The Quirkiest petrolhead podcast out there!

Ineffably fascinating, sometimes baffling and with seemingly no intent of being humorous but still is. Simply an original piece of automotive podcasting that is unmatched by the many others out there.

Imagine third wheeling two good friends that have fascinating conversations. And in this case, third wheeling is positive. Sit back and enjoy!

Effing lovit!

Never stop, I’m addicted!
Finally something worth listening to for car nerds with a sence of humor!
