Podcast 39 - James May spilt tea in my car
Added 2021-01-17 19:00:02 +0000 UTCRichard remembers the time TV's James May had a travel tea disaster in his Land Rover. Also in this episode, Jonny's barnfind laptop, memories of Feu Orange air freshener, horrors of rot-era Mercs, a weirdly low mileage Ka, comedy tax dodge cars and the story of the sour-faced old woman and the abandoned Honda Jazz. Also in this show, Richard has some idiotic ideas for his new family car and Jonny reads a list of finches.

Growing up we'd often travel down to visit my gran in Dunoon and along the way there was also a 'car-slash-bag' lady who lived in her car much like Anne Naysmith. What was odd was that she lived in it opposite a nice victorian-era home that she owned, but apparently elected to forego in place of layby life. I'm also quite certain she started with a pretty spacious rover estate car but eventually ended up in red vauxhall hatchback. Downsizing in her old age, I guess. Fond memories of racing past her house with our faces pressed up against the windows of my parents fiat brava desperately trying to catch sight of the car lady.

2021-01-18 22:48:06 +0000 UTCA family car option for Richard could be a seat Leon cupra estate or a Toyota caldina. Loved the podcast but disappointed with Jonnys pronunciation of Ford when mentioning the focus estate

2021-01-18 22:09:55 +0000 UTCJust ordered Steel Flies and How To Be A Motoring Journalist by Roy Lanchester. Iβve always thought that George Bishop must have been your primary inspiration for Roy, Richard. Am I right?

2021-01-18 21:07:04 +0000 UTCI keep looking at 4.0 and 4.6 P38 Range rovers sub 3k to me they still look mega but damn I know it would cripple me financially

2021-01-18 09:50:21 +0000 UTCI was thinking a supercharged XJR... but then again, not enough room for the pooch. 740/940 Turbo estate?
