Podcast 46 - Beer festival waistcoat Croc Dundee hat and ponytail man
Added 2021-03-07 19:00:03 +0000 UTCThat chap you always see at real ale events. He probably has a mark 1 Discovery. Also in this episode, more on F1 drivers trolling track days, the badly advertised bounty of Gumtree, failing to address Peugeot's new logo, accidentally treading dog muck into your car, and Richard's dislike of the Mitsubishi Evo X. Plus, why the base-model Porsche Taycan is a brilliant four-door gecko, which car The Scorpions Wind of Change make you think of, Morgans that won't start unless you're wearing a tweed cap, and the tricky laundry regimes of 1980s soft rock bands. Plus, Jonny has a buying tip for first generation BMW Minis.

As the inverse to your imaginary man who uses a ratchet strap as a belt I held the front bumper of my last car to the bodywork with two trouser belts attached to each other. I had hit something in the road and pulled the bumper off but I still needed to get to work every day and it was the best option I had at the time. Lasted that way for a couple of months until I scrapped the car.

2021-03-09 11:06:24 +0000 UTCThere’s a flute on my estate that has the opposite to the M5 sleeper that Rich mentioned, and it’s an absolute abomination... He’s got a black E60 520d which he’s wrapped and body kitted the shit out of to make it ‘look’ like a white M5. It looks great from about 450 yards. Any closer and you can see the black mark that two of his ‘quad exhausts’ have chugged up his bumper, and the M5 vents that look like they were bored out with a broken pencil. Oh, and the fact it sounds like a farting John Deere is a proper give away. Can’t just be me that finds this sort of thing infuriating right??

2021-03-08 17:15:05 +0000 UTCOk, I can't believe that I'm the first one to mention this, nor that Richard (boring car trivia) Porter didn't bring this up, but surely the only car you could see the Scorpions in, is the Opel Speedster (Vauxhall vx220 for euro- types) as they had their own special edition of that car!: Here's the brochure: http://www.lccs.nu/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/scorpions.pdf (Just edited this to add the note that there's no snideyness suggested towards Richard in the first sentence. I may be many things, but I always plan my pettiness well in advance rather than have it occur by accident, so I wasn't being mean :D )

2021-03-08 06:25:01 +0000 UTCGreat podcast guys! Earlier this week, I bought both boring car trivia books. Finished book 1 and it was fantastic but did not see the mention of the Amg Mitsubishi Galant or mk2 Sierra cosworth 2 door prototype which had sapphire rear lights. Also, the lime green sapphire cosworth Richard mentioned was owned by manpower editor milsy. He changed the like green to a grey
