    Every time I come back to this they’ve pushed in yet another ad break packed full of the kind of rubbish you only usually get on illegal football streams or dodgy porn sites.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

OTOSOT 98
Q: Any final tips for avoiding buying blind when looking at overseas cars?
Leverage owners clubs or trusted networks for pre-purchase assessments, use video walkthroughs, and if possible, arrange a live test drive or a post-purchase lift inspection to verify condition before finalizing.
OTOSOT 98
Q: What about importing: is it really as easy as it sounds, and how should you handle missing parts or repairs before the car lands?
Importing is much more manageable today; plan for potential missing parts by ordering them to ship with the car and consider having the car inspected remotely or in person before purchase; containerization and post-arrival checks are key steps.
OTOSOT 98
Q: Any good alternatives to a Thunderbird if you want a solid V8 family car within budget?
Look at other full-size American classics like the Mercury Cougar or Ford Falcon variants; also consider the overall ownership costs and parts availability, especially for distinctive trims and year-specific components.
OTOSOT 98
Q: One, should I buy something that's already in the UK or something from the United States?
Consider both options; UK-sourced cars are easier to inspect in person and avoid shipping costs, but US cars offer a broader pool and potentially better values if you're willing to manage shipping and import steps. Get a professional inspection if buying sight unseen.
OTOSOT 96
Q: What car adverts do you remember from past decades and why did they stand out, especially compared to modern campaigns?
They recount memorable campaigns like Take My Breath Away and Golf in the Rain, lament the brevity and dispersion of modern ads, and express a longing for more iconic, longer-form ads that create shared viewing experiences.
