I look forward to this podcast every Monday morning. Two mates bantering about adjacent car ridiculousness. Absolutely brilliant.

Do yourself a favor and listen to two car nerds ramble about anything but cars. It’s exquisite!

having a "nickname" is dumb · Jan 2023

Johnny and Rich are not only incredibly knowledgeable about their trade, but the chemistry is just right. Two mates just having a chat and interestingly enough, entertaining us who listen. I’ve been a regular listener (watcher) for years when they started with short vids on YouTube (being those back for sure). Side note, episode 101 was bloody unlistenable. Richard and Johnny…lads….eat with your mouth closed. The f’ing lip smacking was shocking and absolutely egregious. Cheers, boys. Keep up the great podcasts.
