IAN & GEOFF’S BIG ADVENTURE… We took a day out to visit Lakes Autos, the well known Volvo breaker, and then The Shuttleworth Collection.

Join us for three Podcast Chats and three detailed videos.

We’ll be taking a look at my new purchase, then taking a long walk around Lakes Autos and discussing how some of the cars got there, even delving into the MOT history of the cars piled up. After that we’re off for lunch at Shuttleworth, to enjoy a relaxed afternoon walk around the hangers full of aeronautical history. There’s some superb planes and cars, and a few beautiful buses too. Enjoy!

I think this is a pretty explosive podcast... Join Geoff and Adrian in the camper van to ask if we are doing policing all wrong. Let's understand how a speeding ticket radicalised Adrian, look at why the UK policing system victimises the innocent and ask if there's another way.

Something a little different for this one... a long form chat with one of Geoff's oldest friends. We're talking some tall tales, before going into some pretty meaty stuff.

In this video Geoff and Pete discuss the recent ULEZ protest, in detail.

Dr Mike Yeadon doesn't need too much introduction, but you might not know that he's a motorbike and car fan who's recently been shopping for a new car... Geoff and Mike sat down in an old Volvo to chat about all things motoring, and to go over some of the big subjects too.

James Ruppert is the man with the pen behind the Bangermonics movement. As an automotive journalist, James has written for all the big names and still writes for car magazines today.

This is probably my favourite piece I've ever written, and in some ways, the only one that matters. It's not a death wish, and it's not a suicide note... It's both. I always joked that if I was going to go out early, it'd be in a stolen Porsche, off a bridge, backwards and on fire... But this story changes the narrative and I guess launching a Volvo 850 T5 into the ocean whilst attempting a dive from the sunroof is a good second best.

Seriously though, if you are struggling with depression, reach out to The Samaritans on 116 123. Don't suffer alone. It's a strong dark one from Geoff.

Make yourself a brew because this is a long one…

Join me as I explain the Volvo 740 Turbo Saga. 

This car popped up for sale recently, and it took my back a few years to when I owned it - twice. 

My Volvo 740 Turbo Estate story includes a very ropey Ford Fiesta Zetec S, angry Brother Geoff, some left foot braking, Drew Pritchard in a Volvo teaching 3 dodgy dudes in dodgy tracksuits in a dodgy Audi S3 a lesson, a very-not-road-legal VW Caddy Pick Up Truck, a Mercedes W123 tow truck and a swing from a huge profit to a huge loss.

There's also a story-within-a-story where I explain how I bought a Vauxhall Corsa for £85 at auction and got laughed at by everyone who was there.

It's another roller coaster ride and this time it's 100% true!

Are you that man...?

Well after a number of dark videos I've decided to split out some of my writing (my stories) into a separate playlist...  You can just listen to these without watching, they don't have lots of editing or visuals, so sit back, tune in and enjoy.

For this week's episode of Geoff Tells Stories we're looking at the Rover P6 Day Incident, a completely 100% true story from 2016...
