2024/04/14

Once again, Nick has talked his way behind the wheel of a premium automobile, and is ready to share his impressions, his tips, and his definite plans to probably maybe start to consider possibly finding out if he might be keen to look into purchase options in the future. Just Going For A Drive is BACK with a beaver-teeth-to-quad-pipe review of the mighty, terrifying BMW M4. Six twin-turbo-charged cylinders of podcast-fuelled fury! Plus, we continue our series of car-based romance advice*, and drop

Top speed talk. Real talk. Don't speed, people. Don't top speed, bottom speed, side speed. Anything. Just settle into the slow lane and listen to Nick and Sam dance carefully around claiming any sort glamour around whether going fast is really the point of driving. Plus, we get into the strangely slow death of music in cars. Where are the pumping subs? The teenagers with definite hearing problems? The actual fans of comedy hip-hop? Let us ask you this: do you keep singing to your favourite Celine

2024/01/25

WELCOME to Season 2 of your favourite podcast. The driving one you can listen to while driving and thinking about driving. In this blockbusting, bumper-to-bumper episode, we boggle our minds at the thrills, spills and dills that are Australia's holiday season streets. We eulogise the dead (yes: DEAD) icon of holiday motoring: the humble, practical station wagon. Sam pays tribute to the multi-generational family mechanic of more than 35 years, and Nick overcomes his prejudice against all American

Burning rubber! Slowly. And unevenly. Damn. How are wheel-alignments where our lives are at now? Sam and Nick tread carefully through the sticky world of tyres, and teach you how to change a flat, as well as how to avoid the embarrassing tutting of the Mobile Mechanic who has to come and torque off that last nut. Come and find out what the hell we're talking about, and decide whether you are really okay with filling up from both sides of the car. Our feature car this week is an eternal classic. Is

2023/10/09

First released in 1963, almost immediately re-named because of French people, and mostly driven by the elderly, it's ... a very special episode of Just Going For A Drive. Sam and Nick straighten their cloth caps, comb their beards, and record the starting mileage in a small, leather-bound book using a Porsche-branded golf pencil, before clattering off into the hills and autobahns in possibly the world's gold standard of sports cars. We talk about the 911's weird lay out, its (actually quite

2023/09/13

Everyone wants one, but have you ever seen someone actually smiling in a Ferrari? Have you? Like Batman and Bruce Wayne, a grin and a Fezza are never seen together. On this episode we ask (and answer) the big question: does owning a Ferrari make you unhappy and how can I get one as soon as possible so that I can also feel this feeling? (We told you it was a big question.) Then, to lighten things up, we head north from Italy to the sunny British Isles to ponder why the country where grey cardigans

TEN! Ten. Ten episodes. Can you believe it? We can. We can believe it because we're there. And we celebrate this milestone (another driving term!) with a bumper episode dedicated to our beautiful listeners who write in. Nick and Sam answer Hannah's question "Why the hell are you zooming across all of those lanes? And why don't you know about indicators?". We shout-out to long-time supporter, Steph the graphic designer, and try to make her proud (or at least slightly amused) as we tackle the complete

If you heard "Mighty Subaru" and thought "Mighty Boy", then this is the podcast for you. Somehow we forgot all about the world's tiniest ute, and went for the world's tiniest van. The incredible Subaru Sherpa stars in our Stories of Cars segment as a young Nick learns about rally driving, again forgetting about the most obvious Subaru rally machine, the WRX, until later in the episode. Rounding out your full-fat selection is the actually incredible Kia EV6 GT, the supercar destroying family mini-SUV

Where have we been?!? Where haven't we been. Nick and Sam pull over for a quick chat after an extended break. We farewell the much loved Horizon Saturdays car meet at the Brickworks Market, and bring you the latest trends in Moron Behaviour on Interstate Roads. You wouldn't believe what's out there. Or maybe you would. These people, I tell ya, one time-- wait. Just press play.In these mini-episodes, we bring you a quick burst of car-talk to tide you over while the main episode sits in the

"Monsieur. Just put on your indicator and go." This eternally decent advice both informs and terrifies as Nick and Sam rush bravely screaming into Parisian traffic, bunny-hopping around centuries-old landmarks, and discovering what real mountains have to teach about real driving. If you've ever been involved in backing a trailer, either on the supply or demand side, you'll recognise the cross-handed reverse-but-in-the-mirror style of driving with which our own fathers make magic, somehow squeezing

Just make sure you don't let anyone cut in front when you join Nick and Sam as we analyse another listener suggestion: the convoy (thanks, Dan!). You've both got to get there, but only one person knows where it is? Sounds like the Just Going For A Drive boys are hitting record on another smashing episode. And speaking of smashing: the Alfa Romeo Alfasud rattles through with stories of rust and romance and maybe

We're back! After the kind of disaster that only happens if you attempt to record a podcast in an open-top Captiva, Nick and Sam return in triumphant form (as always). On this episode we answer the urgent email from long-time listener, Graham, demanding the last word on The Rules of Car Parking. Who gets the park? What is the right way to park? And how do you avoid the shame of The Wrong Way To Park?Even though you want to escape them, you can't. Big Ol' Trucks are next on the menu, and we explain

How do they steer? No, really: HOW? They have no leverage! Nick and Sam dissect what should be the simplest thing in driving: holding the steering wheel. We move carefully and respectfully onto what makes a true Gangster Car. Is it machine guns? The sound of muffled pleading from the boot? We lay down the definitive factors that make a car truly a Made Car. And, lastly, we pay tribute to the first, best, and only supercar: the Ferrari Testarossa. Listen in. Nod along.

Join Nick and Sam and as they get to the bottom of exactly why they exist, what their deal is, and how you can bloody get around them. We also relive the horrors and delights of Nick's first car, and explore the Lamborghini Urus, answering the age-old question: what the hell are these things? And, why are there here? Okay: two
