Shadowy Stuff - Drug Dealers, Viagra and a Swapmeet

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/04/22

This week, the Canadians are coming - again - and Pedro is pushed on his thoughts. Also, he remembers some drug dealers, recalls recently finding some packaging for gentlemen's enhancement pills and reminisces about The King of Magnets (R.I.P.). Scott bravely attempts to lift things by quoting Shakespeare, is our correspondent at the Orpington International Swapmeet, tells us what makes him happy and goes a bit teary-eyed over some Cold War Commuter tat. The question is; are we flabby in the middle

What Car Would Evel Knievel Have Raced and Does Bo...

2023/04/15

Answers to those titular questions aside (See what I did there?), we also discuss what Pedro wouldn't buy this week, what Scott did buy last week and taking on the Youtubers we do an unboxing. On a podcast. That's now a thing. Apparently.Moving on, there's nothing about 3d-printing because it's dead, observations on two trips to Gaugemaster (the bricks 'n' mortar retailer in Sussex), another race report from Scott's World Tour of British Slot Car Clubs, stuff about the red one with the white roof

Three Intros and One Incorrect Correction

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/03/29

Nothing if not value for money (and accurate) this episode sports bonus intros at the beginning and end, an incorrect correction that will have to be corrected (the American listener will be all over that), more 3D bemusement and a chat about the Blue Wonder which sounds like a gentleman's performance enhancer but isn't. Also this week, Pedro murders the German language, references Guns 'n' Roses but doesn't sing and questions whether Subbuteo was the precursor to Warhammer. Scott rolls his eyes,

Episode Thirteen: Unlucky for Some

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/03/20

In this week's fun-packed output we discuss Abraham Lincoln's contribution to slot cars; buying your own birthday presents; getting invited into the back rooms of 'specialist' retailers (Phnarr!); decal confusion (caused by evolution); it's Pedro's turn to name drop but Scott obviously can't help himself and clearly isn't done yet; Pedro references all the wrong cars in all the right films; and there's a shout out to the Ifold massif, one to @Dopamine and many too many to that John Underwood. Plus,

Hatching Plans to Move into the Slot Car Business

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/03/13

In this week's episode: Scott and Pedro go off on a flight of fantasy and imagine they own slot car companies - what will they make? Will there be decals for headlights? Also, Pedro insults the French language but defends Joanna Lumley's honour; Scott casts aspersions on the ACO of old but cautions against maligning TWR Racing; a deep love of the R33 Skyline is revealed; we float the concept of a Singer TR7; and both Scott and Pedro lose it big time, discussing the YouTuber, Hairy Metcalfe. But the

Talking Knobs (or Dials?)

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/03/06

Taking on the important topics that matter to you, we ask do Truspeed controllers have knobs or dials? Also, in a very Scott-based episode: is Scott's Team Slot Stratos really a metaphor for Dunkirk; Scott name drops more racing drivers', er... names; did Scott get a tax refund; and Scott shares his race strategy.

Possibly Slandering John Watson and Ted Kravitz

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/02/28

Why do we buy what we buy? Well, this week Scott did buy a Fiat 850 and Pedro declined a 27.91% discount but we both think we'll buy a Wattie's Brabham when we can. Also discussed: Spanish part-works; the forthcoming video diary, Pedro's Road to Brands Hatch; and, inevitably, decals for headlights and the Bastos Rover get a mention. Listen to the end for bonus growling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What Caught Our Eyes This Week, a.k.a. What Rattled...

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/02/14

An episode in which nobody mentions this weekend's NSCC swapmeet at Milton Keynes, Scott goes a little sweary in the intro and prepares to go clubbing, Pedro struggles to pronounce Copersucar, declares The Car of the Year for 2023 (then promptly changes his fickle mind) and we both go Bastos crazy. We also discuss boxes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Slot Transit Gloria Mundi

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/02/04

After this one we're looking for therapy and possibly legal representation as we discuss, among other things: models of vans and trucks; plucky Brits in sheds making real racing cars; Pedro and his 'the real colour of red' issues; that poor man Batman and his many psychological issues; and Scott's inability to haggle at swapmeets. Also includes the inevitable 'Caught Your Eye' section (now a reliable feature), Pedro threatening to impersonate leading online retailers and an actual listener writes

News and Views: New Cars, Old Liveries and Some Bar...

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/01/23

The last week has seen some interesting releases announced and we have opinions. Obviously. Thoughts on Senna's helmet, the exotic draw of Kyalami, Scaleauto's snaps of their allegedly soon to be released Mitsubishi Evo prototypes and then there's Pedro's inevitable outrage at the news of more fantasy liveries - just over half an hour of reasonably engaging chat.

The Inevitable (Controversial?) Car of 2022 Debate

Talking Utter Slot ·

2023/01/03

It's that time of year (or was a week ago) when everyone collates their 'Best of 22' lists and Scott and Pedro are happy to flag down that bandwagon and hitch a ride, each with his own understanding of the actual criteria and with their own belief as to when stuff was actually released. And for balance, there's bonus grumpiness and the title, Most Disappointing Car of 2022 thrown at a couple of models at the end. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
