Hello again!
It’s Easter. A time of rebirth and renewal. A time to dig out those old sound clips that you previously considered unworthy of broadcast and to attempt to give them new life.
In this re-edited version of our bumper episode on car culture, Nick and Gavin once again discuss cars, magazines, films and advertisements that evoke the spirit of driving and car ownership.
In this version, we ask:
- Why can’t either of us say ‘patented’?
- Who is more drunk (in the studio, not in the car) – Nick or Gavin?
- Will Gavin get shot down for the manner in which he attempts to praise Bertha Benz? (Answer: almost certainly)
- Did we ‘enjoy MG’ a little too much?
- Which is the worst car advert (indeed, the worst ad) ever? (Nick says, ‘Seat – Because them…us’)
- What’s that buzzing noise? (Answer: Nick’s laptop fan)
- Are John and Ian with us, and will we get the backing?
- Would you want your car delivered by Kowalski and have you gathered that he drives very fast?
- Is ‘Weekend’ about the hell of consumer culture or the sexiness of sitting on eggs?
- Is greed good, and will all have our own trains in the future?
- Is Nick’s new car more boring than a Honda Jazz? At least it’s not a Nissan Note….
