World Leaders as cars; that’s the premise of this edition of The Car-Chum Podcast.  Important questions will be answered: what car would Joe Biden be…if he were a car, what comes after A6 and is there such a thing as a Mini Clubvan?  

The Car-Chum podcast is back with a bang after it’s summer holidays.

Happy holidays!  Car-Chum’s on a quick summer break, but we made sure to leave you with a few memories before I left. 
 I was tempted to cut out all the good bits and leave the rest, but it was too difficult to find them – so instead, here are a few other prime cuts.  Back soon!

Time for the second leg of Car-Chum’s lap of the UK.  This time Tony, Mike (aka the Chums) and Dr Andrew Roberts (aka someone who actually knows something useful) head west, then north then south again.  There’s a heady mix of cars, Littlechef, The Prisoner, George Fornby and Get Carter to look forward to here.  Buckle and up and join us!

It’s roadtrip time for The Car-Chum Podcast!  Author and automotive historian Dr Andrew Roberts hitches a ride around the UK with Tony and his journalist Car-Chum, Mike.    It’s a two-parter; there’s so much to see.  Cars, sites of significant interest, sites of absolutely no interest, Benny Hill, a Hovercraft and melon are the highlights of the first leg:  Norwich to Eastleigh.

In this episode of The Car-Chum podcast Tony and his automotive journalist chum, Mike, truffle out the annoying quirks that afflict some cars; unbelievably, sometimes by design.  Gear and radio select buttons that look and feel the same, sunroofs that tickle hair and mysterious faults that are never fixed.  It’s all her on this edition – welcome to Car-Chum’s Princess and the Pea.

Car-Chum pulls over to the hard shoulder of the motorway – if there is one, that is -  and savours the joys of a good breakdown.  Tony talks of missing gearsticks, holey pistons and head gaskets, while Mike splits discs and cracks screens.  All the bills and all the hassle – that’s this episode of Car-Chum in a recovery truck.

Reading.  Not the place in the Berkshire; the activity.  Reading about cars in particular:  that’s the subject of this edition of The Car-Chum Podcast.  Books, magazines and brochures.  Tony and his Car-Chum (and automotive author, Mike Renaut) barely scratch the surface of this massive industry, but they do reveal a few facts along the way…like who invented the 0-60 metric.

Tony and his Car-Chum / journalist Mike are joined by someone who actually knows what he’s talking about.   This week, Furious Driving’s Matt Richardson drops by to tell tales of driving, photographing, reviewing, Youtubing and importing.  Cars that is.

As crazy as it might sound, I thought it was a good idea to have a guest on Car-Chum this week who knows absolutely nothing about our subject.  Luckily, he has a good way with words and has a tale or two to tell.  So here it is: the episode of Car-Chum with a knowledge-free guest.  (You * should get a laugh though.)

Car-Chum heads to Portugal for a classic car rally featuring everything from a 911 to a Micra. Tony is joined by auto-author Mike – accidentally showing a byte or two of knowledge, the chums give a bit of context and history on each entrant.  
It’s all sun and fun in this week’s Car-Chum podcast.
