My Dad"s Car

Andy Gregory and Jon Recknell

Andy and Jon have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia.Each episode kicks of by us asking “what’s your earliest car memory?”From there it’s a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focusing on vehicles we remember from childhood.We ask about music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more.Despite the podcast title, we don’t discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mum’s,

My Dad"s Car ·

2024/11/12

We are joined by Sam White, co-Founder of Apiar Watches, and Porsche 911 owner. In fact this episode is pretty 911 centric, as his father bought the yellow 1971 Targa model the week Sam was born, and always promised the car to him when he was old enough. True to his word, the classic coupe is now in his ownership, complete with its uber-rare 6 pipe exhaust system, which is somewhat of an internet sensation!! There is also passing mention of a Vauxhall Astra and some newer generation Volk...

It starts with his Dad's Vauxhall Viva in bright metallic green (with the obligatory vinyl roof), and in juxtaposition, his colleagues and customers Audi 100s with their 5 cylinder engines.
