Brings back so many great memories of old family motors, down to the one carsick sibling !! I especially loved Joe Howman's episode. My mum passed her test before my dad so we had dull ones...Austin 1100, 2 Vauxhall Vivas and a Ford Consul that was massive and had no power steering !! My first car was a Triumph Dolomite 😆😆

United Kingdom2 years ago - Memories come flooding back!
Great podcast, been a subscriber since the early days. We all like to look back on our childhood and for many a big part of that was the cars and car journeys of our family. Andy and Jon’s secret is getting the interesting stories and memories from the different generations over the years, some from well known petrolheads but equally some from everyday life.
Apple Podcasts5Beach Buggy BlokeUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Nostalgia Flashback!
If you grew up in the 60s, 70s or 80s, this podcast will zoom you back there faster than you can say “Morris Marina”. Cars and car-related stuff you’d forgotten about get talked about and topics kicked about which makes for a really enjoyable listen. Just goes to show what an impact those first car memories have on us all.
