  • Light hearted classic car chat

    They talk about 60s -90s classic cars which is the era I like, don’t take themselves too seriously and focus on driving not money - well worth a listen,

  • Refreshingly different take on the genre. Really like the trawls through the classifieds and auction sites and that they follow up after the sale with results and discussion. Some creative and unique features as well. Keep it up.

Max suggests that if the mechanical aspects are sound, then a tired appearance can still be enjoyable, depending on how one uses the car.
