The Car Podcast with Chris Harris & Friends

This week, the team put on their thinking hats/balaclavas with their answer to the 2CG on how to get away with a bank robbery! They also debate the merits of Shell V-Power – or more specifically its alternatives – and their views on the Ferrari 296 sales numbers. This and much more – we hope you enjoy!

(00:00) Intro

(00:50) Ferrari has allegedly stopped taking orders for 296’s – due to many going unsold. Is this a large error, or just a blip on the radar for the behemoth that is Ferrari?

(17:45) Shell has run out of V-Power – do you use the ‘cheap’ Shell stuff or go to BP for its 97 octane?

(30:45) “Hybrids are now allowed to be sold until 2035 in the UK, and water is found to be wet. More news at 10”

(40:54) Is a nod of the head enough to say thank you on the road, or must a hand be waved in acknowledgment?

(51:18) Red Bull appear to be imploding – predictions for how the race will finish at the end of the season
