Podcast 40 - Schrödinger's garage door
Added 2021-01-24 19:00:02 +0000 UTCRichard remembers a neighbour with a weird car hole policy and Jonny endorses the dad ritual of pushing cars onto the drive. Also in this episode, the mid-engined Corvette coming to the UK, the USA formation Mustang crashing team, accidentally pitching an idea called Stunt Driver Ben Cock, bad fuel filler designs, and welcoming Euro dance act turned massive car-making conglomerate, Stellantis. Plus, Jonny's new long term test car, Peugeot's Lancastrian cowboy, Michael Bolton's hat, David Attenborough's biscuity voice, and Will Smith's wicking business suit.

2021-01-26 04:23:23 +0000 UTCThe "Pokemon Go" for abandoned cars idea is an absolute banger. I live in Naples, and within a 10 minute walk of my place I know of a semi-abandoned XR3i, Sierra Cosworth and Maserati 424. All a bit ratty and covered in dust. And too many 127s and 500s to count.

2021-01-25 14:50:22 +0000 UTCThe mention of Cuba Spec reminded me of some great stuff I saw on an airport transfer from Havana Airport to a hotel. Some of the old 50's cars with dents filled in by papier mache, a bendy bus where the bendy bit was split down one side but was still crammed with passengers, and an open top truck being used as a work bus with an emergency exit sticker on the back. Great trip, it was my 50th birthday and I got to tick off a bucket list item - an all day guided tour in a Red convertable T-Bird, complete with all the correct trim screws (or as close as they could get from the Cuban version of B&Q. The guide told us that many of the classic car owners have replaced the engines because of fuel economy and the tour firms are buying them up for spares. The driver was also very good at taking care of dropped cylinders. It's an amazing place and well worth going to just because the roads are like living museums. Just don't go for a ride in one unless you've booked it with one of the firms because your insurance may not cover you.
