- Brilliant and best car podcast esp the road trips!
Having listened to this podcast for years now I have never gotten around to saying thank you to Gareth and all the gang.
Gareth’s road trips to Wales testing out a range of UK spec cars are wonderful listening. I feel like I’m sitting in the passenger seat having s chat with a very knowledgeable fiend. Every time one of the episodes pops up I reach for my running shoes and make sure I’m out long enough to hear at least part one, if not part two of there is one.
An extra thanks for your Christ... more

This podcast has been a companion of mine for quite a few years now and I can honestly say that it continues to go from strength to strength.
If it’s F1, Le Mans, car reviews, adventures around the UK or going on the occasional jaunt to North Wales in a variety of cars you’re looking for, then this is the podcast for you!
Give it a listen, and I’m sure you’ll be hooked and start to listen to the massive back catalogue. Enjoy!

I think Richard Porter is key to the success and he outweighs the terrible attempt at music/singing.
Hopefully all will be back on track once F1’s back
Apple Podcasts3864fgnUnited Kingdom6 years ago - Brilliant
Been tuning into this for the last 6months or so and love it. From the driving reviews from Gareth to the group chats, it never fails to entertain. Thanks folks!
On a note about the virtual racing - I agree that something that is a thing in its own right is better than attempting to recreate something real, badly. So how about virtual 90s BTCC racing? Time travel isn’t possible so we can’t do this in reality but could be achieved virtually. We all love a bit of 90s touring cars, let’s bring it... more
