A hangar full of questions

Ep. 170

In their second recording from Bicester Heritage, Jonny and Richard take audience questions and talk SAAB specialists, a new song lyrics game, useless vans, tractor choices, wild horses, ill-advised things to do while driving, a secret Jonny needs to keep from Porsche, the surprise return of British Leyland, right foot clutching, a Metro GTa disaster, strange passengers, trailers made from half a car, good cars with bad passengers, car stitch-ups, and someone’s brought along a genuine no-name full suspension mountain bike.
