Description

Join Andy and Jon, two friends who have discussions with invited guests about their personal relationships with automotive nostalgia and family history. 

Each episode kicks off with us asking our guest “what’s your earliest car memory?”
From there it’s a journey back through time towards the modern day, but generally focusing on vehicles we remember from childhood.
We ask about siblings, neighbours, music, smells, smoking, breakdowns, selling, buying, accidents and more. 

Despite the podcast title, we don’t discriminate against cars belonging to other people, such as Mum’s, Gran’s, Uncle’s, Aunts, friends, or even a neighbours. 
If those cars made an impression, we want to talk about them.

Send us Fan Mail Just a quick audio note to say "We're still alive" and we haven't forgotten you. In fact, we recorded this whilst we were recording another guest for Season 9. We've recorded 4 so far of Season 9, with more guests pencilled in for this September. In this bonus episode, Jon and Andy have a quick chat about summer holidays, Jon's work with grass cutting and furniture sales, Andy's rusty 944 and modern classics going up in value, and of course the fact we've had a li...
Send us Fan Mail We're joined by Tom Gray, who may be better known to you as 'That Guy Gray' an automotive content creator. He's sat in his Range Rover L322 for this interview. Tom's earliest car memory starts off with him around age 12, and a Sunbeam Alpine that he would steer from the lap of a family friend. Other motoring memories include staying up 'late' to watch Top Gear with hid Dad. His Dad was and still is, a bit of a petrol head. Prior to children he'd had a Ford Escort ...
Send us Fan Mail Paul Harding steps into the co-host chair once more for this great episode with Emily Wilson. We found Emily on Instagram Emily Wilson’s Cars (@emwilsons_cars) • Instagram photos and videos where her channel has rocketed to now over 40k followers in only a matter of months, largely based on her 81 year old Dad's antics, knowledge and huge likeability, and her own skill of extracting soundbites and pearls of wisdom and turning them into social media content for others to enjoy...
Send us Fan Mail We're joined by Paul Lucas, a serial kit car builder and man behind the YouTube channel Kit Cars With Paul 79. Kit Cars with Paul79 - YouTube Our conversation starts with us diving into the channel, what made him start doing kit cars, and whether its a day job. From there we're back on track with Paul's earliest car memory - an MGB GT with a V8, possibly a factory built car, maybe a diy upgrade. Later this car would be replaced with Triumph Stags, which would faci...
Send us Fan Mail We're joined by Ben Marshall from the YouTube channel Dad Cars to discuss why and how he got involved in the automotive world. It all starts with a Mitsubishi Space Wagon, a rare car, with 7 seats, back in the day but a car Ben would love to get his hands on, although they have all seemingly vanished from the planet! Following his parents split, his Dad got a sliver Mk1 Fiat Punto as a runaround, his Mum never passed her test, despite several attempts. Music wise, Bens ...
