My week in cars: the Autocar podcast

In this bonus episode of the Autocar podcast, Steve Cropley and Matt Prior have your correspondence. What four-metre long car is special enough for our listener? Will the AC Cobra Coupe be viable? What is Ford's strategy? 

There's much more besides too, as our pair basically randomly run off at the mouth about cars. But do give it a listen. And give the magazine a read, too; there's a great listener offer if you click the link here.
