About this episode
Johnny and Richard dive into a lively discussion about various automotive topics, including the surprising longevity of the Mercedes A-Class and the new Citroen C5 Aircross. They share personal anecdotes about driving the Civic Type R and the quirks of its speed warning system. The episode also explores the KGM Torres, a unique SUV with an old-school feel, and the Morgan Supersport, which garners attention for its design and driving experience. The hosts reflect on the automotive industry, including hydrogen vehicles and the impact of modern production methods on exclusivity.
This week Jonny and Richard accidentally fill Britain’s number one car podcast with chat about cars. Topics covered include the DS No4, the Civic Type R, overspeed warning noises, a small review of the KGM Torres, the problem with hydrogen cars, a longer review of the Morgan Supersport, a tribute to Mr Tamiya, an amazing Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale recreation, the Garagisti GP1, and how Richard’s Beat came to be detailed down in Cornwall.
