Podcast 49 - JDM nonsense
Added 2021-03-28 18:01:00 +0000 UTCJonny has been offered some rotten weirdness. Also in this episode, sending Sir Jackie Stewart a Ford Scorpio full of tat for his birthday, mice treating dead insects like crisps, why The A-Team was better than Knight Rider, the return of a missing tortoise, and would you rather have a car full of wasps or locusts? Plus, the Citroen e-C4, some Renault Avantime facts, how Supergrass came to perform Richard III on Top Gear, Jonny's deranged house demolition plan, and why Richard's new Range Rover is already in the garage.

Any truth in the rumour Shelby is fitted with the programmable heating from a Tatra 613?

2021-04-01 12:12:43 +0000 UTCFrenchman here, can confirm the "time" in "Avantime" is not pronounced "team" but the English way. Now that I think about it, the name doesn't really make sense, but then again neither did the car.

2021-03-29 09:46:51 +0000 UTCGreat tortoise news! If you think you can get away with swapping the E-C4 wheels with a set of cactus wheels hit me up. :D Or if you could just remove a wheel and check the offset stamp on the back I'd appreciate that too. I'm assuming it's stayed as 4x108. 32:18 - This has brought back childhood trauma to me. I remember my dad being at a trade fair in the early 80s and he told me about the Knight Rider watch and said he'd get it for me. I told everyone at primary school the next day about the watch but when he went back to the trade stand the next day all had been sold / given away. I was 5 or 6 at the time. Why do I remember this? I need to bid to erase all trauma memories. I have a random collection of cheap digital watches but never added a Knight Rider one to the collection. 39:20 - I always wanted a metal detector from Tandy's - never got one. Has the metal detector been used in your garden? Maybe it's a tortoise detector - maybe your son revived Shelby with the metal detector like a remote operated defibrillator. 58:00 - No way you blagged a Nakamichi stereo. You know you've made it if people are giving you those. 1:00:00 - Drugs are a terrible habit but just imagine how much weaker musical / cinematic output in the world would be without them. Off to listen to The Beatles Revolver album now....
