    #6 - Ian - What did I say to the Dodgy Volvo Seller?

    IAN & GEOFF’S BIG ADVENTURE… We took a day out to visit Lakes Autos, the well known Volvo breaker, and then The Shuttleworth Collection. Join us for three Podcast Chats and three detailed videos. We’ll be taking a look at my new purchase, then taking a long walk around Lakes Autos and discussing how some of the cars got there, even delving into the MOT history of the cars piled up. After that we’re off for lunch at Shuttleworth, to enjoy a relaxed afternoon walk around the hangers full of aeronautical history. There’s some superb planes and cars, and a few beautiful buses too. Enjoy! Part 1 - Can my mystery car get to Milton Keynes? https://youtu.be/vtBbLRwKb5w Part 2 - What did I say to the Dodgy Volvo Seller?

    #5 - Adrian Ward - Are we doing policing all wrong? Is there a better way?

    I think this is a pretty explosive podcast... Join Geoff and Adrian in the camper van to ask if we are doing policing all wrong. Let's understand how a speeding ticket radicalised Adrian, look at why the UK policing system victimises the innocent and ask if there's another way. It's a long one, but hopefully you'll be as riveted by what Adrian has to say as I was...! Here you'll find all the links to this detailed podcast with Adrian Ward, QPM.
