It may have taken months, but finally we're releasing the response to the previous episode where Tommy and Chas went through for sale ads, picked out some cool cars for various categories and now they are looking back to see what sold and what was still for sale at the time of podcast recording.
They also ponder a bit of picking up of cars from a distance in a single go.
Also discussion on broken cars, previously owned cars and chasing down disappointment on the toilet...

Well the interviewer has become the interviewee as we hand over the reins of Three Car Garage to Simon Coulson. This time, to ease things in gentle we get to delve the thoughts of David, the usual presenter for Retro Rides. With choices ranging from Japanese rarities, through to stylish grand tourers and a very practical family car we arrive at a three car garage that should let David enjoy all aspects of his car life in comfort and/or style. There is also a bunch of discussion about what wasn't picked, which feels like cheating...

We're very pleased to have grabbed an hour of Chris Pollitt from Car & Classic and his own Not 2 Grand blog to chat about cheaper older cars, misadventures, surprisingly good cars, Morgans, Limp Bizkit headlamp violence, never learning and, fixing a car with a Pepsi can on a campsite. Such is the life of our friend Chris. Hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we did recording it. We even managed to edit out the pre-record stuff at the start this time... *cough*

Today we're talking to a man who celebrates the average, Mr. Hubnut himself, Ian Seabrook. A long time friend of Retro Rides our conversation meanders through how he got started doing Hubnut, cars that have surprised him in both good and bad ways, the decline of the British car industry, the misunderstood gem that is the Honda Prelude, as well as road trips, those average and not so average cars. Hopefully you'll enjoy the conversation as much as I did.
His channel (if you don't know already) is @HubNut on Youtube.

Super pleased to joined by Dave Smith, editor of the relaunched Street Machine magazine and previously editor at American Car Magazine. We chat about how he got in to cars, his route to American cars, relaunching Street Machine, content for magazines, electric vehicles, Max Power, the future of modifying and all sorts of other stuff. Always a lovely time chatting to Dave.

Iain Kelly (aka Marv) is an automotive writer from Australia, working with the likes of Street Machine magazine as well as authoring the Mighty Car Mods book (and lending his skills with a spanner to them occasionally). He has a great depth of knowledge of the Australian scene as well as a deep well of stories to pull from. A very enjoyable chat was had covering cars, meeting your automotive heroes and the changes in what is an acceptable amount of power in a road car.
