With Collecting Cars present at Bicester Scramble, our Addicts recount their many experiences at what they call "the best event for people like us", from a McLaren 'full house' to a Can-Am Lotus; variety was the word of the day.
Our Addicts share their favourite YouTube videos, including U2 at Live Aid, some French hillclimb POV & more!
Significant debate is triggered in this episode by the question: "what do we think of driving gloves?". With Edward Lovett providing a quasi-poetic understanding of how they may be used, and Manish Pandey being offered a pair by Bentley never to use them; opinions differ wildly.
It's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy episode 62 of the Collecting Addicts podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What is the best armrest in a car? Our armchair interior designers decide on their favourites: hard or soft, wide or thin, equipped with fridge boxes or 'non-American' - no detail is spared!
What is the best way to spend a long drive? Alone, with one's own thoughts, favourite music, or podcasts offers quality undisturbed time.

In other news, British luxury and supercar manufacturers have been experiencing some major changes, but are there great things on the horizon, or is this yet another reshuffling of debt and talent within an ageing industry?
