What’s the opposite of a Mini?  A Maxi.  The opposite of a boring automotive podcast?  Car-Chum.  And a Main Stealer’s parts counter?  A scrap or junk yard.  And that’s exactly where Car-Chum has been consigned to today.  Join Tony and his Car-Chum Mike as they bathe in oil, balance toppling cars and play with the geese.  The geese?  Keep listening…

They say ‘use it or lose it’ and clearly I don’t.  I’ve already forgotten the difference between Fleetside and Stepside. Best listen to this fabulous episode of Car-Chum again to jog the mind.  Pickups – that’s the subject of this Car-Chum episode.

If you set the rules and make up your own criteria, you can argue anything with this one.  As Tony and Mike ably prove in this edition, there are so many parameters for what makes a truly great road car.  

The Chums mange to agree on quiet a few in the end though – even a winner.  Of sorts.  So download a copy, pop it in the 8-Track, cassette deck or CD changer and relax to the sounds of Car-Chum.

Car-Chum doesn't do Special Editions; we leave to Peugeot and Ford in 1992.  If we did though, this episode would be one such example.  And so much more than just a tilt-only glass sunroof to make it special.  Join Tony and Mike at the Beaulieu Autojumble 2023 as they rummage for treasure with Matt Richardson from Furious Driving, Steph from Lancaster Insurance (and I Drive a Classic, of course), Danny Hopkins of Practical Classics fame.  The Chums also get a guided tour of the Autojumble from Beaulieu's Ben Coleman.  Oh - and they also ride the Monorail.  Well, it'd be rude not to.

I got my Car-Chum Mike to promise he wouldn’t make me guess a year that pre-dates my Bronze Age relatives.  To be fair the year was good.  Mine was a lot newer, so hopefully there’s something for every taste.  And what taste you have in choosing the Car-Chum Podcast.  Sit back, savour the delights of the second instalment of The Golden Hour – and guess the year.

The Golden Hour, The Mystery Year, The Time Tunnel, The Time Machine:  I was spoiled for choice when naming this edition of the Car-Chum Podcast.  Any of those would have done.  In summary, my Car Chum Mike and I pick a year and describe the significant cars, entertainment and events, while you play along with us trying to guess.  Fun, fun, fun.  That’s Car-Chum for you.

I reckon Car-Chum listeners are more likely than average to have a collection.  What do you think?  In this episode, Tony and Mike delve into the art of collection curation and try to pinpoint what works – and what doesn’t work – when it comes to displaying it.  Or them.  To collect or not to collect? That’s the question for this episode of Cr-Chum.  Join us, do.

I normally like to be creative with the Car-Chum episode titles, but not today.   It’s a podcast and it’s mostly about Number Plates.  Not much more and not much less.  Of course, you’ll find all the usual Car-Chum Podcast fayre here, too:  a bit of wit, wisdom and at least one fact.  Number Plates then…go on, admit you’re just a little bit interested.
