Yup, and experience from other podcasts shows that it's not unpleasant to have someone even scrolling through pictures/material/web searches live if need be...as long as they're not totally ham-fisted and they display it well. It's actually really natural-feeling and good nowadays. Best to have pre-prepared pics too, though just to be smooth and to not have it devolve into live-googling only (I'd suggest several photos for each, as it's pretty quick to grab several while you're picking out the one photo).

As a massive car addict myself, this is the perfect podcast! Brilliant how each of you bring something unique to the conversation, keep it up!

Totally agree.

These podcasts are great ! Can top gear expand and have these as the new hosts to join Chris 😂

I love Neil!

Not normally one for commenting, but I'm loving the podcast as a regular fixture of my week! As someone who is relatively young bloke (having grown up in the Schumi era), who now pays a lot more attention to different disciplines of motorsport and is also active in sim racing, Chris' point of losing that build up and spectacle really does hit home. F1 from my perspective has lost some of the excitement and build up to weekends, and I feel the sprints just feel so artificial and out of place. It's telling for someone of my age, when I turned off midway through the Baku sprint last week, and just watched the whole WEC Spa race because it was much more exciting and enjoyable to watch (definitely wasn't the Caddy V8 in their LMDh). Not sure this will be seen by you guys, but please keep the pod going!

This gets better every week. Outstanding stuff boys thanks a mil!

Addicted…pub chats amplified. This is my Saturday am ‘me’ time. Keep smashing the chats gents.

Neil Clifford having a mild whinge is the weekly fix I didn’t know I needed. What a guy

I'm 27 reside in South Africa and everytime you bring up the songs I just remember the songs my parents listen to. So Belters in the car: Journey don't stop believing. Queen (there's a few but hammer to fall and too much love will kill you) Opus life is life Meat loaf I'd do anything for love(but I won't do that) There's lots of other songs (my mom would kill me if I didn't mention John Bon Jovi...) Then lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Roxette, Celine Dion etc. The reason why this podcast is working is that there's the past, present and future being discussed. I mean Harris's car pick (I didn't even know that thing existed) the closest thing I thought of was that big Pink 6 wheeled Thunderbird. Really please don't drop this, car nuts like myself are absolutely loving it.

Edit has been improving but would be nice if we had more illustrations of the cars that are being talked about

Best car themed podcast going, please keep these coming!

There are precedents set by dropping drivers into other cars, the Race of Champions is annual, but there's no reason why you couldn't use Chris's analogy of a series which could perhaps change the 'marque' every GP Friday and create a separate spectacle. It would also be a great marketing show for each weekend for the brands.

Another epic episode Gents, keep them coming as its now a major part of my week i look forward to....

*I find the world of F1 fascinating, just not the "racing" - I don't care which team is winning everything, but my heart sinks a little lower every time I see a DRS fly-by. Great listen as always.*

Edward, Manish, Neil, Chris, and Chris I am STUNNED. You've done Jaguar wrong just like JLR has. A massive topic was completely overlooked in recent discussions. I refuse to believe that almost all of you haven't had proper hooligan fun with a Jaguar 5.0L Supercharged V8. It deserves, at minimum, a special segment about that engine and the cars it powered for so long. I implore you to give that engine and the F-Type a fitting farewell. (I'm not even British, I'm a Texan! I'm crying in my margarita about over here)

I don’t know if you meant to, but you guys made the worlds best auto podcast. Keep it up

I've listened for a while to the podcasts, great company on a drive. But the video podcast is even better, great company on a sofa...

Deary me you lads are tough on ol' Edward. Still, more please.

Absolute Top Brass! Love the music selections today

@Collecting Cars Chaps, by the way the sound levels on your podcast version are allover the place and it is broadcast very quiet. Thanks. Loving this new version of chat by the way. Finally something for enthusiasts!

The smart way to go to a F1 race is to have headphones and a radio so you can listen to commentary. Then you can actually pay attention. Luckily my old Nokia Windows Phone had a radio built in so I could use that back in 2013 when I attended the Canadian Grand Prix. We also had a huge screen so we actually followed the race quite well - I'll always remember DRS chicken with Fernando and Lewis.

Great work chaps...... keeping coming....... it could where the covered wagons are going............

Another treasure trove of petrolhead nirvana - amazing work and keep em coming! Neil, you are a legend! The heinous bmw spoiler you regaled was attached to the 330ci club sport which was available in either estoril blue or sapphire black, with manual, SSG or auto trans. It had less sound deadening than a std 330ci and silver cube carbon trim (I used to sell them new/used) 🥳

i'm an addict!! - love these, the range of topics and opinions is great, as someone once said - content, content, content 👍

When you said worse spoiler, instantly the F82 M4 GTS came to mind...

I loved the discussion about lightweight cars. Great points were made. I appreciate what Neil Clifford said about wanting a light EV sports car.

When we talk about Max, we also have to talk about his flame-fanning engineer on the radio

im surprised the 2 car did not have one of those crazy gemballa mercedes specials - keep up the good work boys !

Lovely podcast boys, keep them coming!!

Loving these

Spot on choice of Vantage F1 spoiler being horrific - whoever designed and signed off needs to be fired. Modern version of M3 GTS spoiler is the RCF Track Edition... looks completely like an afterthought with no cohesion with the rest of the car

The discussion about lightweight cars is spot on, together good weight distribution light weight is central to driving enjoyment.

OMG Manish got through a whole opinion without name-dropping!

Thank you for shittin on the E46 330 clubsport spoiler, it was the first image in my mind when i heard the topic! :D

lightweight rear drive is wonderful if you love driving. Chris Harris’ massive smile testing the first Toyota 86 convinced me to buy a Subaru brz (brembo version) and I couldn’t be happier.

pretty sure the front spoiler on the Countach was to meet US federal bumper height requirements. Most were removed by by customers on delivery.

Back in about '88 a friend fitted a ducktail spoiler to his Beetle. Driving down the local test track (read: country road), I suggested it was doing nothing but add drag. My friend protested and said he could really feel the extra grip at the rear. As we approached the next corner he said, 'watch this' and floored it as he turned in. We spun 180 degrees. Ahhh, the folly of youth.

The Cannonball Countach front spoiler is actually a 'bumper' for the US-DOT compliance.

If this wasn't available every Friday morning anymore, I'd be angrier then an angry thing. There isn't a discussion I've been indifferent too! Thank You!

A “spoiler” does exactly that… if it actually has form and function, I call it a “wing”

On F1. I wouldn't mind if they did a throwback weekend where qualifying takes place over Friday and Saturday with no "Q1/Q2/Q3" in either of the sessions. Those last minute poles on the Saturday by Senna were amazing.

Fast becoming one of my favourite views

Another great Podcast, as a thought for the name “5 cylinders with added valve bounce” yes this next comment is perhaps a little late in the day 1) how to save Jaguar - set up Jaguar to do recreations of ETypes like Eagle, and other classics like XK’s but with modern running gear, carbon fibre body, perhaps like Singer has done. 2) F1 - agree with Chris Harris, make the street circuits a one make series of F1 driver like a Toyota Yaris (or other manufacturer which is not involved directly with F1, then have them wrapped in team colours and ask the drivers to autograph them. After the race these could be auctioned off to raise money for a local charity 3) Other content - have you done best gear selector? Nothing else for now other than to ask that this kept going please

Angels, Thanks for that. A lot!

That Alpine A110 is such a cool little car. Wish we had it here in Canada.

my vote is that at least a half dozen times throughout the season, everyone has to get into an F2 car, with the top 6 or so points drivers in the F2 series, and have a sprint race for the 'sprint championship'. Then we get to see how good the drivers are in the same equipment.

Great video, as ever! Though I don't understand the mystery about the "steering feel", for example, it's one of the few feedback points you get on a SIM?

So many sage comments on the F1 situation. The DTS situation has started to get to the heads of the team owners and F1 management. I also think that now it gets more media coverage, they are desperate to fill proverbial column inches so every little quote and word is over analyzed, such as ‘boring’ I don’t mind them trying to make more entertainment but don’t tamper with the Sunday. I would be happy for them to have reverse grid sprint race on the Saturday in order to make a spectacle and then the sport on a Sunday.

Northern California car nut - Lighter weight - my 914/6 GT IMSA race car from 1970's was 898 Kg full cage to suspension extremities, fuel cell, 10x15 & 12x15 wheels etc. A Corvette driver operating the scales at Sears Point "No wonder you fly by me into corners at 1980 lbs your 400 lbs lighter than my Corvette". Yes it was and my 1999 and 2003 Porsche GT3 Cup cars fueled up were 1225 Kg. Give me a light car please...

Can't believe I've listened to 16 of these - that's a whole day of my life! And yet strangely, doesn't feel like time wasted ........... My other half plays guitar and we both sing (not professionally) but strangely, never in cars

Loved the lightweight discussion but why wasn’t there a mention of the king or perhaps prince of lightweight Gordon Murray?! I’ve often looked at the f1 and how much body roll it had, all of which was mentioned. As for obsession, it had a specially commissioned alpine cd changer 😎

Worst factory fitted spoiler? Lotus Esprit Sport 350. It looks aftermarket, I'm guessing it was bought off the shelf from an aftermarket supplier (along with the wheels).

Curious, considering you have a couple of broadcasters in the mix, that you have not spoken about the coverage of F1 from a production standpoint. Is there a decent director? Are the cameras in the right place to see the muscle of these cars pounding around the track? Will the commentators please shut up for a minute every now and then so we can hear the roar of the engines? Are the interviewers asking the right questions of the team bosses and the principals? Are the graphics any good? So what if Red Bull is way out front if the coverage of the real racing further back is covered well? Thank you and please continue your lovely work.

I have to say, I agree with Chris on the M1 Procar comment too. I went to Catalunya a couple of years ago, and the support race Porsches were far more entertaining. Starter for 10 on the rear wing- Ariel Atom V8.

Light weight cars - love the idea, definitely better to drive as an enthusiast but always tend to have something that holds them back from being all time greats. Also the recent “light weighting” all just screams marketing BS. Certainly the likes of BMW with the CSL, I mean, get a grip. In this era I think car size is more important than weight due to the fact like you say they’ve cheated physics these days. The cars just don’t need to be so big. I’ve owned an original M2 which was so fun to drive, the right size for the road and just as practical as any other four seat car. I then moved into a manual 14 AM roadster. (Sick of losing money on new cars) Less practical but it’s softer down a road, everyone loves it, it’s got the look back factor, it’s also the right size for any road, it deals with speed bumps and when you get on it (at my level of ability) it’s just as agile down a road as the M2 but it’s definitely more of a momentum car because the V8 is lazy (but great sounding) in comparison to the M2 engine! It needs more thought on a track but is actually quite surprising in capability certainly to my mates and us amateurs. I think people get too tied up in thinking they’re actually able to get 8/9/10 tenths out of their cars… the reality is most are like 6 at best and so you really don’t need an GT3 or 2 RS etc. You just need a nicely sized mid powered car that’s around 1600kg or less (obvs we all want less but it’s barely possible these days) and you’ll have the best time of your life. Or enough money to own something like a Caterham and a daily. Although the big numbers of supercars is intoxicating, the 488 scrambled my brain after being used to 300-420hp cars previously 🤣🤣

964 RS. Fun but very pretty. The last tank of petrol! Yes, in what and where. And to hell with speed cameras. In an early Covette, your last tank of petrol whether you intend it or not.

There are many various single vehicle championships out there, a number of these the drivers raced in junior formula, but it’s not really equally, because each car has a separate team and engineer who can find the way to get the best out of car etc. so I don’t think you can ever equalize it enough to say who is the top definitively.
