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.)

Be honest: everyone loves a van.  Well, loves driving one – a hired one – anyway.  Today Tony asks Mike to join him in a commercial free, commercial episode of Car-Chum.  Everything from the humble Transit to the Espace F1 is here – not forgetting the Supervan, something promiscuous from Alfa and those strange conversions from normal cars.  Join us, arm out of window, on this episode of Car-Chum.  Vans.

What are the last two cars you drove?  Not your everyday conveyance, obvs.  That was the plan for this edition.  And I stuck to it.  My auto-journalist, Car-Chum Mike kind of did his own thing to do with Bugattis.  That was no bad thing though and it all made it through the edit on the grounds of being jolly interesting.  A Bentley, a Tesla and a terrible joke all feature alongside in this edition of Car-Chum.

Ever dreamt of taking to the water?  All that freedom, tranquillity and relaxation.  What if you could drive to the sea, river or pond and just…well, carry on driving straight in?  That’s freedom for sure, but maybe not so tranquil or relaxing. 

This week Tony and his Car-Chum Mike explore the niche world of the amphibious car.  Ahoy!
