Talking Utter Slot episodes

  • "How Many Handbags Would You Like?"
    In which we canonise Dave Kennedy, invent handbag pit-boxes and use the word synaesthesia entirely appropriately. Scott details his many eBay bargains from this week, quoting both Vivienne Westwood and Oscar Wilde, while Pedro talks paint. There's also some discussion on the limits of will power in the face of continued availability of Policar Ferraris and MR Slotcar Shadows.

  • Talking Utter Cobras
    Somewhat jet-lagged and half asleep (you decided which is which) we seize, gently, the opportunity of being halfway through the year to weigh up the current runners 'n' riders in the race for Slot Car Of The Year. Inevitably there's what caught our eyes (guess what made Pedro swear) when we talk utter Cobras. And Corvettes. Later Scott quotes Churchill and fondles a 934 while Pedro has a cosmic revelation about cheese balls.

  • Le Mans - The After Party
    Quiet, please. Scott is recovering from his epic racing weekend, which we discuss. Also: we destroy Italian pronunciation, Australian and Lancastrian accents and broaden out to do movie reviews. We drive Lunar Rovers and quad bikes, patronise those two listeners in America we once had; discuss the price of a Trannnnzit-ah and wonder about Bond films that never had 'slot' in the title. All that and more, plus Pedro regurgitates his fondness for... what?

  • Longing for Le Mans

    Releasing episode #24 on the eve of the 24hrs of Le Mans?


    It's almost like we planned it.


    Expect talk of La Sarthe, that Jenson Bunsen and his Garage 56 entry, Stars 'n' Stripes liveries and Fassbender news. Pedro also shares his opinion of white liveries, especially Chaparrals and there's a suggestion the DiSCA 24hr slot car race should create a Garage 56-style entry for a Talking Utter Slot team running a box standard Carrera.


    Scott also reports back on all the fun of the Abergavenny slot car rally (spoiler: he came last).

  • The Road to Abergavenny

    Scott has gone rally-mad ahead of his trip to Wales for the Abergavenny Rally Slot Car Club summer event. His excitement is palpable. Expect Manta banter, news of Nissans and mention of Mitsubishis to come.


    Pedro's fondness for rally cars is more muted, despite confessing to owning several SCX Seat Cordobas, so he throws in an impersonation of a much loved regional retailer to cheer himself up.


    Also, how warm English beer is not the best thing to strip the paint off (of) a Stratos, a scarily long list of Pedro's W.I.P and some scenic daydreaming triggered by Magnetic Racing's most excellent wares. There is some schooling on GT classes at the upcoming Le Mans 24hrs, but as it is right at the end most folk won't have to listen to it.

  • The Lay-by on the Road to Gaydon
    Finally the sleeps are over! In this episode: a breakdown (not mental); a race report (did the hubs even turn?); Scott paints a picture of the meet and goes wistful over Minic; Pedro's love of Landies, cheese-balls and scenery surfaces; and did either of us spot Vincent from Australia? Oh, and Pedro mentions his wins. Did I mention Pedro mentions his wins? He does. Pedro mentions his wins.

  • The Road to Gaydon

    How many sleeps 'til Gaydon?


    In this episode we pretend it's not today today but Friday instead. The big question is: has Pedro's heart been taken by, a) the news of the NSR Corvette, b) the news of a Sideways Huracan or, c) daydreaming about Bo Derek (again)?


    Whatever, the cracks begin to show as he also points the finger and accuses Scott of having a chip on his shoulder. Not to be outdone; Scott sneezes and threatens the Welsh with a TR7, leaving Pedro to clear his throat and the pair of us to ask, who is this Vincent from Australia anyway?

  • The Steve McQueen Gulf Porsche #20 Special Edition
    First up Scott doubtless offends the French with his history lesson, then possibly redeems himself by declaring his lurve of the Fly Renault 4 Turbo. Second up, Pedro doubtless offends the French with an accidental suggestion of garlic-flavoured cannibalism and does not redeem himself. Then there's disagreement over Avant Slot's Beemer news and then there's an Australian accent, a bit about the little known Seventies Ferrari driver, Mandretti, and some LMP2 chat before we all learn of Scott's descent into the dark side of tuning. Plus Pedro hatches a plan to moonwalk to the Policar Classic F1 podium at Gaydon. You know I'm bad. I'm bad. Ow! Hee-hee! Shamone!

  • What Caught Our Eyes, What Got Our Goats This Week and is Zak Brown Royalty?
    The Coronation Special. In which we discuss, amongst many other things, is it possible to avoid Can-Am? What was in Scott's parcel last week? Doing stoppies with a Carrera, and there's more Fassbender love/gushing from Pedro. Also, Scott shares some red hot financial advice and Eighties hip-hop stars Run-DMC's excellent decals get a mention. Walk this way.

  • In Which Pedro Interupts Scott (apparently not for the first time) and How Many Hubs is Too Many Hubs?
    This week we convened for an all expenses paid lunch (thank to all the subscribers for buying all that merch') with an expensive and disappointing sticky toffee pudding but that barely gets any mention. However, the joy of scenery, tickling fish, Pedro's commissioned Sideways Lexus that arrived, Dave Kennedy's perspective and Scott's hospitality all get full coverage. Plus, we discuss what sells in international departure lounges and should we stop aunties and uncles buying Scalextric? Yes, you read that right; tickling fish. Attention-seeking podcasting at its best.

About Talking Utter Slot

From the publisher's feed

Grown men playing with slot cars is much more fun if you don't take it too seriously. Be it Scalextric or Carrera, NSR or Slot.it, or even old Ninco and Fly, there's fun to be had with all of them…
