One in, one out:  that's Car-Chum's new mantra.  Not Tony and his Car-Chum, Mike, obvs - rules!  Make a new one; get rid of an old one.  And please, please, please make sense of Road Tax and City Emissions rules; they're both madly complex and self-defeating.  

If you read that, you just saved yourself 27 minutes of listening.

Give Car-Chum twenty minutes of your time and it will give you the collective noun for a group of Woodlice.  Add to that, some design language, no bad language and some learned discourse and you have this fortnight's quickie catchup with the Chums.  We call it Car-Chum's Car-Share.

If History Lesson 1 wasn’t enough…  Tony and his Car-Chum, Mike, take a meander back through pioneering times just after the turn of the century.  Who knew they had hybrids and four-wheel steering then?

Recorded in 2024, this episode sat abandoned at Car-Chum Studio Park and Resort...until now.  With the passing of Gene Hackman, the content took on a some sense of purpose, so I dug it out and gave it the briefest of polishes.  It's a bit raw, but timing is everything.  Tony - that's me - is joined by his Car-Chum and auto-author Mike Renaut.  Mike takes his research seriously and watched The French Connection several times in several rooms, on several sofas, in black and white and upside down for this episode.  Was it worth it?  You judge.

Tony’s been to the F1 Experience and his Car-Chum, Mike, has had an experience.  In a gutter.  On the plus side, he got a badge for doing it.
