Darren Gough is one of this country's greatest ever cricketers, having represented England and his beloved Yorkshire for decades. He won Strictly Come Dancing (twice if you believe him!) in the noughties, but these days golf is his greatest passion, along with cars of course. When it comes to motors, with Darren it's normally the bigger the better! Range Rovers, Land Rovers and even the behemoth that is the Cadillac Escalade is on his hitlist, but there have been smaller toys along the way in his more formative years. These days though, as a respectable man in his mid fifties, Darren can see himself looking quietly understated and naturally sophisticated in an Aston Martin, provided he doesn't have to pay for it. So, true to form and upholding almost every Yorkshire stereotype there is, Goughie wants to blag one, as he may have mentioned 3 or 5 times to Jason and Dave!
He may not look like your average YouTuber, but car content creator / full time farmer Harry Metcalfe is nothing short of being an online sensation! His 'Harry's Garage' videos get millions of views worldwide, and within those fabled four walls is a car collection to die for! When your podcast guest has a Lamborghini Countach as just one of the many toys ready to be played with at the weekend, then you know it's going to be a great episode!
Fuelling Around is back for its ninth series, and the boys are launching with one of their favourite people on the planet! Kevin McCloud has hosted Grand Designs on Channel 4 for the past 25 years and shows no signs of stopping, but when he's not marvelling at ingenious architectural design, Kevin likes to indulge his other great love of cars! He's got all sorts of oddities, most of which are in bits, but there's no mistaking his credentials as diehard fan of all things automotive! So, buckle up as Jason, Dave and Kevin have a virtual root around in that fantasy garage, and contemplate a dream drive to beat them all!
It's the final episode in the current series, and the boys have pulled a belter of a guest out of the bag! Pink Floyd's legendary drummer Nick Mason is widely regarded as one of the most notable celebrity petrolheads of all them all, and has a car collection to drool over! Pick of the bunch is a Ferrari 250 GTO worth an estimated £40m, amongst a glittering array of automotive exotica! Sit down and strap yourself in for one of the best episodes Jason and Dave have delivered to date!
On this week's episode, Jason and Dave welcome along a YouTube sensation! With just shy of a million followers to his instagram account, Paul Wallace's 'Supercars of London' is one of the biggest automotive channels in the world and shows no sign of slowing down. From his early days of chasing after supercars on the streets of London's west end, Paul has built his passion into a fully fledged business and now collaborates with the biggest car makers on the planet. Despite the fact that he's now undoubtedly a major player in the car content game, Paul is humble and refreshingly down to earth, as he shares the story of his incredible rise to the top!

A superstar DJ and a practicing music lawyer! It's an unlikely 2 hats to wear work wise, but that's the life of legendary deck spinner Judge Jules, as he travels around the world playing to huge crowds, and splitting his time between luxury homes in London and Mallorca.

The boys are back with a brand new series of Fuelling Around, and what a way to kick off the run! Jason and Dave are in safe hands this week, as they're joined by an Arsenal and England legend between the sticks. It is of course the one and only Mr David Seaman!
For the final episode in the series, Jason and Dave are joined by a legend of British motor racing, in the form of Johnny Herbert. Johnny and Jason knew each other well in their younger days of karting as kids, and both then went on to enjoy highly successful careers in their respective racing fields. They even spent a season together in the BTCC, but more about that in the episode! It's a lovely way to wrap the series, as Johnny reminisces about the feeling of winning the British GP at Silverstone, as we all look back on a glorious day in British motorsport history!
This week, Jason and Dave enjoy the company of a legend in the world of motoring journalism. Quentin Willson has been on our screens for decades, from the early days of Top Gear, before doing Fifth Gear and Britain's Worst Driver! He's also been a champion of the British driver for almost as long, and what he doesn't know about cars and motoring in this country, frankly isn't worth knowing!
He's one of the biggest YouTube stars in the world, and Sam Fane aka 'Seen Through Glass' is Jason and Dave's special guest this week. From his early days of car spotting in Knightsbridge, to filming some of the most exotic supercars around the world and getting paid for it, Sam's is a brilliant story and this is a cracking episode!
