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 In this episode, Andy is joined by co-host Paul Harding to chat with Peter Haynes, European Marketing Director at RM Sotheby’s, exploring a lifetime surrounded by extraordinary cars. Peter shares memories of growing up with his father’s pre-war Aston Martin and BMW 328, learning to rebuild an Austin Seven from the ground up, and driving in a Ferrari 250 GT SWB that his dad could have bought for just a few thousand pounds. Along the way, we discuss classic Citroëns, childhood ...
Send us Fan Mail Alex Michaelides joins Andy and Jon to share how his father’s lifelong passion for cars shaped his own childhood and career. His earliest motoring memory is sitting in the family garage inside his dad’s 1985 Delta Formula Ford, surrounded by the sights and smells of a racing car. Alongside it were a rare Florida Green MGC University Special, an MGB and, later, a Ferrari 308 GT4. Alex recalls an eclectic succession of family cars, from a Mercedes W123 and Triumph Acclaim to a ...
Send us Fan Mail No Jon this week, but instead we're joined by Paul Gardiner from Speedbroker. As it happens, and by sheer fluke, Paul is good friends with out guest, Jo, and so we have a really open and honest conversation about her car memories, caring for her Dad, going car spotting as a form of respite from caring, and buying a dream car to help remember her Dad since he has passed away. Jo's earliest car memory is cleaning her Dad's Rover 800 at the weekend. Later, they...
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 ...
