EPISODE007: A broken toilet, barbed wire fences and other anecdotes of domestic doom, the Renault Clio growing up, swan songs with the Lotus Emira, more nightmares in Gqeberha and a one man hut in Dalmas

We take you through the emotionally exposing experience of having a toilet replaced through a man named Jako (with a k) while Tom has the interior decorators smashing his walls down, Berlin styles. After we’ve both purged enough trauma we eventually get to talk about Tom's new long termer, a Ford Mustang GT and how cool the mustang’s been in the muscle car culture. We then jump back over the lake and reflect on my experience driving two special mid mounted V6’s, the Lotus Emira, th...

EPISODE006: The unhinged sex culture of bowls clubs, mercy visits for classic cars, entering a 24 hour race in a lemon and an economical Isuzu on a horrible trip to the Eastern Cape (They all are)...

In episode 006, we forget the timer on this one and shit talk longer than usual. One hour and 30 minutes of pure, unadulterated shit-talking. We reflect on life lately, including a drive in an original Mk1 GTI, the moral code surrounding mercy visits for classics and a deep dive into the 24 hours of Lemons Ilamuna Endurance Challenge where Tom recalls his experience and I bring up mine along with a Chery Omoda….and the Chinese SUV takeover where Tom interrupts me a lot. We also reflect o...

EPISODE005: Tom says goodbye to a special car, we argue why Toyota should be racing the Vitz and why BMW should send us the new M2. Lastly, we pay homage to the time Robocop shot that dude in the dick.

After a break in service, we touch on the emotional roller coaster ride that is owning special cars and saying goodbye to them before jumping on the press car of the week in the garage being the Toyota Vitz and why this should be made into a race series to bring back to life Group N racing. We then jump onto the topic of CVT Transmissions and why it was banned in Formula One and if it wasn’t banned, just how good the Honda HRV could be. Finally we reminisce about the RS3/BMW240i performance s...

EPISODE004: 80s nudie mags, distasteful mods & a crop dusted Isuzu D-Max, Baby

In Episode 004 we jump into the hot topic of car mods but not as hot as the sultry nudie pics we have in the Speed shop aka the single garage in town. Regular guest, Times live Journalist Tom Falkiner, reflects on his time he met Magnus Walker and then I reflect on the time I received hate mail from a Scirocco driver. In the garage this week we have Isuzu's D-Max cab and a half. It's a banger!#motoringpodcast Support the show

EPISODE003: Romanian espionage, feeding Roger McCleerly tentacles and luxury SUVs with s****y AIRBNBs

We pay homage to our new Romanian listeners after Dacia decide to make their Dakar announcement at some pretty strange timing following last week's episode. There's an equally odd press release by Sebastien Loeb and Tom reflects on his first launch experience with a land speed record attempt in a BMW E92 M3. There's more discussion around the Ford Ranger long termer while I reflect on my time with the opulent Range Rover Autobiography, eclipsed only, by a terrible AirBNB experience where Jays...

EPISODE002: The politics of racing, an ‘intens’ Renault Duster experience and why building a submersible out of carbon fibre is a bad idea

It's episode two, and we're getting deep into things. "The politics of racing"…a topic that we shed light on beyond the fanfare of "Drive to survive". Anchor guest and TimesLIVE Motoring authority Tom Falkiner shares some deep insights, and I liken my attempt at building a carbon fibre dashboard for the race car to Ocean Gate. Both of which rendered less-than-average results. We also chat through the debatable hot topic of "Most underrated car driven". Sit back and enjoy…Support the show
