  • You’re not that old

    I’m only half way through the first Martin Buckley episode and know this podcast is going to be up there with my automotive favourite. Back to the beginning after this one. And being born in 1970 doesn’t make us old!

  • Great memories

    Only recently found this podcast. It’s brilliant! Great memories and stories from the best industry. I’ve been in the trade since the 80’s and these are so interesting and relatable. Sam’s knowledge of the old cars and her stories of some of the characters is really enjoyable to listen to. A great find! Derek
