What old cars do you really like but would never buy? Max and Matt fess up their fantasies and then burst them. Also - were pop up headlights cool or did they just make you look like a winker? Plus, Matt goes unsupervised to the Historics auction and gets distracted by stuff Max told him to avoid. And we come across the rudest numberplate we've seen in a long time. Who would leave that on their car?! All that and more is here in Episode 51. So hit play and lose yourself in our chaotic world of classic cars! Send a textFollow us on Instagram: @thetyrekickersukFacebook: The Tyre KickersFinalist - Independent Podcast Awards 2024 & 2025"},"annotations":[{"startTime":0.0,"endTime":5.06,"type":"car","title":"Rolls-Royce Rollsroyce Silver","url":"/cars/rolls-royce/silver-shadow","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/1980_Rolls-Royce_Silver_Shadow_II_Classic-Gala_2025_DSC_1103.jpg","quote":"I said I was ready to record, then I got lost in Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow colours on the  internet and then completely forgot about it.","canonicalId":"car:rolls-royce:silver shadow","priority":0.5,"confidence":1.0,"source":"fuzzy","data":{"imageAttribution":"Alexander Migl (CC BY-SA 4.0)"}},{"startTime":29.32,"endTime":35.3,"type":"car","title":"TR7","url":"/cars/triumph/tr7","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/25/1975_Triumph_TR7_3.5_Front.jpg","quote":"...
