Jon and Andy are joined by Porsche journalist Lee Sibley (9werks Radio, 9Werks TV and Total 911) to chat about his Dad's cars... Or, as it turns out, his Dad's Vans.
Despite living in Essex, his Dad had a penchant for commercial Mazda's rather than the typical Ford Transit that was produced locally. 
Lee recalls travelling down to Barcelona whilst the World Cup was on, and breaking down.
Later on, his Dad breaks down and calls a mate for recovery, and even flips a coin to barter the final price of a van he's already won on ebay.
A great discussion, we're pretty sure you are going to enjoy it - especially if you already follow Lee's work in print and online.
Please note, there are a couple of mild swear words in this episode.

In another bonus episode, Andy and Jon discuss how the Bangers and Cash Live show went, who they met, what they learnt, and whether they would go back 'up north' again?!
Apologies for the delay in getting this one out - it has been manic since we returned from Yorkshire, including Andy needing to go to Cirencester for work the following weekend. Where he did run into Becca from the Passenger Seat Podcast (an anecdote not mentioned in this episode actually!)
Thanks for all the support - Enjoy!

Lots of bonus stuff recently, you lucky lot!! 

With the ULEZ expansion just a week or two away Jon and Andy discuss the implications for someone who lives within the ULEZ expansion zone and is about to be charged for the pleasure of driving an older car. 

Jon's 1998 BMW E39 5 series has nothing wrong with it, and it got us to Yorkshire and back in wonderful German comfort, but he's now faced with the reality of selling it, scrapping it, or storing it away and not knowing when he'll use it next. 
Such a shame. 

Jon and Andy discuss the process of how to appeal the classification of your vehicle and joke about using photoshop to amend the manufacturers data - DO NOT DO THIS! 

They also touch on the vandalism of the ULEZ Cameras. Whilst both against this ULEZ expansion, we are not encouraging of vigilante behavior - DO NOT DO THIS!

If you would like to buy Jon's 5 series get in touch - [email protected] he might just sell it to you.

Jon and Andy are joined by Matt Glassup for a great chat about his Dad's Car (and a few belonging to his Mum)
Talk ranges from muscle cars, a convertible Camero that his Dad sold the sofa to be afford new wheels for, a Mustang, a string of high performance Mk1 Capri Dragsters, Porsche 968, Ford RS Turbo, Porsche 964 and a Fiat Uno with wobbly panels! 
A great insight into growing up in a family around drag racing in the UK, Europe and beyond. 
We think you're gonna love this.

Jon and Andy are joined by Danny Hopkins, the editor of Practical Classics Magazine! Wow! Someone famous! Danny and Andy have chatted before, and as a trained actor you can enjoy some wonderful story telling, including him working on cars with his Father, and his Grandfathers (twice Nobel prize nominated) Triumph 2000 which he later restored and repainted, except the patch of headliner above the drivers seat which is still stained and smells of his pipe smoke!
We jump into Austin Land Crabs, and Danny explains why they were so good, and Alec Issigonis' favourite car (over the Mini, no less!) We also touch on Austin 3 Litre, and later on a personal note a Triumph Spitfire Danny found in a barn, a Honda Insight and a twin turbo Mitsubishi GTO that's already earnt Danny a speeding ticket!
Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did making it.

Jon and Andy are joined by Sara McLeod who talks with great passion about her late father Brian. 
An engineer by trade, Brian worked for the Metropolitan Police, drove an unmarked Mini, had a Vauxhall Cavalier he hated, loved a strong Volvo and wished he'd discovered Volkswagens years before! 
Lots of laughter, and some great stories... "My Dad wasn't James Bond... he was Q" 
Hope you enjoy this as much as we did recording it.
Recorded by Zoom.

Jon and Andy are joined by Andy's friend Mark Thompson for the first episode of season 2. 
Mark and Andy are friends through a shared interest in old VWs and Porsches. 
The discussion starts with Mark's earliest car memory, a Reliant Scimitar that smelt of fuel, it then gets deep into old Fords: Mk2 Escorts, a Lotus Cortina, a Sierra Cosworth (or Cotsworlds, as his Grandad called it) and plenty of tales of his Mum and close calls with a tree and a closed garage door whilst learning to drive. His Grandparents get plenty of mentions and his Grandmother had a very special way of keeping her cars shiny...Pledge! 
Hope you enjoy this one as much as we did recording it. It's packed with treats, you may even need to listen more than once. 
Recorded by zoom.

It seemed fitting to put a little something together in celebration of Fathers Day. 
So here is a  very short and silly snippet of an interview Andy did with his 7 year old Daughter before the podcast became a real thing...
This was recorded in early February 2023, with no script, purely to test the equipment and the concept. It was quite funny, so it was kept for a special occasion!
Jon will be back with Andy for Season 2, with episode 1 dropping in early July. 
in the mean time please follow us on Social Media, leave a review on your favourite platform and consider shouting us a coffee to help cover the production costs.

Jon and Andy got in touch with Becca from The Passenger Seat Podcast feeling there had to be a story to tell. Becca, in her mid twenties, drives a Morris Minor every day and records a podcast from, yep, you've guessed it... The passenger seat.
What was it about her parents choice of cars that led her to skip the Corsa's and Kia's that her peers might choose and opt for and oldie instead.
A great discussion with reference to 1930s Singer Le Mans sportscars, saloons, Singer Vogue models from the late sixties, Riley Elf, Singer Chamois and Hillman Imp, and of course, Peggy, her own Morris Minor.
You can follow Becca's podcast on You Tube  (and the usual platforms) here: The Passenger Seat Podcast - YouTube

This is the tenth and last episode of season 1. We will be recording new conversations in the meantime, but plan to release Season 2 Episode 1 in July 2023. 
Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for listening in.
