  • Great banter, great automotive topics and great show!

    This is fast becoming one of my favourite shows, quality content, and a bunch of mates have a good time discussing their cars, their car issues and automotive worlds as they buy and sell cars, mod cars as well as go to events. They also have live topics on Facebook to which they answer questions. Keep up the excellent work!

Q: How did you manage to get an MR2 on stage at Eurovision and have it lit up the way you did?

The Weekend Run September 2026
Q: Question number seven: Why could the Chrysler 300C diesel feel the same inside as the petrol version?
