We’ll be taking a look at my new purchase, then taking a long walk around Lakes Autos and discussing how some of the cars got there, even delving into the MOT history of the cars piled up. After that we’re off for lunch at Shuttleworth, to enjoy a relaxed afternoon walk around the hangers full of ae...
Dec 22, 2024•32 min•Transcript available on Metacast I think this is a pretty explosive podcast... Join Geoff and Adrian in the camper van to ask if we are doing policing all wrong. Let's understand how a speeding ticket radicalised Adrian, look at why the UK policing system victimises the innocent and ask if there's another way. It's a long one, but hopefully you'll be as riveted by what Adrian has to say as I was...! Here you'll find all the links to this detailed podcast with Adrian Ward, QPM. Sign up to the Motorists Action Network https://www...

As an automotive journalist, James has written for all the big names and still writes for car magazines today. However James also runs a business selling fly screens. Yup, fly screens...!

Apr 12, 2024•53 min•Transcript available on Metacast This is probably my favourite piece I've ever written, and in some ways, the only one that matters. It's not a death wish, and it's not a suicide note... It's both. I always joked that if I was going to go out early, it'd be in a stolen Porsche, off a bridge, backwards and on fire... But this story changes the narrative and I guess launching a Volvo 850 T5 into the ocean whilst attempting a dive from the sunroof is a good second best. Seriously though, if you are struggling with depression, reac...
