Send Car-Chum a Text How we dart seamlessly between a humble 1.3litre Cavalier and a mighty seven hundred horse Hellcat has to be heard to be believed. Chuck in a couple of Matras, a Manta, Mercedes and an M1 and you have this week's Car-Chum. Support the show
Send Car-Chum a Text A new take on a variety show this week for CarChum. It started out as cars that just missed the mark, but ended up with a Skoda Felicia Pickup and a couple of average travel guides. And then there’s motorbikes, trains, busses and lorries. Probably the only things missing are planes. Support the show...
Send Car-Chum a Text I name a capacity; you name a car, model and preferably a fact that is both a fact and interesting. Add to that a no-Google guarantee.Sounds like fun, no? If you like that sort of thing. Luckily Tony and Mike do like that kind of thing and even accidentally displayed a hint of knowledge. Loads of brands, loads of models, a few things you might not have known before. That’s this week’s Car-Chum. Support the show...
Send Car-Chum a Text A pet peeve of mine – jumbled junk in the car – particularly stuff that doesn’t really do anything useful. It’s not just accessory shops that are guilty; manufacturers, too, can get a little carried away. It’s not all iffy though: ever heard of a Vibrasonic, do you know who designed the interior of the first Dicovery, and which cars have umbrellas? You’ll be blessed with all this essential knowledge after you’ve heard this week’s edition of Car-Chum. Support the show...
Send Car-Chum a Text If you’re looking for the most complex description of Saab’s model line up and numbering system or you enjoy questionable renditions of ‘Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off’, allow me to recommend this week’s edition of Car-Chum. If you want a considered and serious digest on second generation car models like Ford’s Capri, the C2 Corvette, Mercedes W210 E Class and the Jaguar MkII…you’re still in the right place. Sort of.

Send Car-Chum a Text Mike teaches Tony how to say Alpine (as in A110), Tony teaches Mike how to say Pallas. And was Marcus Tandy’s A610 really an Alpine when it blew up in the last episode of BBC’s Eldorado? Support the show
Send Car-Chum a Text Swedish-square design, dependable dating and tiny wheels all feature along with an unbreakable Range Rover Classic and the marvellously mundane Sierra, Montego and Volvo 240. Support the show
Send Car-Chum a Text Tony accidentally stumbles on Mike’s favourite subject – cars of TV and Film fame. Turns out, he knows rather a lot about it. Ghostbusters, James Bond, Dukes of Hazzard, Inspector Morse and, of course, The Blues Brothers all feature on this star-studded episode of Car-Chum. Support the show...
