  • Schtick becoming tired

    I like the content. Cadogan is informative and raises important issues. I suspect he's now burnt too many bridges in the industry though. My issue is with his delivery. The voices, the swearing, the references to "Orrstraaayliah", Dingo Piss Creek etc were once funny but are now becoming too repetitive and tiring - and how many times does he have to tell us he's a mechanical engineer! Good podcast, but John you need to think about a refresh.

  • Worst podcast I’ve ever heard

    This bloke just craps on in a child like voice for half the podcast reading out letters from listeners. He seems to enjoy the sound of his own voice. Worst podcast I had the misfortune of stumbling upon!

  • Johnny Boy !

    You always talk about towing conservative caravan weight limits. We all know everyone tows over those limits if you take a look on the highway… How about you talk about a safe towing setup to tow a 2.8 to 3.2 tonne caravan. Such as: tow ball height, level caravan, WDH, rear suspension sag, and front suspension lift… So many people push the limit and have no idea how to set the car up to tow a heavy or light caravan safely…. Just saying … See you out at Piss Creek one day Johnny Boy!

  • Honest motoring journalism

    I always enjoy listening to John talk cars, motoring, and the world in general. Sure he gets sweary, sometimes ranty, usually opinionated, but he always factual. And entertaining! If you are in “Straya” he will also save you money on new car purchases (at no cost to you!), great value all around.
