Paddy Comyn has spent his life around cars, initially as the son of a motoring journalist before then following in his father's footsteps. He then switched to the other side with a role in public relations where he had the unenviable task of managing Volkswagen's Dieselgate crisis. We discuss influencers, the changing media landscape and some of his favourite cars.

On this week's episode Cormac enlightens us on his recent experience with the fire brigade, the restoration of his Mini and what life is like with a kei truck. Meanwhile Dave is considering whether it's worth keeping his Audi A2 or replacing it with something else.

There's already been plenty said about the Ford Capri being resurrected, but hear our two cents as we were at a special preview of the car. We also report on another recent car show and lots more, all from the comfortable interior of a Volkswagen California camper van!

We're back after a short break with a big catch up on what's been happening and what will be happening. This week we discuss the latest BMW M5 and why it's a retrograde move, how the electric MINI misses the mark and preview an upcoming classic car show.

This week Cormac has yet more exciting Renault Twingo news and we do some crystal ball gazing. Is electric the future? Do combustion engines still have a use? Dave sits down to discuss this and much more with Christian Schultze, Deputy GM at Mazda Motor Europe R&D. There's even some discussion about what the next generation of MX-5 could be.

These days car names aren't what they used to be. Cars often sound more like appliances today than a form of continental seduction they once did. Will we ever see a return to days when cars were sounded as sexy as Mangusta, Miura or Lusso? We also discuss the ongoing plague of the modern-day car spotter, who seems to prefer rummaging through your bins than appreciating a car from a respectful distance.

We start of this week's show with a plea to end to sheer stupidity that we see on our roads every single day. But we don't want to be moany Michaels here, so we also discuss the recent Herbert Park car show and delve into what made the humble first generation Renault Twingo so damn adorable.

We're back with another stonker of a show that includes everything you need to know about the Bicester Scramble and why you need to get to the next one. Dave has also been discovering some of the most epic roads Morocco has to offer and there's news about an upcoming Dublin show.

This week on the show Simon Deane sits down with Dave Humphreys and Cormac Singleton to give his first interview about the fire that destroyed The Engine Block. He discusses how he began in the business, built Ireland's first automotive hub, the fire that destroyed it and what happens next.

Proving that we're all human, we start this week's show with an apology and correction about a Honda we discussed in last week's show. Dave drives the ballistically fast Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and describes what it feels like to go from 0-100km/h in 2.2 seconds. That and lots more!
