  • I've listened for a long time and loved how open and fair Steve and Prior are about the whole world of motoring.

    To hear them this week humming and hawwing along as Jezza shits on anything electrified and tells how there's nothing good to look forward to except making octogenarians smile at fake e-types just seemed so gutless.

    I didn't expect them to argue with him but to platform this bloke who by his own admission refuses to help anyone else seems really off, poor show!

  • Best Car Pod by miles!

    Between them, Cropley & Prior wear their depth of knowledge & experience lightly and thankfully, keep the waffle to a minimum. I might even subscribe to the mag as my local newsagent has stopped stocking it!

  • Malcolm Wilson Bonus Episode

    Thoroughly enjoyable core podcast during the week was complemented wonderfully by this relaxed and informative conversation with Malcolm Wilson. Lots of interesting insights from him about his past, present and future made far an excellent listen, - and without the occasional flood of PR jargon of one or two weekend interviews in the past.

    It’s a great show and the weekend industry insights are a good way to get a glimpse how the UK market & industry-players see themselves too.
