  • Guys this is one of the reasons why you have the followers you have because you are so honest about everything, just keep it coming
  • The truth will out: manufacturers accept criticism assuming it’s not insulting. The feedback shows what issues exist/ good bits that exist in relation to an independent person… so no payment ensures that the truth will out every time. Keep going chaps,it is appreciated…oh, and the podcast is great as well 😁😁
  • Don't forget from April 2025 electric cars are proposed to subject to VED. As a lot of electric cars are over £40k they attract the luxury car tax. Wonder what that will do to sales.
  • @jondobbs
    The Uk will resemble the Cuba car market where used ice cars are kept running for decades

    love the show each episode is engaging and guys are being real which makes it even better please keep it honest and keep it on going because we love it
  • Really enjoyed this episode gents 👌🏻. Keep up the good work.
  • The 1 private buyer of every 11 EV sales all have YouTube channels justifying their purchase 😅
  • I agree about Goodwood. I felt the 'motorshow' part of the show was very lacking compared to previous years. Even the motorsport paddock seemed a bit lacking too.
  • @ariatoto
    Can we get more frequent episodes please please please
  • Agreed about FoS, saw several reels on my IG after FoS doing paid partnerships with new brands and getting absolutely slated in the comments. Well done for sticking to your guns. 👊
  • I can see why they've called it a Capri - someone from the naming team was looking over the design team's shoulder and could only see from the top of the front light unit to the top of the rear light unit, ie the 'window line'. From that perspective it is very Capri-esque with the rear quarter window curve. But the Capri made it's name as the UK Mustang, the working man's E Type. It was a sports coupe, not a fat lump with a Capri hat on!!!
  • Joe - I empathise with your crash (which I’m sure was a lot bigger than mine 5 weeks ago. Large haematoma on my left side plus swelling, lacerations etc), but really nervous about riding again. Out tomorrow for the first proper ride with the group since, also changed to flat pedals which I’ve never used before, so does feel like learning to ride again!!
  • Synthetic sustainable fuels is a better answer than EV. It would mean we don't need to build EVs, which in itself is environmentally disastrous, and we could continue to drive all the cars we currently have.

    Great podcast guys..👍🏻👌🏻
  • Good luck with the auction of the car I hope it makes a lot of money for the charity 👍.P.S another great episode.
  • Interesting chat guys. Are those EV percentages for building or sales? Coz you can force and fine manufacturers into building them, but you can't force people into buying them...
  • Very interesting and informative episode, guys! I can not understand how European manufacturers are forced by government to basically throw away their build up knowledge and technical state of their ice’s by 2030. The top of BMW and Porsche have already warned the German government that they will leave Germany ….
  • it will be interesting in the USA now that Chinese EV's have a 100% tariff.
