  • The mumble hour

    Would love to listen to every episode while riding in my motorcycle but the fact that every one of the presenters just mumbles into the mic really puts me off. Fix it!

    Great content but sound levels and quiet muttering make it very hard to listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Our worst long term test car, reviving TVR & best budget track cars | Episode 62
Q: What is the best budget track day car?
MX-5 is often recommended as a strong starting point due to light weight, simplicity, and tunability, with other affordable options like a stripped-out 350Z or a well-prepared Megane RS also discussed as viable track toys.
Aston Martin special | the £1.5m Valen & will we see an EV? With CEO Adrian Hallmark & Marek Reichman
Q: What is the thinking behind Valen, and how does it fit into your broader strategy for specials?
Valen is positioned as a mid-engine platform that expands the special car portfolio without diluting the core range; it's crafted to appeal to new collectors while maintaining Aston Martin's DNA, with a focus on technology stack, authentic price-to-value, and a cadence of carefully limited production.
Harry Metcalfe Q&A special: the Channel 4 blunder, Ferrari Luce & buying new cars | Episode 57
Q: You're clearly keen on Jaguars. So would you be tempted by the new Jaguar GT?
It's interesting as a high-performance car, but there are compromises in packaging and suitability for Evo's audience; I'd wait to see how it stacks up against established performance cars before deciding.
Our daily drivers & the world's best saloon, with Henry Catchpole | evo Q&A EP3
Q: What is the best practical family-friendly daily with weekend driving potential?
The panel suggests considering different configurations (front-wheel drive vs rear-wheel drive) and balancing practicality with driving enjoyment, recommending looking beyond a single “best” option and choosing a car that fits life needs while offering engaging driving dynamics.
The perfect power output, undercover driver's cars & has Porsche gone too far? | evo Q&A EP2
Q: Top five cars for a tight, twisty, bumpy mountain road in the north of England where it rains a lot.
A mix of all-wheel-drive for rain resilience and light, nimble cars with manageable power, such as a well-balanced RS4, a hot hatch like the Ford Fiesta ST, or even a compact Yaris GR, with openness to classic, light rear-wheel-drive options for lightweight handling; a manual transmission is preferred for engagement.
