Chapter 170. In the pursuit of excellence

Wow, that was a bit of an adventure. If life is indeed a journey, and not a destination, then the route to this weeks episode has been like off-roading in an Austin Allegro with a duff clutch pedal. It is fair to say we have faced a few challenges this week, but in amongst it all we have also lear…

S11 E3: Skinny Pelembe

As with most stuff, I was late to the Skinny Pelembe party and the way I got into his music was as random as it gets: I came across an Instagram post (see, Instagram does have its uses) of his about buying an Austin Allegro with his streaming royalties ( I think that was the gist of it). Now my old…

The Rover SD1 Story - Why did this Ferrari-inspired Rover fail?

The Rover SD1 was so nearly a game changer. It was an amazing follow-up to the Triumph 2000 & Rover P6, but it caused so much damage to the Rover name. It was a "space age" shape that looked like it had come right off the set of Blakes 7. And this came out of old, stodgy, British Leyland - the comp…

Send us Fan Mail 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.

EP165 AI Won’t Take Your Job. But Another Photographer Using It Just Might.

This one starts with a dodgy lane choice, a Starbucks coffee, and a misjudged underpass. As always. I’m back in the Land Rover — which might be its final podcast outing before it finds a new home — and today’s episode is a rambling, reflective road trip through customer service, creative resilienc…

Stars of Slot & Screen

Inspired by the recent release of TV & Film themed cars we thought we'd talk about... TV & Film cars. Professionals Capris, Captain Scarlet Patrol Cars, but also scratch built and modified cars so there's mention of such unlikely motors as Princess 1800s, Austin Allegros and even a Porsche 956 whic…
