My Dad's Car : Nostalgic cars of our childhood

Send us Fan Mail

Recorded a few days before Christmas, Jon and Andy discuss the closing of a chapter... It revolves largely around the sale of Jon's E39 5 Series, whether he will get another, and the process behind picking a CD to leave behind, as a token... Just as he remembers a Billy Ocean cassette in his Dad's car from years ago.
It's short and sweet, but we hope you enjoy it.

Andy and Jon are joined by Sam from Southern Cars in Manchester, a classic car dealership originally started by Sam's father 50 years ago.
From Ferrari's and Lamborghini's in the garden, to the chinese-eye Rolls Royce Cloud 3 that was the one he'd never sell... Although Sam's Mum did drive it through a garage door into the back of a Mercedes Gullwing one Christmas, and her parents didn't speak until Easter!!
This is a great journey through the world of car sales in the days gone, and how the classic car market has evolved to be internet based, with no need for a showroom in the modern day.
We're sure you'll enjoy this one!

Join Andy for a quick bonus episode with his youngest Daughter.
Not wanting to miss out on a feature on  the My Dad's Car podcast, they sit down for a quick chat to see how she's coping with her new found fame. 
Car wise, there is discussion about Nanna's car... A red Citroen C3 (that apparently looks like a Porsche) and Mummy's A4 estate. 
You can also have a sneak peak at a potential new Outro message that we recorded whilst chatting. 
Hope you enjoy it!

Jon and Andy are joined today by Dan Rees.
Dan is a friend of Andy's brother, and a jewelry designer by trade, he's also a dab hand at You Tube and Tik Tok, and a budding stand up comedian too.
By his own admission, early on Dan tells us that he's the worst guest we could get on, but that doesn't stop the chat, or the laughs...
Lots of silliness, stories about his brothers Mini, and later a Hearse, chasing would be car thieves with a screw driver,  and his Mums Polo getting pulled out a ditch by some Rugby players!
The tangent kicks in quite early as Dan recalls a run of his own cars, each with some wonderful names, many of which met their fate at the scrap yard after letting Dan down in service!
Lastly we enjoy tales from Dan's time in Australia, certainly not on topic, but being a brilliant story teller we couldn't bare to cut it out the edit!

Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did recording it.
Please do look Dan up at here : Dan Rees Jewellery and check out his You Tube too : Zebrano Wood Craft - YouTube

Andy and Jon took the opportunity of a guest no-show to record an episode celebrating the season of goodwill, and a few highlights from the year so far. 
Expect a recap of some favourite moments, plus insights into Jon and Andy's home life at Christmas with a bit of silliness sprinkled on top for good measure.
Normal service will be resumed next Tuesday with another guest episode.

Jon and Andy are joined by Mike Wall. A friend of previous guest Lidia, Mike is also a DJ, and was recommended the podcast after posting a photo of his Dad's car on social media. 
We chat about a baby blue VW Type 3, a Toyota Space Cruiser, and a Trojan Bubble Car! 
It's short and sweet, but we think you'll enjoy it all the same!

Jon and Andy are joined by Andy's mate Ed Jenkins for the first episode of Season 3.
A great discussion about cars of Ed's past, some discussion on aftershaves, watches which bring back memories for us all. 
Ed says "There's something very cool about driving a car older than you" which takes us on a tangent discussing first cars, and how some 'kids' these days are choosing classics rather than a run of the mill, modern super mini. 
Lots of reminiscing.. We hope you enjoy it.

We've put together a few outakes here for a bonus episode. It starts seriously-ish and ends in some very silly business ideas, as we continue to push the boundaries of what 'could' be possible with the My Dad's.... franchise. 
We hope you appreciate the silliness and don't take offence.

Jon and Andy are joined by Adam Townley for this episode. Adam isn't a personal friend but made some comments on social media, and they indicated there might be a story to be told!
Instinct was right and the discussion weaves from a buckaroo BSA that used to throw Adam's Dad off... It was retired from duty in 1981 and hasn't seen the road since. 
There's talk of Saabs, then Vauxhalls, including the popular Nova SR... not your typical choice for a family holiday or a booze cruise to France, but somehow Adam's folks managed both with him and his brother wedged in by wine in the back!
Later on Adam's Mum was given the luxury of an Astra estate, and then a 5 door Corsa. Adam's Dad has just given up driving, but he's picked up the Mini Cooper ready for his Daughter to start driving next year... 
Hope you enjoy this one, and if you are listening thinking I have a story like that, please get in touch!

Jon and Andy are joined by Jill Miller, a lady Andy has met through running a Porsche enthusiast group.
Intrigued by a social media post, he reached out and invited her onto the show. With a background in Porsches it wasn't the episode they were expecting, but it was great none the less.
Talk of a Land Rover called Mickey Mouse, a vintage Lorry collection including Bedford O Types and Austins from Cater, Paterson and Pickford. 
Talk also takes in Jill's fondness for Ford Fiestas and also of course, her Porsche infatuation too. 
We'd also like to say Happy Birthday to Jill's Dad who would have been 88 today (the day we dropped this episode) had he still been alive. 
Hope you enjoy it!
