The boys explore all the hard hitting issues this week including the shortage of chips, used car prices and the Suez Canal blockage. We look at April Fools jokes after VW advertised its new name - Voltswagen. After selling the Passat Peter talks about his new purchase - Porsche 996 911 Turbo S.  Halil questions why ute loving Australians are not being satisfied with the super size utes from America.  Ross compares his childhood dream cars to the speeds of cars from today - Can a Yaris beat a Testarossa around the Nurbingring?

The boys are handed the keys to the 2021 BMW M3 Competition and take it for a drive.  It's a thumbs up with some caveats - plenty of room inside with all the usual BMW switchgear, the steering is great, the gearbox an improvement over the old DCT but the sound is a little muted.  During the drive we test the hands free capabilities with a call to BMW's Bradford Berry.  He explains to us that the car is not run in and requires a first service to unlock launch control.

Peter and guest host Chris Poulos from Kollector Cars ventured out to Auto Italia Canberra where they interviewed some of the world reknown judges, Vince Thompson, Joe Quattrochi and Sam Movizzio.  We find out how the judges dwindled down from 600 cars to the eventual winner.  We also learn from Sam, as a member of the International Judges Advisory Group, how he became a preservation judge at Pebble Beach, one of 2 Australian judges to reach such a level. We debate which decade was the best for Italian car design and look at the future of the Italian car.  Follow us on Instagram and email us [email protected]

Peter and Halil drive a 1985 Holden Commodore SS Grp A affectionately known as the Blue Meanie. A different era, a different sound that is rarely seen or heard today as the boys commemorate the efforts Holden went to to homologate the humble Holden Commodore to go racing in the Touring Car Championship both in Australia and globally.  Follow us on Instagram and Facebook and email us [email protected]

David, a listener of the podcast, invited Peter Ross and Halil to drive his Porsche Taycan 4S.  We drove it slowly, we drove it quickly and it performed like a Porsche. A surpirse Tesla turned up and the Porsche spoiled the party. Peter performed a launch control start and experienced the change in gears in an electric car. The optional steering wheel feels like alcantara but is made from recyclable fishing wire. During Ross' turn to drive he tails a police car. The verdict - Porsche has brought a gun to a Tesla knife fight!!! Follow us on Instagram and email us [email protected]

Peter joins the Weekend Drive Crew on a weekend road trip through the New England and Hunter regions of New South Wales.  At the mid way point in Armidale, Peter is joined by some of the crew - Kat, Con, Chris, Gary, Tony and George. Kat is the logistics and route planner of the WDC and explains how the Crew came about.  We learn about some of the cars that make the trips and also hear about some of the mishaps including a run in with a pelican!!!  Follow us on Instagram and email us [email protected]

Peter and Ross talk about their recent drives in the BMW M2 Competitions, M3 Competitions and M4 Competition at Sydney Motorsport Park.  With the recent rain the boys discuss driving techniques in the rain. Ross wants to know from the BMW Genius why updates remove particular features from the car and Halil wants us to enter a car in the $2,000 race challenge.  Follow us on Instagram and email us at [email protected]

The Cars and Cannoli crew invite Peter and Ross for breakfast.  Some of the members Paul Sparsis, Cos Carbone and Bruno Tocchet, talk about their cars and how the group came about with close to 30 current members. Bruno talks about his Ferrari 328 - a reliable car with reasonable running costs. Paul talks about his BMW M5 Competition which made way for his current Porsche 911 GTS. Cos talks about his recent buying experience of a Porsche 996 GT3 .. with no role cage.  We look at the history of the Targa and how Peter's 993 Targa was parked after 2 blocks driving.  Ross reminisces his first Sunday drive in his supercharged VW Golf R32 Mark V.

The gang celebrates 100 shows with our closest friends who have supported us including Bradford Berry from BMW, Tom "roving reporter" Dimitrakas, Chris from Kollector Car, my brother George Ronis and Andrew Smyrnis international correspondent.  The panel debates the past present and future design language from BMW compared to other European marques. An EV debate caused a kerfuffle - environment v better technology. Peter reminisces about the frist episode how we predicted the demise of Holden.  We look at what the second hand car market is doing one year into COVID-19 and look at how hisrotic registration works.  Follow us on Instagram and email us at [email protected]

Tom "the roving reporter" Dimitrakas joins Peter Ronis in a Porsche 911 993 Turbo in a wedding procession for George Ronis' wedding.  The procession includes a Porsche 993 Targa, Porsche 997 Turbo S and the ultimate Porsche 991 GT2 RS Weissach pack.  Tom and Peter talk about the different Porsches and we hear the GT2 RS overtake. (Unfortunately the recording ends abruptly as a technical error muffled the rest of the recording and we salvaged what we could)
