February 07 EP82: Retromobile round-up & the Chrysler ME412
On this week’s podcast, Dave and Cormac give you the round-up on all the best bits of the 50th Retromobile show and leave you with no excuse not to put it in your diary for next year. From literally tripping over McLaren F1s to the sublime Talbot-Lago T26 Grand Sport.
There were more halo Ferraris than you could shake a stick at plus some incredible Citroen concept cars from the past alongside one very new one. We run through some of the idiosyncrasies of France's Presidential cars with DS and celebrate the Peugeot GTI family. Oh, and a Bugatti train, anyone?
Speaking of enormous quad-turbo engines, we delve into the rather wonderful and oft-forgotten 2004 Chrysler ME412.

February 03 EP81: Car disaster stories; self-service workshops and the Tata Nano
On this week’s podcast, Dave and Cormac answer some of our listeners’ questions across a variety of topics. Is there a gap in the market for a workshop facility for people to work on their own cars? What are the disaster stories that have helped shape your love of cars? Was the Tata Nano a game-changer or something that should be consigned to history and never spoken of again?

January 24 EP80: WTF is a BMW Vixen? 2026 F1 preview & more
On this week's podcast, Cormac lifts the lid on the Vixen 21, a BMW-powered motorhome from the late 1980s penned by DeLorean co-creator Bill Collins. The innovative design seemed quite futuristic at the time, but, like many such things, it was ultimately a sales failure.
And ahead of the new F1 season kicking off, Dave does his best to explain what’s new, who’s driving what and how different things will be for 2026.

January 17 EP79: RIP Twingo; Citroen BX 4TC; Peugeot 205 T16; Volvo C30 Electric!
This week’s 50to70 podcast focuses on the obscure - no surprises there. Dave has been behind the wheel of a rather unusual Volvo for a start, the C30 Electric, which was part of a trial fleet of around 250 cars used by employees and select customers. Featuring an innovative heating system, the C30 Electric remains a very interesting car 15 years later.
Sticking with the unusual, Cormac lifts the lid on the Citroen BX 4TC, a short-lived and largely unsuccessful entry into the Group B World Rally Championship during the 1980s. Although 200 were produced to satisfy homologation requirements, only 86 or so were ever sold to private buyers, with the rest reportedly being repurchased and destroyed.

January 10 EP78: Volkswagen Golf Rallye; Bicester Scramble
The Volkswagen Golf Rallye is a homologation which was based on the Mk2 generation. While the GTI is the better-known performance Golf, the Rallye was a four-wheel-drive special that, in many ways, was the forerunner of the modern-day Golf R. Cormac takes us on a deep dive of a very special one-owner example he's been driving.
We also get slightly excited about the Bicester Scramble that takes place this week. Maybe we'll see you there?

January 03 EP77: New Year, New Us, Same Sh*t; Skoda Elroq RS; BMW Alpina
We start off a new year with a big thank you to you, the listener. Cormac has been running a Skoda Elroq RS. It's his first time spending an extended time with an electric car, so how did he get on?
As of January 1st, Alpina is now fully-owned by BMW. Is that a good thing? We discuss.

December 13, 2025 EP75: Toyota GR GT supercar; New LFA; Renault sale; JLR Design boss out?
Renault has done its own version of Cash In The Attic by auctioning off a whole heap of different things it had lying around. From parts of its fine art collection (yes, you read that right), to design studies, a working prototype of the original 5 Turbo!

Toyota also set tongues wagging this week with the unveiling of its all-new supercar, the Toyota GR GT. We run through what you need to know and explain what's happening with the next-generation Lexus LFA!

There was also a scandal at JLR, where it was reported that its design boss had been fired. Conflicting reports remain, but we discuss what's going on and what the future holds.

November 29, 2025 EP73: Wet Nellie; New Porsche Cayenne; Italdesign Nazca C2
Did you know who Wet Nellie is? You might not unless you're a James Bond aficionado. But don't worry, as all will become clear on this week's podcast, as Cormac tells us how someone unwittingly ended up snagging the bargain of a lifetime after one of Bond's most famous cars was totally forgotten about.
Meanwhile, Dave tells us all about the new Porsche Cayenne Electric, and we go down memory lane with Cormac as he recalls the rather special Italdesign (BMW) Nazca C2 supercar from 1991.
