Andy and Jon chat with an ex colleague of Andy's, Tim Crighton.
Tim grew up with his Dad running a race team, and competing around the country. 
He was also lucky enough to benefit from his Dad starting a Kart circuit, which led him to get behind the wheel himself aged just 7.
Fast toward twenty something years from his debut in T cars and he's just competed at Goodwood Members Meeting in two different vehicles, much to his Dad's delight as "wire wheels and carburettors are best".
This discussion takes in a Rover 827, a couple of Mk2 Golf GTIs, a Scirocco, a Calibra and a few different vans as well. 
It also gets philosophical, and dabbles with vehicle investments too. It's a gem!
We hope you enjoy it.
Andy and Jon.

Jon and Andy are joined by Andy's friend and ex work colleague Lidia. 
Lidia was born in Italy and grew up in Naples. We talk about her Dad's brown Mini (and how he never cleaned it) her Aunties Citroen Dyane, a Volvo that got crashed, a neighbour's Citroen BX and her brother driving aged 12!
A great chat with lots of laughter, and amazingly, if you know Lidia, not a single swear word! 
Hope you enjoy the show.

Jon and Andy are joined by Jon's good friend Ben Burns. 
A few notes before we tell you what's in store.

• We know Phil Collin's album was actually called No Jacket Required... 
• Ben's Dad is called Phil, but he's not Phil Collins
• There are a couple of little sound glitches on Ben's recording, sorry about that.

Ben share's memories of a blue Ford Escort estate, racing his Grandparents in their Shogun to Saint-Tropez. The Escort was later replaced with a 1982 Rover SD1. 
A few tales of Ben's own vehicles made it in to the episode too, a Vauxhall Nova, and a Harley that he bought without having a license! 
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did making it - there's plenty of laughter!

Andy Gregory and Jon Recknell host My Dad's Car, a new podcast discussing automotive nostalgia and the vehicles owned by significant people within your life.
In this episode they set the scene for what is to come, touch on why they started the podcast and put a few goals in place for dream guests too. 

Andy and Jon are ex-work colleagues and have been friends for 20 years. Professionally both have worked in marketing within the automotive industry, and outside of work  both married with 2 young children.  Living in the South East of England, albeit 50 miles apart, these episodes will mostly be recorded remotely, and typically feature a guest on each one.  

Whilst this isn't a podcast about 'dead Dads' both Andy and Jon have sadly lost their Fathers and will naturally discuss matters surrounding bereavement at times. 

Due to the nostalgic nature of the podcast, subjects such as smoking around children and travelling without seat belts are also likely to crop up.
