Season 3, Ep. 8 Sex in cars and Dead Batteries

Just Going For A Drive ·

2025/10/27

It's been a while since something like this has happened - I swear! Normally, we just go for a quickie to fill in the need and make a big effort later on when bloody work isn't so busy, and we all know what that's like, right?Talking about podcasting here. Trying the clever little switcharoo to cover up for a particularly dry dry-spell, and we are certainly not above including the word "sex" in the episode title to vacuum in a little more interest. But do we actually talk about sex in cars? Do we

Season 3, Ep. 7 - V12s Around The World

2025/09/17

Oh boy! Is that a brand new V12 supercar?? No, actually, that one is a render trawling for people who respond to the words "manual twelve cylinder" with drool and seven-figure deposit cheques. Which would be your old pals, Nick and Sam. If we used cheques. Which is the only restriction.How about THAT? Is that a real V12 supercar? Yes. Yes, and the boys are back after a long, sad winter hiatus to talk about design, purity, Chris Bangle, the Nilu 27, the new Testarossa and The Burger Incident.Catch us

It's shopping time! Come, lose a finger squeezing under the slowly ascending roller door with Nick and Sam as they charge into car marketplaces of the world. We get a little too intimate comparing the Carsales app to Tindr, but we aren't far off the mark. Swipe. Low ball. Bid. It's all pretty similar, right? We reminisce about the ones that got away, and the ones where we almost risked it all. And yes, this is mostly Marketplace and Gumtree, but you have to kiss a few frogs to get into a V12 Alpina

Season 3, Ep. 5 - Most Beautiful Car Ever Made

Just Going For A Drive ·

2025/06/18

Most beautiful car ever made? One question, two answers. The first won't surprise you, the second will make you thump your steering wheel rage. To give themselves something to do in the lazy hiatus (which seems to be a bit of a theme this year), Nick and Sam pondered what the most beautiful car ever made was according to a) everyone, and b) no one but ourselves. What drab piece of automotive history would we defend as being a secret stunner?Listen in to find out!Insta: @justgoingforadriveEmail:

There were Hondas, there were Toyotas, there were Nissans, there were probably Subarus and Isuzus and Daihatsus and even the odd Mazda. There were high ones, low ones, ones that went even lower than that, and then a couple which were deffo lowered, but not on purpose, because these things tend to be pretty homemade. But the one thing that was definitely there was love. And a yakitori stand that took a while to serve you, but was worth the wait. All Japan Day 2025 was an absolute all-timer, and your

Friends! Drivers! Patient Passengers! Lend us your ears. And your favourite memories of the Honda Motor Corporation. Nothing says confidence in a car company like sending their new F1 drivers off to work in a 30-year-old NSX (hilariously covered in Season 1, Ep. 7) just after deciding not to go dancing with Nissan. But we digress. Which we also do a lot of in this latest episode. Get your fill (premium, of course) on truck talk and exactly what we think of the Toyota Tundra (not premium, dudes

Yes, we are doing the year per season thing, and dumping the clutch with a tyre-smoking big bumper episode - now with extra puns! Come with us as we relive Culture Day #3 and how we almost almost drove a million-dollar sports car. Almost.Plus, we really did drive the new benchmark in electric cars: the

Lo, let the confetti cannons of depreciation thunder across the bonnets of departing four-door European sedans as they glide from the dealership floor. May their astronomical prices melt through their first-owner's fingers like so much truffled butter. And! Let us scroungers of the streets, gather up those princely conveyances, swathed in the leather of only the most endangered creatures, powered by engines which can loosen hip-replacements from 30 yards, for only marginally more coin than a

Legions of JGFADs! Welcome to a sizzling episode not to be missed. Because, even though we promised no more talk of the controversial Ferrari CX-30 sorry Purosangue, Nick has finally solved the puzzle. And it's not some tedious one-eyed whinging about how sports car makers shouldn't build SUVs - what is this? Porsche Cayenne, Season 1? The one where everyone who doesn't want a 911 suddenly has opinions about a frankly floundering German marque they never would have had the taste or bravery to buy

From normal, mortgage-having, bill-paying, respect-mostly-commanding human beings, into nearly destitute, futon-sleeping, tea bag-reusing Ferrari owners. That's right. Ferrari owners.

Not for the pod so ...),thinly veiled blame (Nick apparently had a thing), obvious lies about future updates (because we'll be podding twice a week from now on!), poorly judged passive aggressive sulking (but really, thanks for all the messages of support on Insta, we totally read them all), and a

On this luxurious episode, Nick and Sam wonder what the poor are doing. That is: they would wonder what the poor are doing if there were any to be found in our very special Car of The Week. Your favourite Auto Maniacs carve out some very special time to push their fingers through lambs wool so soft and thick, it immediately makes them forget about the most eyeball-peeling acceleration either has ever felt. We tour the unsuspecting car lots of the upper crust, spreading crumbs, talking dough, and

Settle in, listeners. This is the episode about the Little Cars That Could. Sort of like this podcast, really. Nick and Sam bring you glad, glad tidings of a new miracle in this world: a brand new, V10-engined boom stick. We count the ways why the vivacious V10 brings happiness to the world. Reason number one: the noise. Oh, that juicy, juicy noise. Reason number two: you don’t own one and never have to wonder about the compromises made between engineering delight and service cost.

Nick and Sam can't wait to bring you this absolutely true story. Also, there's a new Bugatti out, it's got a V16 engine, might be the new standard for The Last Age of Combustion Engines blah blah blah etc. But you have GOT to hear about this goddamn boom gate.

That's right: it's another whacky mind massage from the Just Going For A Drive lads!

We've certainly had the chance to think about it, stuck at the same crossing, for no reason, for a mathematically impossible number of times. You'll hear all the latest about The New Porsches, The New Bugatti and most thrillingly the time our odometers rolled over a significantly high number!
