Where is episode 35? Come on lads, chop chop!

this is becoming a "thing" guys.....love it.

Where's episode 35? I need my therapy session! 😂

Have I missed episode 35? My Friday night therapy session did not come up last Friday. Please come back soon gents. Love the collecting addicts.

Enjoyed this in person on Sunday, thank you. Against a back drop of stunning machinery / the odd start up and not forgetting a certain woofer keen to join in… 😂 There were no retakes - was impressed it’s as relaxed and genuine as it appears - friends chatting / others enjoying in a ‘safe space’ - top work 🏁

Chris H I'd love a Jonny Smith type idol chat series with Chris C, Manish, Neil and Edward. The Idol chat you did with Jonny is epic and it would be great to see you be the host unearthing the backgrounds of you podcast colleagues!

Agree with Chris H about the 275 as well haha. Wouldn’t say no to one but it’s not as pretty as the 250.

Edwards 911 story! Mine is the 944 as a kid. Probably what instigated the love of cars. Also best rear seat, primary school, back in the 90s dad had a 750il with a tv in the back with a VHS slot 🤣🤣

Friday morning Im in my garage working on my bike and listening to the boys. One more podcast and my bike will be finish. 😊

Ahh yes finally Friday again chaps. Well done we made it !

no podcast this week?

Neil is allways right! Especially about Lamborghini.

They said they were just going out to get some milk. Our dad’s aren’t coming back boys 😢

I had the pleasure of attending. Very fortunate as I was already coming to the Sunday at the Concours. Great live show, lots of fun. I listen every week. Best podcast by 'miles'

So glad you were able to make it down and join us!

Also a new defender driver is the sort that doesn’t move over on a country lane where an old defender driver would drive halfway into the hedge to let you past.

2 weeks ? All on some exotic holiday ?

It’s my fault they haven’t released any new episodes the last couple weeks. I just discovered this podcast and everything I love always goes to shit.

Great improvement in video and audio quality over the previous live show 👏

Thank mother nature! The last one was torrential rain and we struggled!!! Lots of learnings...will only get better and better!

Impressed that everyone contributed to make space in their schedule to have a chat together and let us be flies on the wall. Thanks so much chaps

Most memorable back seat, being taken to golf in a mate’s dad’s E38 728i 👌

Utterly love this podcast. Thank you for your time.. 💪

This show get's better and better! Also glad to hear the MK1 MR2 getting some love 👍

effing love you guys!. This is the best thing on the internet my far! Can't wait to see you at Bicester....

30:49 is a hell of a freeze frame

can't wait, also love you 4's fashion taste in the thumbnail

Lads whats going on here. Whats up with the radio silence. Shit anyone that loves cars just want to call me for a chat!?!

Just come to this after watching CH driving that man next to him (NC) in a GT3 RS around Castle Combe. Fun and entertaining.

Absolutely Brilliant Guys 😊

Brilliant as always

The greatest, thanks chaps!

Brilliant as ever

Very enjoyable as always 👍

As per usual , I can’t wait !

Cherished number plates. ST11 LTT presented itself to me today on a Porsche Pamamera. Made me smile

Those troosers are outrageous I wondered what had happened to my old Grannies table cloth ! Love pop up headlights , I bought a 944s2 twenty odd years ago loved that car especially driving it at night , it was an event turning the knob and seeing them rise out the bonnet . That last statement sounds slightly weird .😂

17:00 Manishs psychopath test happened to me, lady in front still had the engine running, looked me in rear view mirror, laughed and decided to turn engine off instead of moving forward! When she was in paying the other cars to the right moved off and I moved to the pump in front of her and she got blocked in and absolutely hit the roof! Karma.

Fantastic as always, gents. The Classifieds sounds great - would love to see 'Interior colour' in there as one of the possible search criteria, if not at launch then perhaps in a later update? Keep up the stellar work 👍🏻

This #podcast goes from strength to strength! It is soo good! I look forward to it each week! Keep them coming and you guys need to go on a road trip together and film it!😅❤

Is the pocket sized man filming TG hence the radio silence?

Joyous as ever. Cancelled a meeting a work just so I could watch this live. 😂😂

Nothing like waiting to listen to my other dads.

Mind your lip young man.

Hey guys, missing my intake of your podcast this week! Going to have to watch the F1 instead now, saying that it should be good for a change

Had to be one of the best episodes 😂

This was great. Needs to be longer.

Neil: you say you aren’t able to love a Japanese car. Have you seen in person the Toyota 2000GT? Style, grace, performance, c’mon mate that has to be the one.

BMW trunk lid mounted tool kit was awesome, had it in the E39, no longer on the E82. Would add, spare tire, full size ideal, but even a mini spare is a nice to have with complete lifting/jack set.

My wife enquires why the start time is now 9am. Mrs M, usually listens to it whilst applying her make up and now has to wait until 6pm as she, like many others will be at work. Please can you see fit to amend this. Regards, Mr M.

Awesome 👍

2024 Car companies should offer a base spec, luxury spec, sport spec and a 1980's spec on all the cars they sell. The 1980's spec would have no screens, no electronic aids. Just all analogue and buttons with pop up headlights.

Hi! I really miss your podcast, it’s been almost 3 weeks! I listen on Spotify, maybe I’m in the wrong place? Somebody know more??? Thanks!

Best yet....

When’s episode 35 waiting for F1 Singapore comments ?

Watched this in the early hours, per my "normal" at the moment. Congratulations on the 34th episode. It was nice to see that the virtual chemistry you 5 have is also seen in the physical world where you are all together..... and the relaxed conversation/content is SO different from the prescribed and obviously scripted TOP GEAR days of the Clarkson era and more recently, I hope the "show" continues to adapt and develop and endure. We need to know the story of Neil's trousers! Raised before....will you be filming and releasing a video of the forthcoming track day? CC launching a Classified section....what took so long? Finally, would you consider doing a coffee run further south west [Exeter?] - it's a long way up to Bicester and back in a day

My fuel cap fits into the gap just nicely to jam it open😂

Adding to the pop-up headlights discussion, how do we feel about modern interpretations of those headlights ie the “eyelids” on the Ferrari SP3 Daytona?

Yep, I don't get the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale either. A cynical play on one of the most beautiful cars ever. The building of supermarkets in petrol stations (whilst useful) totally interrupts the refuelling process. Its total chaos whilst someone does their bloody weekly shop! My car has the filler on the ns, which is an advantage and often pushes me up the waiting list. I have noticed that if you do move your car to the benefit of others, you usually get a snide remark from the attendant ( who has probably already alerted the police), making you feel like a criminal. Shadow still the best rear seat, although in my youth good experiences in the back of a Maxi 😉

Why is there no new episode? They are usually published on friday mornings (in Europe).

That's much better Chris Cooper mic not working , that's why you have diffent colours (make sure orange goes to Chris c guys ok) Epic as always, don't worry Chris we could hear you and without all of you yhe POD would be the same.. thanks for your efforts guys. Epic

What's happened to this weeks podcast 35 ? I know it was a day later (Saturday16th from Bicester), but no sign of the thing on YT!!

The 275 doesn't look quite right! I totally agree! I thought I was the only one. Had to comment on that.

I hate it when I agree with Harris. But I completely agree on everything concerning the Alfa 33, I Also don't like the "new" 8C, but in fairness it's a well designed car and I understand why many say it's beautiful, it just doesn't do anything for me. And I'm almost embarrassed, but I even concur with him on the 911 Targa. It's gettin' worse, but even regarding the 275 (SWB) he has a point.

Best rear seat was been driven back from the pub by Paul Horrell in a brand new E39 M5 on a country Lane 5 up. It wasn't his and he hadn't been drinking!

Bugger, I'm racing at Snett on the 16th or I'd definitely be at the coffee run event. Maybe publish a calendar of live events for the year! Give us a chance to plan?! ❤

Am I the only one hoping they’ll bring a Camera Crew to their track day on the 11th? That would be a great piece of Content! 😄

Best thing ever given away from garages - Smurfs!

Most petrol caps fit the hole in the pump handle, in my experience.

Pay at the pump. I prefer a coffee to a Costa, In 10 years time we will just be filling up with Ammonia . Remember the forecourt sign "Free Nelson Mandela - with every 4 gallons " ! The rear of a Phantom. 'Space ,Grace and Pace ' (Jaguar brochure slogan for years ) The McLaren F1 had an onboard toolkit with solid Titanium spanners included. Cinderella was OK with 'Buttons' . The instruments in an XK140 the white needles swept past the black face with white numerals of the huge dials.

Neil Clifford is my Spirit animal. "There's a story to these Trousers" 😂

Hopefully you and loved ones are all in rude health and it is just life "reasons" keeping you all away. Hopefully you will be back soon

Worst car sounds: walking through a car park, a car pulls up and the driver pulls the handbrake without pressing the button. It’s the pits

I made my own petrol pump trigger lock and used it all the time, often getting told off…

FYI, a tennis ball fits perfectly in a petrol pump handle 😉

Rear seat E39 M5 handily answers both the original and dyslexic versions of the question 😉

I used to hate driving from wilmslow to Birmingham for work. Now it’s fine because I listen to you lot for 4 hours. After seeing your pants I’m going to stick with the listening and not you tube. Anyway. A question for the panel… the most engaging car driven slowly? Mines the boxster spyder 981 … the one before the 718 because the overrun noise is incredible

We had a car salesman that went to bmw bristol when hartwells rover where I worked closed , I suspect he may have worked with Edward , and another story I used to get the bus to work and had to get off and walk up the hill to Clifton a mechanic would pick me up in his 950 fiesta and handbrake round the sharp bends up to Clifton and his party piece was he would handbrake into the parking space at the top .😮

Going to have to wait for this until after the first day of Revival.

I keep an unused pop rivet in the car to speed up refuelling.

The moving away from the pump scenario… doesn’t the pump remain inactive until payment has been made anyway? Moving to the space outside wouldn’t necessarily help in this situation, in fact it could cause more frustration with someone trying to use an inactive pump. I take the point about easing congestion but ordinarily, I’ll leave my car at the pump and try and get whatever else I need in the shop in double quick time. Keep it up lads, highlight of my Friday morning!

KZread is flawed, you should be able to 'Like' something multiple times. Post-Diablo Lambos, Esso glassware, pop-up headlights, Neil's elegant description of Cycling Mikey, the accidental f-bomb, anything Manish says - I could go on.

I wanted to ask the same thing. I look forward to the Friday drive home banter. Please tell me they haven’t packed it in!?

I liked the video before I even watched it 😅

The French definitely don’t have the forecourt etiquette right. This past weekend, we sat behind an empty car for 5mins, eventually beeping so the guy came out to move, at which point he drove round to the other side and started filling up! He had just parked next to the pump and walked inside to use the toilet or something.

Completely agree with Chris C on the 33. It’s a shameless ploy from a dying brand capitalize on their history and if I were to choose a reimagined car from the past, I’d go with the Vision 111. Mercedes did a way better job reimagining the C111 than Alfa did with the 33.

I would love to hear you lecturing automotive designers about their tendency to design agressive front grills. Why are they pandering to the neanderthal, unfortunately among us. Isn't there already enough agression without adding more to your car? Audi used to have normal sized grills until the naughties. They had understated elegance. Now they're just like Chryslers. Don't get me started on Beemers and Lexi.

3rd week running and no podcast! What has happened? Was it something we said? Hope all is OK.

Looks like it’s not happening this week either

I've always felt the same way as Harris about the 275, it's just Ok really never been a huge fan of that design.

It's like a 250 GTO had an allergic reaction. Just looks bloated.

Best back seat has to be a Citroen CX Prestige, never bettered!

Gordon Murray has already beaten Alfa to a ‘new’ 33. Stradale meets Tipo in a much more delicate and waisted yet still muscularly haunched design.

Change description please... What car SHOULD you love but you don't just get it?

They can’t use the pump until you’ve paid!

Im collecting addicts, too. Just need a meth head to complete the full set.

For not liking Japanese cars, Chris Cooper sure does have a Hard on for MR2s, unless that's the other bloke

Neil Clifford is the coolest, most well dressed bald man in the world.

This is how you fill up at UK petrol stations using automatic-mode (not having to hold the trigger the whole time): kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqVssZdsZcuyo9o.html

I prefer you in your 5 prison cells. 😁😁

I'm guessing it's stopped because it doesn't make money. 20-30k views per episode is possibly decent for the genre but it's not going to make you want to do it continuously for no reward. I don't want it to finish btw, I enjoy the chat.
