  • Rear Engined Cars

    This is a fascinating topic and one that we have tried to pack as much information into an episode as possible. 

    We cover the cloudy history of VW and Tatra and the rather wonderful vehicles developed by both companies. We also investigate Mercedes, Porsche, and the ever controversial Chevrolet Corvair. There are Renaults, Hilmans Imps and let's not forget the Tucker!

  • Automotive Unicorns

    Some cars are rare because their incredibly advanced manufacturing techniques mean they can only be made in low numbers. Some are rare because of their immense price...

    ..Others used to be everywhere and you hadn't even noticed that they had all but died an disappeared from our roads. Some where undesirable, some were too odd to market, many rotted, rusted and broke down one too many times! These are the cars of todays episode.

    We have Talbots, rusty Lancia's, miserable British Leyland cars and a bizarre story from Australia.

    This episode gave us a chance to have fun with cars that are interesting but with a major budget constraint. Sport cars, practical family haulers and a wild card needed to covered.

    We love cheap cars because anyone with a bit of budget can get into enjoying cars. The Ferrari's and the 300sl Gullwings are all well and good but we are never going to get are turn in one, are we.

    Rx8's and Skoda Estelle's are on the menu for this episode!

  • Air Cooled Volkswagens

    Brace yourself because we let Matt loose on his favourite topic on the planet, car related or otherwise!

    Obviously there are Beetles and buses but let's not forget the other gems from VW's air cooled days. How about some type 3's, type 4's, or type 34's? Maybe you can tell a Karman Ghia from a VW Thing but can you identify a VW Fridolin?
