Once again, Nick has talked his way behind the wheel of a premium automobile, and is ready to share his impressions, his tips, and his definite plans to probably maybe start to consider possibly finding out if he might be keen to look into purchase options in the future. Just Going For A Drive is BACK with a beaver-teeth-to-quad-pipe review of the mighty, terrifying BMW M4. Six twin-turbo-charged cylinders of podcast-fuelled fury!

Plus, we continue our series of car-based romance advice*, and drop in what's been going on in the world of roads, driving, and how the Betoota Advocate stole one of our stories.

Coming at you from beautiful Downtown Glenelg, Sam and Nick drop their hot takes on the very best that Adelaide's booming car scene has to offer. We feature all the All Japan Day car meet has to offer and more, recorded from the Just Going For A Drive Mobile itself: Sam's Nissan! Meet our surprise special guests, who were surprised to have a microphone jammed in their face from a Good+ quality JDM special.

Plus, we pass on the finest dating advice available from two mid-tier specimens like ourselves to anyone who thinks cars make a difference.

Top speed talk. Real talk. Don't speed, people. Don't top speed, bottom speed, side speed. Anything. Just settle into the slow lane and listen to Nick and Sam dance carefully around claiming any sort glamour around whether going fast is really the point of driving. Plus, we get into the strangely slow death of music in cars. Where are the pumping subs? The teenagers with definite hearing problems? The actual fans of comedy hip-hop? Let us ask you this: do you keep singing to your favourite Celine Dion song when you're stopped at the lights? Or do you chicken out?

And, speaking of take-out chicken: we mull over the ubiquity of the car industry's answer to the rotisserie chicken: the Toyota Camry. You don't even need to think about it. Just get one for your family and the job is complete.

WELCOME to Season 2 of your favourite podcast. The driving one you can listen to while driving and thinking about driving. In this blockbusting, bumper-to-bumper episode, we boggle our minds at the thrills, spills and dills that are Australia's holiday season streets. We eulogise the dead (yes: DEAD) icon of holiday motoring: the humble, practical station wagon. Sam pays tribute to the multi-generational family mechanic of more than 35 years, and Nick overcomes his prejudice against all American cars with perhaps the first fitting entry into the automotive Hall of Fame (which isn't a thing, but we've got to start somewhere).

Worry not, dear Just Drivers! We are back. Sam and Nick stagger from the post-Xmas pit stop to give the latest on car races, proper meet manners, and whether we just might do a Xmas episode. We warm up the vocal chords and moan about petrol prices.

Set a new lap record on our latest bonus episode. And tell us: do you have a car tat?

Burning rubber! Slowly. And unevenly. Damn. How are wheel-alignments where our lives are at now? Sam and Nick tread carefully through the sticky world of tyres, and teach you how to change a flat, as well as how to avoid the embarrassing tutting of the Mobile Mechanic who has to come and torque off that last nut. Come and find out what the hell we're talking about, and decide whether you are really okay with filling up from both sides of the car.

Our feature car this week is an eternal classic. Is it the true definition of attainable supercar? Will you request overnight parts ... from Japan?

First released in 1963, almost immediately re-named because of French people, and mostly driven by the elderly, it's ... a very special episode of Just Going For A Drive. Sam and Nick straighten their cloth caps, comb their beards, and record the starting mileage in a small, leather-bound book using a Porsche-branded golf pencil, before clattering off into the hills and autobahns in possibly the world's gold standard of sports cars. We talk about the 911's weird lay out, its (actually quite accurate) image as a middle-of-life conveyance, and dream of the Singer Motor Company configurator. No, that's not the brand of sewing machine Porsche uses to hold together the tartan seats. Listen in to dream along with us. And pick up some handy investment advice while you do!*

* Do not follow any financial advice given out on this podcast. Or by anyone playing around with the Singer configurator.

Get in touch! Tell us the name of your car. Your thoughts on driving!

Everyone wants one, but have you ever seen someone actually smiling in a Ferrari? Have you? Like Batman and Bruce Wayne, a grin and a Fezza are never seen together. On this episode we ask (and answer) the big question: does owning a Ferrari make you unhappy and how can I get one as soon as possible so that I can also feel this feeling? (We told you it was a big question.) Then, to lighten things up, we head north from Italy to the sunny British Isles to ponder why the country where grey cardigans come from produces some of the most beautiful, unreliable cars ever made (not the toughest segue from Ferraris, it must be said). Finally, in driving stories, we put the boxing gloves and poking sticks away, and share our Best Drives Ever.

Come for a drive with Sam and Nick.

TEN! Ten. Ten episodes. Can you believe it? We can. We can believe it because we're there. And we celebrate this milestone (another driving term!) with a bumper episode dedicated to our beautiful listeners who write in. Nick and Sam answer Hannah's question "Why the hell are you zooming across all of those lanes? And why don't you know about indicators?". We shout-out to long-time supporter, Steph the graphic designer, and try to make her proud (or at least slightly amused) as we tackle the complete spectrum of colour on cars. Yes, the complete spectrum. That's about 5 or 6 different colours, right? Sam is a bit colour-blind. And, finally, instead of a specific make and model, we salute listener Kristina's Kia Carnival with a deep dive on the Family Van.

Thanks to everyone who listened this far, whether it's your first episode, or your tenth!

If you heard "Mighty Subaru" and thought "Mighty Boy", then this is the podcast for you. Somehow we forgot all about the world's tiniest ute, and went for the world's tiniest van. The incredible Subaru Sherpa stars in our Stories of Cars segment as a young Nick learns about rally driving, again forgetting about the most obvious Subaru rally machine, the WRX, until later in the episode. Rounding out your full-fat selection is the actually incredible Kia EV6 GT, the supercar destroying family mini-SUV thing which will be answering the age-old playground question: "What if, like, we all, you know, just had, like super-fast cars and zoomed everywhere all the time??" The answer being the very boring "We'd, uh, akshully, um, crash all the time?" But not on this podcast. Nick and Sam bring you the crashiest crash stories and the finest motoring tips. Enjoy.
