Podcast 62 show notes
Added 2021-06-20 18:02:00 +0000 UTCGolly, where to start with this week's podcast. Quite a lot to take in thanks to the brilliance of our listeners. Picture-wise, we lead with a Bedford Rascal, of course, and then an image of what listener Ross probably saw in the aftermath of the clown incident. After that, some snapshots of the weird magician flyer that once came through Richard's door and two example of Simon Cowell as cars.

2021-06-28 10:32:41 +0000 UTCI assume that Coverdale's Jags were so close together because one or both had to be pushed into place. But the real question is, how did they find two that weren’t Cotswold yellow?

Giles Guthrie
2021-06-22 15:37:20 +0000 UTCExtremely niche with this one possibly, but in terms of vehicle faults, was there ever anything more distinctive (now Proustian) than the valve stem seals going on a Pinto engine? The affliction of all lower- grade Sierras and plenty of other Foooughdaaaas of the same era? Christ, I'm as old as sh*t. Didn't seem to smell the same as oil burnt in other engines of the same age. IMO.

2021-06-21 12:58:12 +0000 UTCFor the elocution specialists in respect of car pronunciation I must lament your lapse in respect of the correct way of saying Rascal. I suppose that North of Watford the short ‘a’ is appropriate, but this is not acceptable in the South. The correct pronunciation is ‘Raaaaaascoo’. Often qualified by ‘li’oo’.

2021-06-21 04:33:08 +0000 UTCI can confirm that the underneath of a Rascal does look like that... one ended up on its side in our carpark at work one day having turned left a little too fast! We put it back on its wheels and the courier carried on his round... a little shaken up and with few dents in the panels on the right hand side!

2021-06-20 18:34:21 +0000 UTCWe know that the worlds most dangerous driver is a man needing a pee We know the worlds carefullest driver is a man driving home with a curry What happens is a man needing a pee is transporting a curry?
