2025/04/29

Send us a text It was a real pleasure to have Motoring Journalist, TV and You Tuber Jonny Smith join us for a full fat chat about cars of yesteryear. His story starts with a couple of British classics. A Harvest Gold Austin Allegro belonging to his Grandparents, and a Hillman Avenger that his parents owned from 1979 to the late nineties, perhaps even beyond the millennium! We take in an Austin Maxi with a ‘drink driver facelift’ which his Dad repaired overnight with piano wire, ready fo...

2025/03/11

Send us a text Recently whilst clearing out my loft, I've found lots of old car books from when i was a kid. Rather than take them to a charity shop, for another 40-something guy to buy for a quid and stash in his study, i chose to give them to my kids school, in the hope they might just inspire the next generation. So, if you've got any old car books at home, please do the same - these kids (and our hobby) need your help. This episode is a bonus. Season Six will commence on the 1...

The car had previously last been used in 1983 and was his parent's wedding car. After his father passed away in 2016, his mother offered him the car and he set about restoring it. Financially it should never have been saved, but the vehicle lives, and was the basis for a book which is now available to buy. Maggie – A Lifelong MG ...

Faye’s earliest memories are of the cars she used to walk past on her way to and from school. Not a long walk, 300 yards, as she lives next door! But she would test herself on recognising headlamps and badges from a distance. The first ca...

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...
