 +0000 UTCYet again, like the passport incident, somewhat guilty about how entertaining your misfortune made my evening commute. Watched the video last night (waiting up for F1 to start) and the podcast dropped in time for the drive home tonight. I thank you!

2021-06-28 08:06:28 +0000 UTCDam you should have issued a spoiler alert! On the the Neva test I've been saving that! 😂

2021-06-28 07:54:06 +0000 UTCGT3 Touring looks great apart from one small detail - the loss of the 9/9 section vent on the engine cover with the “11” high-vis brake lights in the middle - the one special visual identifier on the 992.

2021-06-28 05:32:24 +0000 UTCHave you seen the Andy Preuniger’s GT3 touring? Metallic green and the off gold decals? Can’t post a picture here but I feel it is ultimate spec. But you can’t spec it on the fantasy car builder. Seems odd.

2021-06-28 05:29:50 +0000 UTCThe rear end on that GT3 Touring makes me empathize with those weirdo's who get off on interfering with cars.

2021-06-27 20:13:47 +0000 UTCNothing in the last few weeks has made me laugh this much as the last bit in the vid, Jonny summarising his take on the Niva in a serious, matter-of-fact tone while standing in front of the nose-down, arse-up Niva, deep in a puddle, with its tailgate up in the air. Brilliant!
Lisa Monsterken
2021-06-27 18:43:52 +0000 UTCHahaha that cropped WhatsApp reply says it all. Just watched the vid though, now I want to swap my 05’ jimny for a lada!
