In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James,and special Guest Chris, celebrate the “normal” cars that stole our hearts — the everyday heroes, once affordable and accessible, that have since become icons… and in some cases, shockingly expensive. From humble hatchbacks to family saloons, we explore why these cars connected with so many people, and how nostalgia, rarity, and desirability have pushed some values through the roof.

• The everyday cars that turned into modern classics

• Why some “normal” cars are now worth serious money

• The emotional pull of cars we grew up with

• How rarity and nostalgia fuel the collector market

• Which affordable icons are still within reach — for now

What “normal” car would you love to own again? And which ones do you think will be the next to skyrocket in value? Let us know in the comments.

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, Ant, Will, and Ben (from Mile By Mile Valeting) look back at their dream cars — and how those dreams have changed with time, experience, and reality. From childhood posters of exotic supercars like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche to more attainable modern classics, we explore how growing up, budgets, and practicality reshape the cars we lust after.

• Iconic moments that shaped our tastes: games, films, and car culture

Ant has just sold his Audi R8 GT Spyder – one of only 333 in the world – to invest more time into YouTube and growing the channels. In this episode of The Radiator Arms, Ant, Will, and Ben (from Mile By Mile Valeting) explore what comes next… how do you replace a supercar with a daily car that’s fun, engaging, and still something you want to look back at when you park it?

We dive into the realities of stepping away from supercars, the kinds of attainable cars that can still feel special, and the ones that stir your soul without draining your bank account.

• Why Ant sold the R8 – and what that means for the channel

• The emotional trade-off of letting go of a dream car

• What makes a daily feel “special” — and maybe even the best part of your week

• Real-world picks: from Alpines to Zs, M3s to AMGs

• Why investing in your passion sometimes means changing gear (literally)

Whether you're into supercars or sensible builds, this one’s for the car enthusiasts who still love the drive. What car would you choose to replace a supercar without giving up the fun? Let us know in the comments.

What don’t people understand about supercars! In this episode of The Radiator Arms, Ant, Will, and special guest Ben from Mile By Mile Valeting dig into the myths, assumptions, and realities of living with exotic cars. From awkward public reactions to the pressure of daily driving something rare and expensive, this episode pulls back the curtain on supercar ownership – and why it’s not always what people think.

We also explore:

• What it’s really like to own or work with supercars

• Common misconceptions from social media and the general public

• Why some people hate supercar owners (and why that’s sometimes fair)

• Cleaning horror stories and the anxiety of detailing rare cars

• Is it worth chasing the dream – or is it better to enjoy something simpler?

Have you ever dreamed of owning a supercar? Do you think they’re misunderstood? Let us know in the comments!

• Answering listener questions: cars, culture, YouTube and life

• Heated takes on dealership habits and unrealistic MOTs

• What we’d do with unlimited money and a chip pan

Ever wondered what would happen if we took over Top Gear? No? Well we did! In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will design the ultimate motoring show we’d love to make – while trying not to get sued by the BBC or Amazon. From absurd car challenges to testing supercars, oddballs and sleepers, even prank segments with unsuspecting parents, we explore how a modern, community-driven car show could look… and ask: “How hard could it be?!”

We also discuss:

• Forgotten car shows we loved (and what they got right)

• The best (and worst) ideas for fresh segments

• Sleepers vs supercars, obscure engine swaps, and the Rage Rover

• Giving young creators a platform and helping the next generation of enthusiasts

• Why YouTube is a real career for aspiring petrolheads

• Why car culture thrives when we share stories and help each other

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will bring it home to talk British cars. From the style and class of the E-Type, Minis, and Rolls-Royces, to the chaos and corrosion of Leyland and TVRs, we explore what really makes a British car British. Is it where it's built, who owns it, or how it makes you feel?

We talk about the cars we want to drive, the ones that broke our hearts, and why the best British cars are often the ones that shouldn’t have worked at all.

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will ask a difficult question: is car culture being ruined from the inside? From antisocial behaviour at meets to ridiculous burble tunes and burnouts in the street, are we giving councils, police, and the public every reason to shut down the very things we love?

We talk about the difference between enthusiasm and ego, where the line is between fun and foolish, and what car culture could look like if we stopped shooting ourselves in the foot — plus the real-world consequences that even the respectful enthusiasts now face.

In this episode of The Radiator Arms, James, Ant, and Will imagine a world where they’re in charge of transport policy. What new laws would they bring in? Who would they fine first? And what crimes would carry a lifetime driving ban?

From petty frustrations to genuinely clever ideas, the trio explore everything from middle-lane hogs to speed bumps, roundabout etiquette, road tax reform, and even some unusual ways to improve the roads (or make them more fun).
