Join us for a quick chat about Car Spotting Etiquette. With the response to our Car Spotting Tennis is shows no signs of slowing up, so we'll continue for now - but there are some rules we have put in place. The cars need to be in a public place, either a car park or on the road. If the car is parked on a drive, or behind a block of flats, then it doesn't count...It comes down to how you would feel if someone was snooping around your stuff really, and I do value a bit of privac...
We're joined by Jay from Players Classic, Players Shows, Flat 6 Show, Hoonigan and star of many PVW magazine features for this fantastic episode. Come with us, back in time to when Skoda's were seriously uncool - His Dad had many of them! Fortunately in Jay's words, he knew how to take care of himself, otherwise it would have been a very unpleasant time at school. Jay's Dad also had a Rover P6 with the number plate 999 BAN - and he was a Police Officer!! Other stories in this ...
This week we're joined by Dave Carey from Adelaide in Australia!Yep! The good work we have been doing has trickled down under, and we're gathering some momentum, which attracted motoring journalist and petrol head Dave to get in touch with us. Dave's father passed away when he was just over 5 years old, but he still has some strong memories of his car, he also recalls his Mums car, and their matching number plates.Conversation also covers an ex partner of his Mum's who robbed a service s...
The first episode of Season 4 really sets the bar high (but panic not, we've got some great guests waiting in the wings too), Steve Waddingham is the official company historian for none other than Aston Martin Lagonda, but when he's not researching old colour names, and digging out race cars from dusty barns, he's behind the wheel of his own Austin Allegro! Yep... you read that right! We talk about his Father's Austin Cambridge, him working at his Dad's garage fixing cars. His Grandad wh...
Jon and Andy went wild in the halls of the NEC with the newly acquired podcasting machine (thanks coffee buyers..) gathering together a wonderful and eclectic collection of earliest car memories from many different show goers. The quality is ok considering we recorded these stood up surrounded by hundreds of other people talking! So go easy on the critique!If you were one of the 'lucky' people we spoke to - thanks so much for your time, we really appreciate it. Normal service will r...
Jon and Andy are joined by Russell Quirk who recalls countless tales of his Dad's cars.He reckons his Dad swapped cars every 6 months, and we're not just talking old Ford Escorts (although he had an RS2000) we're talking E-Types, Aston Martin's, Rolls Royces, TVR, Porsche and more. Russell's Dad was an Estate Agent in Essex, and liked to show off a little as to how successful he was. In later life he got into Car Dealerships, and was known as Mazda Man due to his brand allegiance. R...

After pulling a few strings (and featuring Danny Hopkins, the editor of Practical Classics in a previous episode) Andy and Jon have secured media passes for the show on Sunday 24th March, and will be wandering the halls of the NEC in a bid to meet as many people as possible.On top of that, equipped with the crowd funded Zoom Podtrak machine, there will be the potential to record some audio for another episode whilst there too. Add into the mix of this bonus, a discussion on the Bromley P...
Jon and Andy are joined by Takona founder Lewis Warren to discover what got him into cars... Fortunately for us, the blame lies very firmly at his Father's door, and there's a string of decent cars indicating why. However, it wasn't a car thing for his Dad really, after the 205 GTI and the Toyota Celica, cars became an accessory for work. The Audi TT was the sportiest car available on the company car scheme, and as a Financial Advisor, the vehicles became an identity, and a way to demons...
Andy and Jon are joined by Charles Clegg, Co-Founder and CEO of Custodian, a car management app, designed for car collectors and enthusiasts. The story begins for Charles with a pair of Bristols... (oooh eer misses). One that he miraculously identified from his pushchair, the second belonging to his Mother, which after 20 years of ownership, met a fiery end parked in Knightsbridge, causing shop evacuations and road closures. Later on discussion turns to a Ferrari, in grey, bought new by Charl...
Andy and Jon are joined by Chuff, from Well Chuffed Media. He's an automotive photographer by trade, and Andy's had the pleasure of his professional company (that sounds a bit sordid) on a number of photoshoots with work. Talk starts with Chuff's cousin's Mk2 Golf GTI, then moves into a string of Ford Cortina's, takes in a full list, made in conjunction with his Mum, and rounds up with mention of VW campers, and Volkswagen Jettas too. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did...
Recorded a few days before Christmas, Jon and Andy discuss the closing of a chapter... It revolves largely around the sale of Jon's E39 5 Series, whether he will get another, and the process behind picking a CD to leave behind, as a token... Just as he remembers a Billy Ocean cassette in his Dad's car from years ago.It's short and sweet, but we hope you enjoy it.Support the Show.We’d love you to hear and share your stories, please tag and follow us on social media. www.instagram.com/mydadscar...
Andy and Jon are joined by Sam from Southern Cars in Manchester, a classic car dealership originally started by Sam's father 50 years ago.From Ferrari's and Lamborghini's in the garden, to the chinese-eye Rolls Royce Cloud 3 that was the one he'd never sell... Although Sam's Mum did drive it through a garage door into the back of a Mercedes Gullwing one Christmas, and her parents didn't speak until Easter!!This is a great journey through the world of car sales in the days gone, and how the cl...

Jon and Andy are joined today by Dan Rees.Dan is a friend of Andy's brother, and a jewelry designer by trade, he's also a dab hand at You Tube and Tik Tok, and a budding stand up comedian too. By his own admission, early on Dan tells us that he's the worst guest we could get on, but that doesn't stop the chat, or the laughs... Lots of silliness, stories about his brothers Mini, and later a Hearse, chasing would be car thieves with a screw driver, and his Mums Polo getting pulled out a d...
