A pet peeve of mine – jumbled junk in the car – particularly stuff that doesn’t really do anything useful.  It’s not just accessory shops that are guilty; manufacturers, too, can get a little carried away.  
It’s not all iffy though: ever heard of a Vibrasonic, do you know who designed the interior of the first Dicovery, and which cars have umbrellas?  You’ll be blessed with all this essential knowledge after you’ve heard this week’s edition of Car-Chum.

If you’re looking for the most complex description of Saab’s model line up and numbering system or you enjoy questionable renditions of ‘Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off’, allow me to recommend this week’s edition of Car-Chum.  If you want a considered and serious digest on second generation car models like Ford’s Capri, the C2 Corvette, Mercedes W210 E Class and the Jaguar MkII…you’re still in the right place.  Sort of.

Mike teaches Tony how to say Alpine (as in A110), Tony teaches Mike how to say Pallas.  And was Marcus Tandy’s A610 really an Alpine when it blew up in the last episode of BBC’s Eldorado?

Swedish-square design, dependable dating and tiny wheels all feature along with an unbreakable Range Rover Classic and the marvellously mundane Sierra, Montego and Volvo 240.

Tony accidentally stumbles on Mike’s favourite subject – cars of TV and Film fame.  Turns out, he knows rather a lot about it.  
Ghostbusters, James Bond, Dukes of Hazzard, Inspector Morse and, of course, The Blues Brothers all feature on this star-studded episode of Car-Chum.

Exploding aircon, taped-over service lights, dogleg gearboxes and stationery Rover P6s.  It’s a quality start for Car-Chum.
