Ben's a huge fan of Number 27 so he has trouble restraining himself talking with one of his heroes, while Dave is titillated by Jack's accent.  Jack tells us about how his channel has changed over time and grown to become a full-time job, and what a fun job!  He gets to drive all kinds of cool and interesting cars as well as fettle his own projects.  Mickey asks what makes a good episode and we learn how Jack not only makes his episodes interesting but also how he chooses his subjects.  We all feel mutual envy for what cars can be had on each other's sides of the Atlantic.  Jack knows all about Misty's favourite French sammiches and we commiserate on the idiocy of humans and the cars they choose.  Tim's trivia question is educational as always, but Jack schools us even further on the subject!\nWe welcome your support via Patreon and your questions and feedback via our website."},"annotations":[{"startTime":72.24,"endTime":76.86,"type":"car","title":"Land Rover Range Rover","url":"/cars/land-rover/range-rover","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/Land_Rover_Range_Rover_%285th_generation%29_1X7A6039.jpg","quote":"...ith what is the difference between Land Rover and Range Rover?
