  • Float level adjustment in a carby.

    G’day Greg, I have listened to every podcast and I’m 99.9% impressed with the way that you apply your knowledge and skills to interviewing your guests.

    The .1% that becomes a negative is the music and advertising. They are too loud in comparison to the speech, especially when the music is at the same time as the spoken word.

    This may only be a small criticism, but it will stop a sudden dive for the volume control on the stereo when the music is happening.

    Cheers and thanks for a great show, ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Re-Release: Alan Jones - part 2
Q: What was it like back in that era to try and, you know, be fast around those joints?
Jones says Hockenheim was relatively straightforward and fast, while the Nürburgring was so extensive that he doubted anyone could know it completely. He practiced by hiring a BMW and driving repeated laps.
Re-Release: Alan Jones - part 2
Q: The best car that you ever drove and recollections of it, is that the car we reflected on before?
Jones names the Williams FW07B as his favorite, saying it felt comfortable and let him do anything with it. He also felt at home in a Porsche 935.
Re-Release: Alan Jones - part 1
Q: How did you stitch some of the race deals together?
Jones says he deliberately introduced himself to people at race meetings, built relationships in the paddock, and made his contribution and expectations clear to teams.
Re-Release: Alan Jones - part 1
Q: Would you have been, if you could change eras and do it all again with these new cars, would you kind of commit to running the new cars?
Jones says the cars still appeal to him and he wishes he were young and fit enough to drive one, while noting that people's choices change with age.
Jarrod Hughes | Part 1 - full family commitment & pestering the Dude
Q: How did that sort of stuff, and I think it did in Super 2 as well, mate, how did that stuff impact you?
Hughes says the financial strain was severe, and his family struggled to fund Super2. His sister contributed her savings, and support from Erebus and later Paul Hadley, Graham Cheney and Karen Cheney enabled him to keep racing.
