I’m 24 and I have just bought my first (relatively) fast car - polo gti. I work from home every friday and listen to the podcast week in week out. Thankyou all for being a part, of what i believe, will be a part of my life i will hold strong nostalgic value…
Perez was a has been before red bull picked him up ? And he is still shitting on drivers that if he sat in their cars he would be fucked!! Driver ability has been overtaken by the watch worn , car and sponsorship down the side of the car
Music. Can I respectfully suggest re-visiting Paul Oakenfold's album BUNKKA? For some reason its edgy style suits nighttime drive through the city IMO. All tracks are great but to pick 2 - 'Hold Your Hand' feat Emiliana Torrini and The harder they come feat Nelly Furtado
My Matchbox collection would suggest that peak wedge was the Alfa Romeo Carabo. I know it never made production but it should have and if coachbuilding on a skateboard chassis gets going I'm having one! Another point for Gandini and Bertone.
Shocking that the Murcielago wasn't mentioned as a great Wedge! The epitome of Wedge and toughness! 💯🔥 And for godsakes how has all these guys missed "Cosmic Girl" by Jamiroquai! An absolute classic with a banger of a video featuring some awesome cars! 😍
Having been on track with Max once (on a test day) and watched him race since he was about 11 in detail it astonishes me how he gets so little recognition. He was doing things in a kart I could hardly fathom. We are witnessing a genius at work right now, even if he's out front alone as drivers you can surely appreciate how rare it is to see someone drive at the level he is right now.
Screamadelica , classic album , it was 1991 not 93 . It was their 3rd album ( I think ) , definitely not their first . I thought Chris was taking the piss when he said he was in Ibiza! The oldest raver in San Antonio !😂😂😂 Blink 182 , I miss you Absolute tune 👍🏻
American Chapter contributing here. A friend just picked up a Bricklin. Nothing too interesting there, but it was a barnfind of such quality I think Johnny Smith might have had an orgasm. VIN showed it was one of the first dozen to be built. It had NEVER been driven and had yet to be registered. It's 'logbook' had yet to be transferred to a customer. It might not be a barnfind 250GTO (or the better looking 275 😉) but what a cool thing. Time capsule doesn't even begin to describe it - incredible.
I remember my old Observer's Book of Cars by Stuart Blaydon - several editions had the Bitter (founder by Erich Bitter). Many happy memories devouring those books.
Neil, we must meet one day. Your views are so similar to mine! I too love the Gordon Keeble. I nearly bought ch 25 about 18 years ago, but at the time I wasn't really ready for a saloon car (having an AC at the time). About £23-25 bought a really good one at the time now more than four times that needed! But you are right, it should be much more given that it will outrun a DB5. I used to do business with Jim Keeble in his 'post' GK days. They need the widened steel wheels to 'sit right' I feel.
I binge watched recently the entire series of the original Miami Vice, fantastic cars and music and the plots aren’t even too bad considering it was the 80’s 😂
Two comments on the topic of Lancia: 1. Re: pronunciation, the Italian chap at the FCA museum pronounces it “Lanchia” 2. They still exist! The Lancia Ypsilon sells very well in Italy (2nd best selling car a couple of years ago?) and is quite a charming thing to drive in the context of its home market.
The steering feel thing is an easy one for me, Integra Type-R DC5. A proper hydraulic steering system that's quite heavily weighted and sends beautiful, delicate sensations through your hands and up your arms.. If you get the chance, try one...
@@jep1912 Whick model, EK or EP?? Now i know the EP had electric power steering and it was not in the same league as the DC5, not even close.. The EK i am unsure on, i believe it had the same system as the DC2 Integra in which case it would've been good.
I stopped for coffee in Winchester on a Sunday morning in June 2014 and the Gordon Keeble Owners Club had a meet there. I was told that they were expecting about 80 of the cars to turn up. There were several dozen lined up when I left, all drop-dead gorgeous.
Another Brilliant 1hr plus of car related chat. Loved Neil recounting his 1st road trip in the Cortina to Lloret Del Mar. We did a similar trip to L’Estartit i(near to Lloret) n a Diahatsu F20 in 1998. It was a very slow journey there and back.
1975, Bradford, Gold, Lambourghini Urraco! That's what my Father was driving, until he wrapped it around a lamppost on the A650 in the wet! Pretty cool back then
Having owned a 996.2 GT3 an S1 Elise and a Caterham 7 I'd be inclined to agree that at speed the 996 is absolutely phenomenal - even better with the thinner cup wheel on. The caterham I agree heavy but makes it easy at speed. My father owns a 997.2 GT3 and he also agrees the steering is somewhat hampered by the route master wheel. In my current S1 I agree there's a few geometry changes and brackets to steal from the S2 to make it that little better. I'd also throw in 986 Boxster S... Amazing car!
I loved the 2 car garage. Although it was way out of my price range, Ed and chris are 100% correct. This is a game most car guys play at all different price ranges, trying to trade our way to the best possable dream car. When buying cars I always thing of Soap in "Lock Stock & two smoking barrels" when they ask him if he can afford the money for the poker buy in and he says "that depends on how you look at it. I can afford it if i see it again".
I’ve never been into moto gp, and the video pass is expensive (compared to f1). But I’m on the edge of my seat nearly every race, theres multi lap battles for position etc. I’ve fallen asleep during 2 of the f1 races this year, anyone looking for a bit of action should check it out!
Wedge car Stratos Group4 without a doubt, Countach close behind. Wedge car that no one knows (covering two bases), Argyll Turbo GT - a Scottish car for christs sake! Another unknown brand Monica 560.....very pretty 'French' car sitting on Wolfrace wheels. Look it up 😉
The one car I remember for its steering feel was a Peugeot MI16. It just danced gently in your hands and communicated everything. For me better than any of my Porsche’s, Exige, Caterham etc. The Caterham steering could be improved by checking and adjusting tightness of the grub screws on the ‘ telescopic’ steering shaft a hilariously basic safety feature.
I doubt the hosts read these but Oliver Winterbottom (Jag, TVR, Lotus) is my wedge guy. If you are going to wedge, it had better be all out geometric. Without him, the S1 Esprit probably would not have happened. My exception to that as a favorite wedge is the BL Triumph TR7 V8 rally car. The TR7 coupe was such a great wedge.
I used to walk to school every day past dozens of dreary Allegro's, Marina's, the odd Cortina if I was lucky. One day a bright yellow Lotus Eclat S1 appeared in a neighbour's driveway, they'd won a department store perfume competition. Stopped me in my tracks, looked like a space ship and still does. I'll have that for my wedge please (but parked between a Countach and Stratos...).
How did you forget the Ferrari 308/328/288 GTO in the wedge discussion? This series is the epitome of wedge aesthetics for me. Throw in the F-355 too for good measure.
Arrow-Johnston Scottish car maker! Grampian car museum in Alford is always worth a visit…not least the drive from Blairgowrie over the hill A93…my favourite U.K. road
Steering Feel. 1. Lotus Elise S1 - by a long, long way, so far ahead of anything else. 2. Mazda NA MX5 (unassisted) 3. 675LT 4. 964 C2 5. Superformance GT40.
Harris nails it as ever - early S2 Elise (not the fat federalised Toyota version). so you keep the unassisted brakes, the flyweight K series engine etc... but get all the developments Lotus made to the chassis. My S2 Elise was steering perfection. Shoutout to a well setup 986 Boxster too - not much else for £5k will be that good.
steering feel. Alfa Romeo Giulia Quad I like. Mazda MX-5. I was surprised the most from Alfa 4c (Manual, not power steering). 911s are good as well. Just rented one from Porsche Stuttgart and drove through the alps. I actually like my new 2023 Corvette, too. YES, attend Pebble Beach. I go most years.
At what point in the discussion will people perhaps consider that the rules in F1 have worked perfectly, and the reason we aren’t seeing even 2 drivers at the same team able compete at the top is the cars are incredibly close in pace and it really is the driver solely shining now. As a Ferrari fan I was far more turned off in the Mercedes era because that car was so clearly dominant no one else was close. I found the previous RB “dominance” far closer as of course 2 of the 4 years went right down to the wire. My point I guess is previously I thought any of those 20 drivers had a chance at both wins and the whole championship if they simply were given a drive in the Mercedes. I really don’t think that currently putting one of “my” drivers in the red bull would guarantee anything! None of the drivers are bad and the closeness and tiny spread of the field in quali almost every race this season has been a really refreshing change of pace.
Obscure car brands? I thoroughly agree with Neil on the Gordon Keeble, but I will nominate Gilbern. Who on earth has heard of the name apart from car nerds like me?
We've seen a move from a predominantly aerodynamic formula that many teams understood to an aerodynamic formula (ground effect) that only one man really understands. All the other teams are flailing around - I suspect McLaren's new found form will be short lived like Aston Martin's. Sorry, I'm normally glass-half-full but I don't see how anyone is going to pass Red Bull in the next couple of seasons. Happy to be proven wrong :)
@@GorbyrevIndeed 👍🏻 loved that thing. It came after my first car… AX GT (E156 VUM) long departed this world. Only 10 left registered in the UK now I think.
@@jep1912 I believe at least one of those AX GT's is in possession of one Chris Harris. I had a cooking AX, a Dimension I think. It was a brilliant little thing.
Listening to this panel it's as if they've only been watching F1 for a few years. Rose tinted spectacles. People have been moaning about teams dominating in F1 for years and years and years. Nature of the beast.
@ unknown brand and unknown cars: Lots and lots in old times. But more recent: Marcos. The TSO. A pity it never really made it into full serial production. @ wedge: Not to forget the Matra Murena.
Anyone know why Neil said: A) we can’t mention evo magazine? B) why you can’t get another car if you buy the 4.0 997 I don’t know the gossip on either of those!
Absolutely love this podcast. I always looking forward to listening to it and I love all the banter and nerdy talk. I truly don't understand the positivity about the 612. Has to be one of the UGLIEST modern Ferraris. A 1st gen. California looks better! Keep up the great work, fellas! -Tim
I’ve watched all of these podcasts now and they’re throughly entertaining, I even find myself often agreeing with you guys despite the generation difference. Some advice needed…I have just finished my Design Engineering degree, however, I love everything cars and would love to get into the automotive journalism sector. My question is, should I go and do a journalism masters or should I just try my luck and get applying for junior roles despite my degree being slightly off ? Thanks in advance to any answers.
Comment section… What is the best obtanium steering feel? - my vote would be W124 Mercedes. I’ve taken steering feel a bit differently in the fact that the damping of the suspension is fully felt through the steering of the W124 in a way that leaves you feeling as if even the worst English A roads are mountainous roads in Italy
Gents, when discussing wedge-shaped car favorites, I was surprised by the non-mention the the famous Triumph TR7, especially by a panel of Britts! Of course not in the same performance club as the Lambo and others but nevertheless a true classic in the sense Triumph was definitely thinking outside the box. Even the campaign slogan “the shape of things to come” was all about the wedge shape and how it was supposed to improve downforce and handling. A big miss in my opinion from a wonderful bunch of blokes that overthought this one!
One of the few podcasts where it releases at a more convenient time in Australia than the rest of the world.
Totally agree, that is my Friday done and dusted and I can wind down now.
Same here (an old grey Pommie git)
There is only one thing I hate about these episodes is they end when I could listen all day. I have watched them all again already once.
I’m 24 and I have just bought my first (relatively) fast car - polo gti. I work from home every friday and listen to the podcast week in week out. Thankyou all for being a part, of what i believe, will be a part of my life i will hold strong nostalgic value…
When is Neil going to take us on a tour of his car collection?
Here we go the highlight of Friday morning.
Perez was a has been before red bull picked him up ? And he is still shitting on drivers that if he sat in their cars he would be fucked!! Driver ability has been overtaken by the watch worn , car and sponsorship down the side of the car
Friday afternoons in Australia are always sweeter from about 3pm onwards!
Music.
Can I respectfully suggest re-visiting Paul Oakenfold's album BUNKKA?
For some reason its edgy style suits nighttime drive through the city IMO.
All tracks are great but to pick 2 - 'Hold Your Hand' feat Emiliana Torrini and The harder they come feat Nelly Furtado
A question for a future pod to the CC team: What desirable car is safe to buy with a high mileage (thinking +-100 000 miles on the clock)
My Matchbox collection would suggest that peak wedge was the Alfa Romeo Carabo. I know it never made production but it should have and if coachbuilding on a skateboard chassis gets going I'm having one! Another point for Gandini and Bertone.
For wedge-shaped cars, Aston-Martin Lagonda.

Sorry guys I love this podcast, but Mercedes dominated for 8 years in the same way previously Redbull this is or has been a norm for 20 years……
Glad the Stratos was mentioned in the wedge section.

Would like to thank these guys for giving me a very enjoyable podcast to listen to when I nap my baba every weekend.
Surprised no one mentioned Probe 16 when the wedge car discussion came up. It was featured in A Clockwork Orange.
Greatest wedges. 1. Maserati Boomerang, 2. Esprit concept, 3. LP400
I binge watched recently the entire series of the original Miami Vice, fantastic cars and music and the plots aren’t even too bad considering it was the 80’s 😂
YES!
Yasss for Blink 182!! The whole of that album [untitled / Blink 182] is a good one (grew up with it)

The steering in the current FL5 type r is properly great. Makes it easy to feel the limit of the front tires. I’m amazed that it’s electric.

no power steering and a very direct connection to the road.

And getting better each year.
One of the topics should be the best motor shows the team has attended based on cars released that year.
Bravo chaps another brilliant show
My old Renault 19 16V (J935 CYG) steering feel was a sweetie.

Im with Neil, i too am a fan of big Bristols. 😉

This is just mage fellas
Top gear hosts.
Chris and 2 of these boys as a guest each week.
Edward, please get the Periscopio in Colorado Copper :)
The first rule of collecting cars- “we don’t talk about this in public” !
@ unknown brand and unknown cars: Lots and lots in old times. But more recent: Marcos. The TSO. A pity it never really made it into full serial production.
@ wedge: Not to forget the Matra Murena.
we've seen single drive team dominance a lot before. Schumacher, early 2000's Hamilton for last 3 championships.
TreVoR 350... 🤣 like a slice of edam.
My favourite wedge is the Saab Sonett or maybe the Austin Princess….
cute that blink182 is a young persons band haha
Anyone know why Neil said:
A) we can’t mention evo magazine?
B) why you can’t get another car if you buy the 4.0 997
I don’t know the gossip on either of those!
Enjoying this every week, not so much the endless Porschezzzzzzzzz refs but I guess they're not bad old things
This week's two-car garage is way too strong. It has all the cars I want and none of the cars I have.
Absolutely love this podcast. I always looking forward to listening to it and I love all the banter and nerdy talk.
I truly don't understand the positivity about the 612. Has to be one of the UGLIEST modern Ferraris. A 1st gen. California looks better!
Keep up the great work, fellas!

Comment section…
What is the best obtanium steering feel?
- my vote would be W124 Mercedes. I’ve taken steering feel a bit differently in the fact that the damping of the suspension is fully felt through the steering of the W124 in a way that leaves you feeling as if even the worst English A roads are mountainous roads in Italy
Otmar not chuckling this evening.
I think you may have spoken too soon about Alpine, Otmar Szafnauer will be leaving after the Belgian GP 😢
Enjoyed the banter,by the way does cris suffer from bad sinuses, he always sounds like hes a bit congested
The Ferrari 458 Speciale is about £400,000 now let alone in 10 years
Thank god for The Beano - thanks guys

Ah don't tell everyone about the scaglietti. Been looking at those to see if it's worth the risk.
At one point Neil mentioned that they ‘can’t talk about evo’, does anyone know the reason behind this?
