These days car names aren't what they used to be. Cars often sound more like appliances today than a form of continental seduction they once did. Will we ever see a return to days when cars were sounded as sexy as Mangusta, Miura or Lusso? We also discuss the ongoing plague of the modern-day car spotter, who seems to prefer rummaging through your bins than appreciating a car from a respectful distance.

We start of this week's show with a plea to end to sheer stupidity that we see on our roads every single day. But we don't want to be moany Michaels here, so we also discuss the recent Herbert Park car show and delve into what made the humble first generation Renault Twingo so damn adorable.

In this week's episode, we discuss the tribalism surrounding electric and combustion-engined cars and whether it's possible to like both. Dave explains why the Jeep Avenger isn't a superhero and why Mazda's latest car isn't really a Mazda, which leads to a discussion of the weird and wonderful collaborations between different car manufacturers.
