Description

This week, Overbore comes to you from inside a Genesis. A what? A Genesis. It's... sort of a Korean Lexus. Scrof explains all and, inevitably, he and Kitch try to fit as many song titles from a certain prog/pop-rock band into the conversation as they can. (Spoiler alert: they're not very good at this.)

Scrof explains why he thinks saloon cars like the Genesis may be about to make a comeback, and Rich elaborates on an encounter with a Renault Espace. Plus: how you can tell your 1990s Rovers apart by the amount of wood trim they’re fitted with. Never let it be said that we don't deal with the most pressing issues of the day.

Oh, and you can now get in touch with the show at overborepod@gmail.com - so send us an email!
