Podcast 47 show notes

Lead image this week is of what Jonny calls a "showboating" ride-on lawnmower, the British Anzani Lawnrider. The other images are of Richard's new Range Rover, and the dashboards of the VW ID.4 and Skoda Enya. EDIT: Added two additional images of Jonny's actual Lawnrider, complete with saucy grassbox action. 

This podcast was recorded before we heard the sad news about Murray Walker, hence he's not mentioned in this show. We will of course pay tribute to him in next week's podcast.

Re-listening to some of these, I hope that mower doesn't have good brakes or your could launch yourself over the top and into the blades. Really liking the Skoda interior in brown and I'm all for one-pedal driving but it really does appear to just have a brake pedal in this picture! In a recent DriveTribe video we saw that Clarkson still drives his L322 so I still have lots of respect for the old barge. I'd be too scared to buy one, I drew the line at the DII in terms of electronics.

That lawnmower looks more like a snowblower than a lawn mower. Definitely stylish, but also looks absolutely terrifying to operate. Excellent Range Rover, Richard. I nearly fell out of my chair when you told the story about the dirt from Mars!

Ben Lucareli

Check out the old school Locke mowers that were produced here in the states. not as stylish as Jonnys but maybe a little safer

Anzani jackknife special from before the invention of caster angle😆

Andrew Jude

Is that a Brookes saddle?

Ian Langfield

I reckon you could make a nice replica of that lawnmower with a Radio Flyer trike.

I love that that is your ride on mower 😂 I did a similar thing thought get something interesting...... Turns out while it might be retro and cool.... A newer example may be a better tool 😂👍

I listen to the S&S podcast on a Monday evening run along the Basingstoke canal. As of today's run I shall of course be looking for real ale leather waistcoat Croc Dundee hatted men on any narrow-boats I see. A detail you missed on said man is that the hats are always covered in shiny badges.

I have been recently looking for a Range Rover and found a variety of images with suspect stains on interior trim caused, I hope by makeup, either that or someone has wiped their arse on the door handle...

Graham Watkinson

That looks lethal! The mower, not the Range Rover, obviously

Bruce Driffill

Oh sorry, just looked at the other picture - it had one.

Carl Pickering

We are ‘lucky’ enough to have the British Lawnmower Museum here in Southport 😹

David Daley

Wouldn't the mower originally have had a grassbox?

Carl Pickering

My god that mower is way more stylish than I expected

Calum Gillies

That mower looks like a widowmaker

Graham Dallas

Pretty sure there's an option for JS to combine his love of mowers and RC. Also you should check out how they are building Starship and the speed they are chucking them out. Reminiscent of Leyland on a Friday in the mid 70's.

Maurice Barnes

I will of course have to listen to it many times to fully appreciate it.

Noel Huggett

Brilliant as always gents, made my delivery round more bearable.
