Overbore

Alex Robbins is a motoring writer who tests the latest new cars for a living. Richard Kitchen is an automotive engineer who spends most of his time bringing crumbling classics back to life. Together, they spend a lot of time drinking tea and talking rubbish about cars. So they thought they may as well do it with a microphone in front of them. On Overbore, Alex tries to convince Rich of the merits of the modern automobile - while Rich tries to help Alex learn more about running his classic. And along the way, they hope to help lovers of cars of all ages and types to broaden their horizons.

    The one in a Peugeot 106

    In the second episode of Overbore, Scrof and Kitch take to a Peugeot 106 affectionately known as 'Dumpit'. After a brief discourse on the subject of small Peugeots, Kitch gives a potted history of Noble, a British sports car manufacturer that was, for a time, well known, and discusses his attempts to get one of the firm's earliest cars to fit back together. Scrof, meanwhile, explains why he wasn't really feeling the Lamborghini he's been tooling around in (spoiler alert: it's because he's getting old and soft). Plus: the ethics of motoring journalism, and whether it’s time to rescind the MOT exemption for historic vehicles.

    The one in a Citroën BX 16v

    Scrof and Kitch kick off their podcast in an old Citroën, even though it's most definitely not a podcast about old Citroëns. Via a brief discussion about knobs and the vagaries of Ford Fiesta nomenclature, they eventually get to the point, which is to talk about starter classics (because they're just starting off - see what they did there?) They also discuss the new Renault 5 Turbo 3E, which hasn't got a turbo, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N, which makes fake engine noises (but is actually good despite this).
